Just the Docker you need to know in 22 bite-sized lessons!
No matter what role you have in IT, you're likely to touch Docker at some point. Whether you're deploying a pre-built application, creating a secure test environment, or packaging components in a microservices system, Docker provides a straightforward system for bundling all the pieces together in a safe, portable "container" you can drop wherever it's needed. In this freshly-revised bestseller, Docker expert Elton Stoneman guides through using containers for cloud migration, microservices, and handling legacy systems-all in 22 short lessons you can complete on your lunch break.
In Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches, Second Edition you'll learn everything you need to know about Docker, including how to:
Run applications in Docker containers on Linux and Windows
Package applications as Docker images and share them on registries
Model and run distributed applications with Docker Compose
Add instrumentation to containerized applications
Build and deploy apps with Docker in a CI/CD process
Docker revolutionized the way engineers build software. By bundling an application together with all its dependencies in a portable "container" that can be deployed almost anywhere, Docker makes it possible to manage applications without creating custom infrastructures. Free, open source, and battle-tested, Docker has quickly become must-know technology for developers and administrators.
