Overview of this book

No doubt Docker Containers are the future of highly-scalable software systems and have cost and runtime efficient supporting infrastructure. But learning it might look complex as it comes with many technicalities. This is where The Docker Workshop will help you. Through this workshop, you’ll quickly learn how to work with containers and Docker with the help of practical activities.? The workshop starts with Docker containers, enabling you to understand how it works. You’ll run third party Docker images and also create your own images using Dockerfiles and multi-stage Dockerfiles. Next, you’ll create environments for Docker images, and expedite your deployment and testing process with Continuous Integration. Moving ahead, you’ll tap into interesting topics and learn how to implement production-ready environments using Docker Swarm. You’ll also apply best practices to secure Docker images and to ensure that production environments are running at maximum capacity. Towards the end, you’ll gather skills to successfully move Docker from development to testing, and then into production. While doing so, you’ll learn how to troubleshoot issues, clear up resource bottlenecks and optimize the performance of services. By the end of this workshop, you’ll be able to utilize Docker containers in real-world use cases.

Integrating Jenkins and Docker Hub

In this section, as in Figure 8.31, we will focus on the last step of our CI/CD pipeline, which is integrating Jenkins with Docker Hub. As we mentioned before, there are plenty of registries out there. We will use Docker Hub because it is free and easy to use. At your workplace, your company will probably have a private local registry. You will need to ask the operations or IT admins to create an account for you and grant you some privileges so that you are able to access the registry and push your images to it.

Figure 8.24: Integrating Jenkins and Docker Hub

In the following exercise, you will learn how to integrate Jenkins with Docker Hub and how to push the image that Jenkins built in the previous exercise.

Exercise 8.04: Integrating Jenkins and Docker Hub

In this exercise, you will integrate Jenkins with Docker Hub and push that image to your repository. First, you will install the Docker, docker-build-step, and...
