Docker Containers: Build and Deploy with Kubernetes, Flannel, Cockpit, and Atomic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780134136561)

The Practical Guide to Running Docker on Linux Systems or Cloud Environments

Whether on your laptop or a remote cloud, Docker can transform how you create, test, deploy, and manage your most critical applications. In Doc ker Containers, Christopher Negus helps you master Docker containerization from the ground up.

You'll start out running a few Docker container images in Ubuntu, Fedora, RHEL, CoreOS, or Project Atomic. By the time you've finished, you'll be deploying enterprise-quality, multi-container Kubernetes setups in modern Linux and cloud environments.

Writing for system administrators, software developers, and technology enthusiasts, Negus touches on every aspect of working with Docker: setting up containerized applications, working with both individual and multiple containers, running containers in cloud environments, and developing containers.

Teaching through realistic examples of desktop applications, system services, and games, Negus guides you through building and deploying your own Dockerized applications. As you build your expertise, you'll also learn indispensable Docker best practices for building and integrating containers, managing Docker on a day-to-day basis, and much more:

- Understanding what Docker is and what you can do with it
- Installing Docker on standard Linux or specialized container operating systems such as Atomic Host and CoreOS
