Docker Fundamentals Jumpstart
Docker is a mechanism for low-overhead virtualization that is emerging as a key aspect of DevOps architectures. Interest in Docker—with its lightweight, portable, “build once, configure once, and run anywhere” containers—is growing. Aater Suleman presents and demonstrates best practices, pitfalls, and practical advice from real-world case studies using Docker. Aater discusses basic Docker concepts, Docker terminology, Docker commands, must-know Docker features, and real-world examples of Docker projects. He focuses on eight common use cases and explores the advantages containers bring to each one. Start here on the road to developing Docker skills and gain first-hand knowledge to help your organization streamline workflows, speed up product releases, and reduce hardware investments. Learn how to create isolated environments in a single machine without imposing a performance overhead. Discover new possibilities for optimizing developer workflows (code delivery) and creating multi-tenant applications—all while improving the quality and speed of software releases and spending less time coding.
