I was pleasantly surprised by The Docker Workshop and the depth to which it covered its topic. So many books on Docker and articles online cover the basic usage and the core concepts, but fail to include much of the internal workings. The Docker Workshop covered these concepts in a very friendly way, with examples and labs to help learn them, and then dove right into the more advanced topics. I have plenty of experience with Docker and Linux containers in general, and still learned several things form the authors’ coverage of Docker networking, container storage, the plugin system and resource management, among other topics.Full disclosure, I was given a copy of the book by the publisher to read in exchange for a review, but regardless, I was impressed with the thorough coverage that was easy to read and digest, the walk throughs and the helpful lab exercises. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning Docker, as well as seasoned pros who would no doubt learn something of the more complex internals.
