Docker. Praktyczne zastosowania

Karl Matthias, Sean P. Kane

Docker został zaprezentowany światu w marcu 2013 roku i praktycznie od początku wzbudza zaskakujące zainteresowanie. Narzędzie to pozwala na proste zarządzanie procesem tworzenia określonego elementu aplikacji, wdrażania go na dużą skalę w dowolnym środowisku oraz usprawniania przepływu pracy. Ma przy tym duże możliwości i łączy w sobie prostotę wdrażania aplikacji z prostotą administrowania. Jednym słowem, Docker jest niezwykle użytecznym narzędziem! Niniejsza książka jest praktycznym przewodnikiem, dzięki któremu Docker przyczyni się do sukcesu organizacji na wiele sposobów: uprości podejmowanie decyzji dotyczących architektury, ułatwi pisanie narzędzi pomocniczych, a przede wszystkim umożliwi bezproblemowe przeprowadzanie integracji kolejnych elementów aplikacji. Opisano tu, w jaki sposób za pomocą Dockera można przygotować pakiet aplikacji ze wszystkimi ich zależnościami, a następnie je testować, wdrażać, skalować oraz utrzymywać ich pracę w środowiskach produkcyjnych. W tej książce omówiono: wykorzystanie Dockera do automatyzacji i uproszczenia obsługi pakietów zasady pracy z obrazami, kontenerami i aplikacjami Dockera dołączanie do kodu aplikacji niezbędnych plików systemu operacyjnego możliwość testowania tego samego elementu aplikacji we wszystkich systemach i środowiskach oddzielenie warstwy aplikacji od warstwy sprzętowej bez poświęcania cennych zasobów zagadnienia konfiguracji sieci, koordynacji, bezpieczeństwa i zarządzania konfiguracją Dockera Docker — sposób na niezawodne zarządzanie rozwojem aplikacji!

Docker. Projektowanie i wdrażanie aplikacji

Jaroslaw Krochmalski

Piętnastego marca 2013 roku na jednej z konferencji dla projektantów aplikacji zaprezentowano światu Dockera. Choć wystąpienie to trwało zaledwie kilka minut, wzbudziło ogromne zainteresowanie. Nic dziwnego — nowe narzędzie znacząco uprościło tworzenie oprogramowania i wdrażanie go na dużą skalę w dowolnym środowisku oraz usprawniło przepływ pracy. Docker ułatwia decyzje dotyczące architektury, co przekłada się na tworzenie narzędzi pomocniczych i ich wykorzystanie w różnych aplikacjach. Jednak aby w pełni skorzystać z tych licznych zalet, trzeba zrozumieć specyficzne podejście Dockera do budowy aplikacji. Dzięki tej książce zrozumiesz, skąd się wziął lawinowy wzrost popularności Dockera. Przyjrzysz się temu znakomitemu narzędziu z punktu widzenia projektanta i dowiesz się, dlaczego dzięki niemu projektowanie, testowanie i wdrażanie aplikacji stają się szybsze i prostsze. Najpierw zapoznasz się z zagadnieniami podstawowymi, takimi jak kontenery, środowisko wykonawcze i narzędzia systemowe, aby potem skupić się na tworzeniu, uruchamianiu i publikowaniu obrazów Dockera. Znajdziesz tu również informacje o przydatnych zasobach internetowych dotyczących Dockera, a także o wartościowych narzędziach zewnętrznych, znakomicie poprawiających komfort pracy z tym narzędziem. Najważniejsze zagadnienia: wprowadzenie do Dockera i przygotowanie środowiska pracy architektura Dockera: obrazy, woluminy, kontenery proces dystrybucji oprogramowania najlepsze praktyki tworzenia plików Dockera przykłady tworzenia rzeczywistych aplikacji w Dockerze Docker: już dziś korzystaj z narzędzi jutra!
