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

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.

The most appealing chapters for me were about Security. Docker for Developers provides an introduction to security then goes onto describing high-level concepts over multiple chapters. Citing resources online for further understanding into specific security topics. Helping the reader understand the breadth of considerations of what goes into security with docker when deploying. Wrapping understanding of the ecosystem that exists for different software solutions used to lock down systems running docker and protect against malicious intent

The first section, chapters 5, 6 and 7 will look back on the history behind containerization. They will give you a very nice and humble introduction to Docker and container orchestration with a series of very minimalist and practical examples which lay down the foundation upon which the rest of the examples in the book will grow. I personally found them a very pleasant reading. From my experience as a professional developer working in projects built around Docker, the basic tools taught in these chapters pretty much sum up all that is needed to perform most if not all of the day-to-day tasks you may find in your own projects.Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11 are going to give you a glance over what is necessary to get a professional Kubernetes cluster up on AWS with examples built on top of the work done thus far. There is a lot to digest in that and the knowledge is passed in a much faster pace, with less context as opposed to the previous chapters of the book. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of valuable information for those who haven't been exposed before to the Kubernetes and the wider ops world. However I didn't found them to be as didactic as the material I read to that point due to the very nature of the subject which is way denser, having a lot of non-trivial concepts to grasp which are not straightforward to tinker with. They will nonetheless give you a hands on exposure to the current industry best-practices, expand your perspective over the subject and leave you in a good place where you can continue learning on your own.The remaining pages will then finally give you a complete look on what to keep in mind when it comes to security in a container-based environment. You'll enjoy the tips in this third and last section which is full of practical advice to keep you, your company and your users protected from silly mistakes and the most common threats. You will learn about the security model around Docker and how to monitor your deployments with an eye on security. Overall the book seemed pretty worthy. As a developer myself, with daily tasks not really focused on most of the topics put forth in depth here, I found the reading very interesting. It has certainly improved my understanding around the topics covered. I recommend it.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most.
