Rethink whats possible with Docker become an expert in the innovative containerization tool to unlock new opportunities in the way you use and deploy softwareAbout This Book:Create highly scalable applications and services using the Linux container virtualization paradigmExtend Docker with external platforms, including Heroku and OpenStackIntegrate with some of the most innovative and exciting orchestration tools such as Kubernetes for larger and more controlled deploymentsWho This Book Is For:If you recognize Dockers importance for innovation in everything from system administration to web development, but arent sure how to use it to its full potential, this book is for you.What You Will Learn: Become fluent with the basic components of Docker Learn best practices for storing and managing Docker files Secure your containers and files with Dockers security features Learn how to use Docker machine to build new servers from scratch Find out how to set up and manage multiple environments with Docker compose Utilize Docker Swarm to orchestrate containers across different servers Integrate Docker with a wide range of cloud and configuration tools to fully realize its potentialIn Detail:Docker has been a game-changer when it comes to virtualization it has now grown to become a key driver of innovation beyond system administration, having an impact on the world of web development and more. But how can you make sure youre keeping up with the innovations that its driving? How can you be sure youre using it to its full potential? Mastering Docker shows you how it not only demonstrates how to use Docker more effectively, it also helps you rethink and reimagine whats possible with Docker.Covering best practices to make sure youre confident with and the basics, such as building, managing and storing containers, before diving deeper into Docker security, youll find everything you need to help you extend and integrate Docker in new and innovative ways. Youll learn how to take greater control over your containers using some of Dockers most sophisticated and useful tools, such as Docker compose and Docker swarm, before bringing together everything you already know and have learned to put your containers into production and monitor them for safety and performance.Beyond this, youll also explore even more advanced strategies, as you learn how to extend and integrate Docker with cloud platforms such as Heroku and OpenStack, and how tools such as Kubernetes can improve the way you manage large-scale container orchestration. With further guidance on how you can use configuration management tools such as Puppet, Chef and PowerShell, by the end of the book youll have a broad and detailed sense of exactly whats possible with Docker and how seamlessly it fits with a range of other platforms and tools.Style and approach:This book takes you through some of the most sophisticated Docker tools in a way thats accessible and practical.
