Description

Docker is an open source software platform that helps you with creating, deploying, and running your applications using containers. This book is your ideal introduction to Docker and containerization. You will learn how to set up a Docker development environment on a Linux, Mac, or Windows workstation, and learn your way around all the commands to run and manage your Docker images and containers. You will explore the Dockerfile and learn how to build your own enterprise-grade Docker images. Then you will learn about Docker networks, Docker swarm, and Docker volumes, and how to use these features with Docker stacks in order to define, deploy, and maintain highly-scalable, fault-tolerant multi-container applications.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

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?

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.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

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.

This book is an invaluable resource to get up to speed with containers. I have been working with VMware for the past 10 years, but more and more I am seeing containers take hold in the provisioning of software. I knew of containers to the extend that I could download a container and use what it offered, but did not really know how to build my own let alone persist changes, mount volumes, and setup networking.I recently had to build a custom tool to aid in a migration and rather than reach to building a dedicated VM, I opted to build it in a docker container. Not only was I able to iterate over multiple revisions of the tool quickly, but I also found that deploying into production was far easier, faster, and more secure thanks to the far smaller footprint containers offered. Without the aid of this book I am sure that I would have spent a lot more time in this endeavor and may have just opted to using a VM. I am very glad I did not :) I have found this book to be a great resource, clearly explaining all of the aspects of docker containers that I needed to kickstart my journey into the world of Docker, and I am sure you will too. ( Two Thumbs Up !! )

I am a software developer, I have many years of experience.I was completely new in containers and Docker topics before reading this book. But once I read it, I started to develop all my projects with Docker. This is an excellent book, 100% recommend if you a novice docker developer.It teaches you about docker containers, volumes, images, stack and docker swarm. Docker swarm was great and I think better than kubernetes for novice developers, because it is very easy to configure (not like kubernetes, that only is easy if you have a cloud server).Again, 100% recommended, the concepts are well explained, the examples are very useful, and you can use it as a base to develop your own projects.

This book was at exactly the level I needed. It is a quick start guide so avoids a lot of the chaff and gets straight to the examples. The examples are clear and and their purpose is well explained. The book follows a logical sequence so I could step through installation, basic commands, and some more advanced commands and features. Using this book, I had Docker installed and running with several containers in a very short period of time. I found myself referring back to the book for help when working on a real-life project.Recommended for those with a solid Developer or VM background that want to get up to speed with Docker principles quickly.

If you are trying to come up to speed on Docker and containerization as quickly and effectively as possible, Docker Quick Start Guide is a must-have reference that you should have in your library. The author clearly depicts how you can build, package, and deploy your software as a container. He provides insight into many container related technologies with hands-on examples, allowing you to pick the right containerization approach for your software. With the skill set that you will gain from this book, you will be able to transform your traditional software to a containerized software very rapidly, effectively, and successfully for all your technology needs.
