Learning Windows Server Containers. Build and deploy high-quality portable apps faster

Srikanth Machiraju

Windows Server Containers are independent, isolated, manageable and portable application environments which are light weight and shippable. Decomposing your application into smaller manageable components or MicroServices helps in building scalable and distributed application environments. Windows Server Containers have a significant impact on application developers, development operations (DevOps) and infrastructure management teams. Applications can be built, shipped and deployed in a fast-paced manner on an easily manageable and updatable environment.Learning Windows Server Containers teaches you to build simple to advanced production grade container based application using Asp.Net Core, Visual Studio, Azure, Docker and PowerShell technologies. The book teaches you to build and deploy simple web applications as Windows and Hyper-V containers on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 on Azure. You will learn to build on top of Windows Container Base OS Images, integrate with existing images from Docker Hub, create custom images and publish to Hub. You will also learn to work with storage containers built using Volumes and SQL Server as container, create and configure custom networks, integrate with Redis Cache containers, configure continuous integration and deployment pipelines using VSTS and Git Repository. Further you can also learn to manage resources for a container, setting up monitoring and diagnostics, deploy composite container environments using Docker Compose on Windows and manage container clusters using Docker Swarm. The last chapter of the book focuses on building applications using Microsoft’s new and thinnest server platform – Nano Servers.

Linux. Biblia. Wydanie X

Christopher Negus

Dobrą opinię Linux zawdzięcza takim zaletom jak otwarte źródła, różnorodność dystrybucji, elastyczność i wszechstronność. Dziś większość platform przetwarzania w chmurze opiera się na systemach linuksowych. Dlatego każdy, kto chce efektywnie pracować w powstających centrach danych, powinien dobrze go poznać. Niezależnie od tego Linux wciąż świetnie się sprawdza w środowiskach sieciowych lub jako serwer WWW. Ceni się go w pracy biurowej czy jako wygodny, kompleksowy warsztat programisty. Administrowanie systemem i automatyzacja pracy są dość proste, a najnowsze technologie - w pełni dostępne. Przedstawiamy dziesiąte wydanie kultowej książki o Linuksie. Jest napisana tak, aby każdy mógł jak najszybciej rozpocząć pracę z tym systemem, zabezpieczyć go i sprawnie nim administrować. Duży nacisk położono na korzystanie ze skryptów powłoki i naukę ręcznej edycji plików konfiguracyjnych. Opisano najważniejsze dystrybucje Linuksa - skoncentrowano się na Red Hat, Fedorze i Ubuntu. Sporo uwagi poświęcono technologiom chmury w różnych środowiskach, a także konteneryzacji aplikacji. Znalazło się tu mnóstwo przykładów, ćwiczeń, wskazówek, jak również ostrzeżeń przed ewentualnymi błędami. Dzięki tej obszernej, znakomicie przygotowanej i praktycznej publikacji nawet początkujący zdobędą wiedzę i umiejętności wymagane od najlepszych profesjonalistów. W książce między innymi: historia Linuksa i jego zastosowanie w codziennej pracy w systemie biurowym powłoka, skrypty powłoki i interfejs Cockpit korzystanie z różnych serwerów Linuksa zapewnienie bezpieczeństwa w systemie Linux różne środowiska chmurowe i konfiguracja hipernadzorcy scenariusze Ansible i Kubernetes w ogromnych centrach danych Linux: poznaj i zastosuj w nowoczesnych systemach!

Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Techniques. Master practical aspects of the Linux command line and then use it as a part of the shell scripting process

Vedran Dakic, Jasmin Redzepagic

Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Techniques begins by taking you through the basics of the shell and command-line utilities. You’ll start by exploring shell commands for file, directory, service, package, and process management. Next, you’ll learn about networking - network, firewall and DNS client configuration, ssh, scp, rsync, and vsftpd, as well as some network troubleshooting tools. You’ll also focus on using the command line to find and manipulate text content, via commands such as cut, egrep, and sed. As you progress, you'll learn how to use shell scripting. You’ll understand the basics - input and output, along with various programming concepts such as loops, variables, arguments, functions, and arrays. Later, you’ll learn about shell script interaction and troubleshooting, before covering a wide range of examples of complete shell scripts, varying from network and firewall configuration, through to backup and concepts for creating live environments. This includes examples of performing scripted virtual machine installation and administration, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack provisioning and bulk user creation for testing environments.By the end of this Linux book, you’ll have gained the knowledge and confidence you need to use shell and command-line scripts.
