Mastering Docker - Third Edition

Overview of this book

Docker has been a game-changer when it comes to how modern applications are deployed and created. It has now grown into a key driver of innovation beyond system administration, with an impact on the world of web development. But how can you make sure you're keeping up with the innovations it's driving, or be sure you're using it to its full potential? Mastering Docker shows you how; this book not only demonstrates how to use Docker more effectively, but also helps you rethink and reimagine what's possible with it. You will cover concepts such as building, managing, and storing images, along with best practices to make you confident, before delving more into Docker security. You'll find everything related to extending and integrating Docker in new and innovative ways. Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes will help you take control of your containers in an efficient manner. By the end of the book, you will have a broad, yet detailed, sense of what's possible with Docker, and how seamlessly it fits in with a range of other platforms and tools.

Summary

I hope that this chapter has given you an idea about the next steps you can take in your container journey. One of the things I have found is that while it is easy to simply use these services, you get a lot more out of it by becoming a part of the large, friendly, and welcoming communities of developers and other users, who are just like you, and have sprung up around the various software and projects.

This sense of community and collaboration has been further strengthened by the formation of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. This has brought together large enterprises who, until just a few years ago, wouldn't have thought about collaborating in public with other enterprises who have been seen as their competitors on large-scale projects.
