Key benefits

  • Strengthen your knowledge of container fundamentals and exploit Docker networking, storage, and image management
  • Leverage Docker Swarm to deploy and scale applications in a cluster
  • Build your Docker skills with the help of sample questions and mock tests

Description

Developers have changed their deployment artifacts from application binaries to container images, and they now need to build container-based applications as containers are part of their new development workflow. This Docker book is designed to help you learn about the management and administrative tasks of the Containers as a Service (CaaS) platform. The book starts by getting you up and running with the key concepts of containers and microservices. You'll then cover different orchestration strategies and environments, along with exploring the Docker Enterprise platform. As you advance, the book will show you how to deploy secure, production-ready, container-based applications in Docker Enterprise environments. Later, you'll delve into each Docker Enterprise component and learn all about CaaS management. Throughout the book, you'll encounter important exam-specific topics, along with sample questions and detailed answers that will help you prepare effectively for the exam. By the end of this Docker containers book, you'll have learned how to efficiently deploy and manage container-based environments in production, and you will have the skills and knowledge you need to pass the DCA exam.

Who is this book for?

If you are a system administrator, a developer, a DevOps engineer, or any professional interested in enhancing your career portfolio by gaining Docker certification, this book is for you. In order to understand container networking and the use of load balancers and proxies to provide a full-featured Containers-as-a-Service environment, Linux and Windows user knowledge with some networking skills will be necessary.

What you will learn

  • Understand the key concepts of containerization and its advantages
  • Discover how to build secure images and run customized Docker containers
  • Explore orchestration with Docker Swarm and Kubernetes
  • Become well versed with networking and application publishing methods
  • Understand the Docker container runtime environment and customizations
  • Deploy services on Docker Enterprise with Universal Control Plane
  • Get to grips with effectively managing images using Docker Trusted Registry

The author does a good job of presenting the concepts and the background on containers. I'm about 10% into the book, and I'm having a good experience. The material presented is not just focused on getting you to clear the exam, even if you don't intend to take the exam, you would still benefit from the learning. So far so good.

This is a book I wish I had access to when first learning about Docker. The chapters are organized in showing how to do something in Docker followed by what's happening behind the scenes. Each chapter has practice questions to verify your own understanding. The book also features mock exam questions for studying for the real exam. It also goes into detail about Docker Swarm and Kubernetes. This book is a huge help to anyone new to Docker or experienced and studying for the DCA.

~ Kauf-Motivation ~Ich habe dieses Buch speziell für die Zertifizierung Docker Certified Associate (DCA) gekauft. Dieses Zertifikat möchte ich 2021 machen, ich habe aktuell etwas 80% des Buches durchgearbeitet. Ich habe mehrere Jahre Berufserfahrung mit Docker. Dies ist für die DCA-Prüfung und dieses Buch nicht zwingend notwenig, hilft allerdings schon sehr und ist daher zu empfehlen.~ Buchinhalt ~Das Buch gibt einen sehr guten Gesamtüberblick über Docker, die Geschichte und das Ökosystem. Es ist in logisch aufeinander aufbauende Kapitel unterteilt und hat einen guten roten Faden. Es werden sehr viele Details vermittelt, die auch beim Arbeitsalltag mit Docker sehr helfen können. Es ist aber auch keine leichte Lektüre die man "nebenbei" vor dem Schlafengehen durchliest, man muss dieses Buch schon sehr aktiv durcharbeiten und sich bestenfalls notizen zu den einzelnen Themen machen.~ Warnhinweis ~An einigen Stellen im Buch haben sich kleinere Fehler oder unklare Formulierungen eingeschlichen. Z.B. Übungsfrage 4 von Kapitel 1 hat die falsche Lösungsantwort. Mit ein wenig logischem Denken oder Recherche im Internet ist das weiter kein großes Problem, allerdings würde ich mich nicht ausschließlich auf das Buch verlassen sondern einige Dinge kritisch hinterfragen. Zudem hat ein gedrucktes Buch immer den Nachteil dass es eventuell recht schnell veraltet. Das Docker Ökosystem und auch die Prüfung entwickeln sich schnell weiter, von daher sollte man sich auch parallel im Internet informieren. Es gibt bei Github mehrer praktische Vorbereitungslisten für DCA mit entsprechendem Verweis auf die Docker Dokumentation. 2020 wurde z.B. der Kubernetes-Anteil bei der DCA-Prüfung spontan deutlich erhöht.~ Tipps & Fazit ~Das Buch eignet sich gut als Vorbereitung zur Prüfung und vermittelt viele Details über Docker und Orchestrierungs-Möglichkeiten (Swarm & Kubernetes). Speziell der Letzte Teil ist sehr praxisnah auf die Prüfung zugeschnitten.Ich kann sehr empfehlen die Vorbereitung zur Prüfung mit anderen Leuten zusammen zu machen (z.B. Arbeitskollegen), da man hier natürlich mehr Motivation hat und das Buch einfach Kapitelweise gemeinsam durchsprechen kann. Ich empfehle dennoch das DCA Study-Guide sowie andere Quellen im Internet zum Thema aufmerksam zu verfolgen, da sich in der Vergangenheit die Rahmenbedingungen der Prüfung immer mal wieder geändert haben. Davon möchte man natürlich ungern erst in der Prüfung überrascht werden. ;)Gerne aktualisiere ich diese Rezension nochmals nach absolvierter Prüfung um weitere Learnings zu teilen!_____✓ Ich gebe stets meine unbeeinflusste Meinung wieder.✓ Ich hoffe die Rezension hilft bei der Kaufentscheidung weiter.✓ Bei Feedback oder Fragen schreiben Sie mir gerne eine eine Nachricht!

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.

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
