Linux containers are hugely complicated and not user-friendly. Having realized the fact that several complexities are coming in the way of massively producing and fluently using containers, an open-source project got initiated with the goal of deriving a sophisticated and modular platform comprising an enabling engine for simplifying and streamlining the life cycle phases of various containers. This means that the Docker platform is built to automate the crafting, packaging, shipping, deployment, and delivery of any software application embedded inside a lightweight, extensible, and self-sufficient container. Docker is positioned as the most flexible and futuristic containerization technology in realizing highly competent and enterprise-class distributed applications. This will make deft and decisive impacts on the IT industry, as instead of large monolithic applications distributed...

Overview of this book
Docker is an open source containerization engine that offers a simple and faster way for developing and running software. Docker containers wrap software in a complete filesystem that contains everything it needs to run, enabling any application to be run anywhere – this flexibily and portabily means that you can run apps in the cloud, on virtual machines, or on dedicated servers.
This book will give you a tour of the new features of Docker and help you get started with Docker by building and deploying a simple application. It will walk you through the commands required to manage Docker images and containers. You’ll be shown how to download new images, run containers, list the containers running on the Docker host, and kill them.
You’ll learn how to leverage Docker’s volumes feature to share data between the Docker host and its containers – this data management feature is also useful for persistent data. This book also covers how to orchestrate containers using Docker compose, debug containers, and secure containers using the AppArmor and SELinux security modules.
