Overview of this book

Docker is an open source tool used for creating, deploying, and running applications using containers. With more than 100 self-contained tutorials, this book examines common pain points and best practices for developers building distributed applications with Docker. Each recipe in this book addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best practice solution with insights into how it works, so that you can modify the code and configuration files to suit your needs. The Docker Cookbook begins by guiding you in setting up Docker in different environments and explains how to work with its containers and images. You’ll understand Docker orchestration, networking, security, and hosting platforms for effective collaboration and efficient deployment. The book also covers tips and tricks and new Docker features that support a range of other cloud offerings. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to package and deploy end-to-end distributed applications with Docker and be well-versed with best practice solutions for common development problems.

Docker for AWS

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the largest and most popular cloud platform available today. AWS provides a few different ways of running Docker workloads on their cloud. You can use Elastic Beanstalk, Elastic Container Service (ECS), or Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS). Each of these products have different capabilities, which allow you to do different things. None of these products are Docker native, and require you to learn a new set of tools and libraries in order to get your Docker application up and running.

Docker for AWS uses the same cloud-native tools that these products use, but provides a more Docker-native experience. Once Docker for AWS is set up, you can use the same Docker tools and APIs that you already know about to deploy your Docker workload to AWS.
