LEARNING PATH: Docker: Application Deployment with Docker
Are you looking forward to orchestrating and deploying scalable services with Docker? Then this Learning Path is for you.
Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
Docker is one of the world’s best software container platforms. The use of containers in Docker makes it easy to develop, deploy and execute applications. Abstraction helps developers to run applications inside the containers. Docker containers enable developers to make changes to their Docker pictures and also control the versions of the pictures. With the help of Docker, we can build a container image and use it multiple times during deployment. Docker provides a fast and robust way to deploy applications. At present it is very popular as it makes it possible to get many applications running on the same server; it also makes it very simple to package and ship programs.
Docker has been a game changer when it comes to virtualization. It provides a fast and robust way to deploy applications, making it easy to build and deploy applications that are reliable, responsive, and fast.
The highlights of this Learning Path are:
- Run multi-container Docker applications with Docker Compose
- Create services and deploy multi-container services to a swarm
- Orchestrate multiple containers into complex applications with Kubernetes
- Discover how to use Docker Swarm to manage many containers across multiple servers
- Run applications on multiple containers across multiple host networks
This Learning Path targets to teach you how to orchestrate and deploy scalable and reliable services with Docker.
Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey….
You’ll start working with images and containers. You’ll be introduced to different types of containers and their applications. This will accustom you with the image building process and you will be able to successfully run your programs within containers. You’ll learn how to use Docker Swarm to manage many containers across multiple servers. You’ll get familiarized with local and shared storage and multi-host networking. You’ll also explore the core tools such as Docker Swarm and compose in order to improve your orchestration skills. You’ll understand how to run a swarm and how to run services on the swarm.
Moving further, you’ll learn how to deploy your application that can be quickly scaled to through configuring the Docker daemon, and troubleshooting containers and images. You’ll explore use cases for containers, where each use case will highlight a particular problem and how Docker helps to solve it.
Finally, you’ll learn how to use Kubernetes orchestration system, see how to monitor your Docker cluster, and find out how to automate your application to build, test, and deploy.
By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll be confident in deploying your applications using Docker as well as the new orchestration features and will have a clear understanding of concepts, techniques, and practical methods to get it running in production systems.
