Deployment with Docker

Overview of this book

Deploying Docker into production is considered to be one of the major pain points in developing large-scale infrastructures, and the documentation available online leaves a lot to be desired. With this book, you will learn everything you wanted to know to effectively scale your deployments globally and build a resilient, scalable, and containerized cloud platform for your own use. The book starts by introducing you to the containerization ecosystem with some concrete and easy-to-digest examples; after that, you will delve into examples of launching multiple instances of the same container. From there, you will cover orchestration, multi-node setups, volumes, and almost every relevant component of this new approach to deploying services. Using intertwined approaches, the book will cover battle-tested tooling, or issues likely to be encountered in real-world scenarios, in detail. You will also learn about the other supporting components required for a true PaaS deployment and discover common options to tie the whole infrastructure together. At the end of the book, you learn to build a small, but functional, PaaS (to appreciate the power of the containerized service approach) and continue to explore real-world approaches to implementing even larger global-scale services.

A quick review


Before we start, let's review the Docker and Dockerfile commands we covered previously in a single section in two lists that you can use as a reference later.

Docker commands

Here are all of the commands we covered for Docker with a few others added, which you might use if you build containers frequently:

Note

For more in-depth information about parameters required for each, or to see commands that we have not covered yet, type docker help in the Terminal or the command by itself into the Terminal. You can also visit https://docs.docker.com/ and explore the documentation if the information provided by the CLI output is not good enough, and it may contain more recent data.

docker attach - Attach the shell's input/output/error stream to the container
docker build - Build a Docker image based on a provided Dockerfile
docker cp - Copy files between container and host
docker exec - Execute a command in a running container
docker images - List image available to your installation of...
