Synopsis
Docker is quickly changing the way that organizations are deploying software at scale. But understanding how Linux containers fit into your workflow--and getting the integration details right--are not trivial tasks. With the second edition of this practical guide, you'll learn how to use Docker to package your applications with all of their dependencies, and then test, ship, scale, and support your containers in production.
This updated edition includes significant changes to the explanations and examples so that they reflect the massive changes that have occurred in this technology over the past three years. Two Lead Site Reliability Engineers at New Relic share much of what they have learned from using Docker in production since shortly after its initial release. Their goal is to help you reap the benefits of this technology while avoiding the many setbacks they experienced.
Updates to this edition include:
- A full chapter on Docker Compose
- Deeper coverage of Docker Swarm
- Basic coverage of Kubernetes and Mesos
- Advanced topics around building Docker images
- Directions on setting up a private Docker Registry
