Overview of this book

Docker is the de facto standard for containerizing apps, and with an increasing number of software projects migrating to containers, it is crucial for engineers and DevOps teams to understand how to build, deploy, and secure Docker environments effectively. Docker for Developers will help you understand Docker containers from scratch while taking you through best practices and showing you how to address security concerns. Starting with an introduction to Docker, you’ll learn how to use containers and VirtualBox for development. You’ll explore how containers work and develop projects within them after you’ve explored different ways to deploy and run containers. The book will also show you how to use Docker containers in production in both single-host set-ups and in clusters and deploy them using Jenkins, Kubernetes, and Spinnaker. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with monitoring, securing, and scaling Docker using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. Later, you’ll be able to deploy Docker containers to a variety of environments, including the cloud-native Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), before finally delving into Docker security concepts and best practices. By the end of the Docker book, you’ll be able to not only work in a container-driven environment confidently but also use Docker for both new and existing projects.

Section 2: Running Docker in Production

In this section, you will learn how to choose between the different alternatives for running Docker applications in production, ranging from single-host configurations to sophisticated clusters of servers in the cloud that can scale out to handle heavy loads. You will learn how to deploy systems first using Docker Compose, and how to automate building and deploying a simple setup using Jenkins. We will then explore a more sophisticated setup in Chapter 8, Deploying Docker Apps to Kubernetes through Chapter 11, Scaling and Load Testing Docker Applications, centering around the use of Kubernetes and Amazon Web Services. You will learn how to deploy applications both manually and using the Spinnaker continuous deployment system, and how to use a variety of tools to monitor applications. Finally, we will learn how to scale Docker applications using Kubernetes, using tools such as the Envoy service mesh and k6 for load testing. We will use a sample...
