Key benefits

Understand how to make a deployment workflow run smoothly with Docker containers
Learn Docker and DevOps concepts such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD)
Gain insights into using various Docker tools and libraries

Description

Docker is the de facto standard for containerizing apps, and with an increasing number of software projects migrating to containers, it is crucial for engineers and DevOps teams to understand how to build, deploy, and secure Docker environments effectively. Docker for Developers will help you understand Docker containers from scratch while taking you through best practices and showing you how to address security concerns. Starting with an introduction to Docker, you’ll learn how to use containers and VirtualBox for development. You’ll explore how containers work and develop projects within them after you’ve explored different ways to deploy and run containers. The book will also show you how to use Docker containers in production in both single-host set-ups and in clusters and deploy them using Jenkins, Kubernetes, and Spinnaker. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with monitoring, securing, and scaling Docker using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. Later, you’ll be able to deploy Docker containers to a variety of environments, including the cloud-native Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), before finally delving into Docker security concepts and best practices. By the end of the Docker book, you’ll be able to not only work in a container-driven environment confidently but also use Docker for both new and existing projects.

Who is this book for?

If you’re a software engineer new to containerization or a DevOps engineer responsible for deploying Docker containers in the cloud and building DevOps pipelines for container-based projects, you’ll find this book useful. This Docker containers book is also a handy reference guide for anyone working with a Docker-based DevOps ecosystem or interested in understanding the security implications and best practices for working in container-driven environments.

What you will learn

Get up to speed with creating containers and understand how they work
Package and deploy your containers to a variety of platforms
Work with containers in the cloud and on the Kubernetes platform
Deploy and then monitor the health and logs of running containers
Explore best practices for working with containers from a security perspective
Become familiar with scanning containers and using third-party security tools and libraries

I read this book over the course of a week and deployed docker containers into our repositories over a two week period following that. Then, the week after that, I gave a lunch n learn to the company, using what I had l learned from the book and experience from practice. Now we have containers for clean e2e testing, gitlab docker runners to run and scale to more runners without new VMs, they build containers for us, and it’s quickly become normal in our company. I’ll be reviewing the kuberneties sections over the new week to keep down the path. Thanks Richard. This book cuts to the chase and lives up to the title!

Very completed with practical examples, tools and use cases.

When reading articles, tutorials and even books, that is very common that at the end of the reading you struggle about how to translate that to a real production situation. Believe me, this book is different. You get to the end with a sense that you are very likely to know what are the next steps to apply what you learned to your existent or new projects. And this means a lot. The book has some great balance from history, concepts, example and practice.Although there is a lot of cont to grasp and the book is not exhaustive about the subjects, it gives you the most important information and real-world scenarios. You will be confident about the path you need to go to improve your local environment, to prepare a CI/CD pipeline and ship your product to production with a high-quality workflow. The authors are careful enough to list different solutions and approaches because there is not a single tool that solves all the problems and this book give you enough to understand which stack could fit better to your software needs.If you want to know more about Docker on your local environment, how containers relate to production, container orchestration with Docker swarm or Kubernetes, container image publishing, etc, you need this book.I highly recommend it.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the "Docker for Developers" platform and I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed. As someone who has been in the development industry for a few years, I'm always on the lookout for tools that can make my work more efficient and productive. Docker for Developers does just that.One of the standout features of Docker for Developers is the ease with which it allows you to create and manage containers. I was able to quickly spin up multiple containers, each with its own application stack, and then seamlessly switch between them. This made it much easier to test different configurations and ensure that my code was working as intended.Another great aspect of Docker for Developers is its ability to simplify the deployment process. With just a few simple commands, I was able to package my code into a container and deploy it to the cloud or on-premises environment. This saved me a ton of time and headaches compared to traditional deployment methods.One feature that I particularly appreciated was the ability to integrate with my existing development workflow. Docker for Developers works seamlessly with tools like Jenkins, Git, and Visual Studio Code, allowing me to incorporate it into my existing workflows without disrupting them.Overall, I highly recommend Docker for Developers to any developer looking to streamline their development process. With its intuitive interface, powerful container management, and seamless deployment capabilities, it's a must-have tool for any modern development team.
