Overview

In this chapter, you will learn some of the best practices to use when working with Docker and your container images. This will enable you to monitor and manage the resources used by your container and limit their effect on your host system. You will analyze Docker's best practices and learn why it's important to only be running one service per container, ensuring that your containers are scalable and immutable and making sure that your underlying applications start in a short amount of time. This chapter will help you to enforce these best practices by linting your Dockerfiles and docker-compose.yml files before your applications and containers are running with the help of hadolint's FROM:latest command and dcvalidator.

Beginning DevOps with Docker

Beginning DevOps with Docker

Making sure that your application runs across different systems as intended is quickly becoming a standard development requirement. With Docker, you can ensure that what you build will behave the way you expect it to, regardless of where it's deployed. By guiding you through Docker from start to finish (from installation, to the Docker Registry, all the way through to working with Docker Swarms), we'll equip you with the skills you need to migrate your workflow to Docker with complete confidence.
