The demand for professionals with Docker skills who can develop cloud-native microservices applications is rising.
Docker Deep Dive: 2024 Edition is up-to-date with all the latest trends and technologies in the Docker ecosystem, including Docker Scout, Docker Init, Docker Debug, and Wasm containers.
It provides comprehensive explanations of core concepts and offers step-by-step guidance on creating and managing containerized applications in the real world – from source code to executing in the cloud.
If you are looking for a comprehensive resource to help you master Docker and containers in the real world, this book is for you. It also gives you valuable knowledge, skills, insights, and tips to help you confidently navigate the container and cloud-native ecosystems.
Docker is here, and it’s changed the world. If you want the best jobs working with the best technologies, you need to know Docker and containers. They’re even central to Kubernetes, and a strong Docker skill set will help you learn Kubernetes. Docker and containers are also well-positioned for emerging cloud technologies such as WebAssembly and AI workloads.
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a modern binary instruction set that builds applications that are smaller, faster, more secure, and more portable than containers. You write your app in your favorite language and compile it as a Wasm binary, and it’ll run anywhere you have a Wasm runtime. However, Wasm apps have many limitations, and we’re still developing many of the standards. As a result, containers remain the dominant model for cloud-native applications. The container ecosystem is also much richer and more mature than the Wasm ecosystem. As you’ll see in the Wasm chapter, Docker and the container ecosystem are adapting to work with Wasm apps, and you should expect a future where VMs, containers, and Wasm apps run side-by-side in most clouds and applications. This book is up-to-date with the latest Wasm and container developments.
What you will learn:
- How to build apps into container images and share them
- How to deploy and manage multi-container apps with Compose and Swarm
- How to build secure, efficient, production-grade containers for multiple architectures
- How to work with Wasm containers (WebAssembly)
- All the latest Docker technologies, including Docker Desktop, Docker Debug, Docker Init, Docker Scout, and more
