Docker in Action

Description

Docker is impossible to ignore. This lightweight container system is easier to deploy and more flexible than traditional VMs. Built for simplicity and speed, it radically reduces your reliance on manual system administration for tasks like configuring servers, creating disposable (and portable!) development environments, and predictably rolling out applications on unknown systems. While the idea behind Docker is simple, it can have a major impact on how you develop and deploy software. Docker in Practice is a hands-on guide to over 100 specific techniques you can use to get the most out of Docker in your daily work. Following a cookbook-style Problem/Solution/Discussion format, this practical handbook gives you instantly-useful solutions for important areas like effortless server maintenance and configuration, deploying microservices, creating safe environments for experimentation, and much more. As you read, you'll graduate from Docker basics into must-have practices like integrating Docker with your Continuous Integration process, automating complex container creation with Chef, and orchestration with Kubernetes.
