The Ultimate Docker Container Book

What Are Containers and Why Should I Use Them?

This first chapter will introduce you to the world of containers and their orchestration. This book starts from the very beginning, in that it assumes that you have limited prior knowledge of containers, and will give you a very practical introduction to the topic.

In this chapter, we will focus on the software supply chain and the friction within it. Then, we’ll present containers, which are used to reduce this friction and add enterprise-grade security on top of it. We’ll also look into how containers and the ecosystem around them are assembled. We’ll specifically point out the distinctions between the upstream Open Source Software (OSS) components, united under the code name Moby, that form the building blocks of the downstream products of Docker and other vendors.

The chapter covers the following topics:

  • What are containers?
  • Why are containers important?
  • What’s the benefit of using containers for me or for my company?
  • The Moby project
  • Docker products
  • Container architecture

After completing this chapter, you will be able to do the following:

  • Explain what containers are, using an analogy such as physical containers, in a few simple sentences to an interested layperson
  • Justify why containers are so important using an analogy such as physical containers versus traditional shipping, or apartment homes versus single-family homes, and so on, to an interested layperson
  • Name at least four upstream open source components that are used by Docker products, such as Docker Desktop
  • Draw a high-level sketch of the Docker container architecture

Let’s get started!

Description

The Ultimate Docker Container Book, 3rd edition enables you to leverage Docker containers for streamlined software development. You’ll uncover Docker fundamentals and how containers improve software supply chain efficiency and enhance security. You’ll start by learning practical skills such as setting up Docker environments, handling stateful components, running and testing code within containers, and managing Docker images. You’ll also explore how to adapt legacy applications for containerization and understand distributed application architecture. Next, you’ll delve into Docker's networking model, software-defined networks for secure applications, and Docker compose for managing multi-service applications along with tools for log analysis and metrics. You’ll further deepen your understanding of popular orchestrators like Kubernetes and Docker swarmkit, exploring their key concepts, and deployment strategies for resilient applications. In the final sections, you’ll gain insights into deploying containerized applications on major cloud platforms, including Azure, AWS, and GCE and discover techniques for production monitoring and troubleshooting. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to manage and scale containerized applications effectively.

Who is this book for?

This book is for Linux professionals, system administrators, operations engineers, DevOps engineers, software architects, and developers looking to work with Docker and Kubernetes from scratch. A basic understanding of Docker containers is recommended, but no prior knowledge of Kubernetes is required. Familiarity with scripting tools such as Bash or PowerShell will be advantageous.

What you will learn

  • Understand the benefits of using containers
  • Manage Docker containers effectively
  • Create and manage Docker images
  • Explore data volumes and environment variables
  • Master distributed application architecture
  • Deep dive into Docker networking
  • Use Docker Compose for multi-service apps
  • Deploy apps on major cloud platforms

It is an insighful read, to the point and not leaning too much to Kubernetes.

The book goes into detail about how to use Docker and Kubernetes to develop and test containerized applications and to deploy them to the cloud. It is a great addition to any developer’s library. If you want to learn how to use containers, this book is for you!

If you need a book on Docker that contains everything about Docker, this may be the resource for you. It goes through all the topics needed to learn about Docker, containers, and container orchestration, either on-premises or in cloud(s). With 600+ pages, it's a long read, but If you know some of the topics already, you may even skip some chapters. I would use it to learn Docker from scratch.
