Modern Docker: Containers in Today's On-Prem, Public, Private, and Hybrid Cloud Environment

Docker has changed the way modern organizations build, deploy, and operate applications. But learning to run a container is only the beginning. Modern Docker takes you from your first Docker container to the practical engineering challenges of running containerized applications in on-premises data centers, private clouds, public clouds, and hybrid environments. Designed for developers, system administrators, Site Reliability Engineers, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, and infrastructure professionals, this book emphasizes both hands-on Docker skills and the operational thinking required to run containers reliably. You will learn how to: - Install and configure Docker on Windows, Linux, and macOS- Build production-quality container images with Dockerfiles- Manage images, containers, networks, and persistent storage- Build multi-container applications with Docker Compose- Configure health checks, restart policies, logging, and resource limits- Monitor container CPU, memory, network, and storage consumption- Apply practical Docker security and image-security techniques- Work with private and public container registries- Build container images as part of CI/CD pipelines- Automate Docker environments with Python, Terraform, and Ansible- Understand how Docker-built applications move into Kubernetes- Design container environments for on-premises, public-cloud, private-cloud, and hybrid-cloud infrastructure- Troubleshoot containers using an SRE-oriented methodology >Along the way, you will learn an essential lesson of modern infrastructure engineering: Running a container is easy. Running containers reliably is an engineering discipline. Whether you are beginning your container journey or adding Docker to an existing SRE, DevOps, platform-engineering, or cloud-infrastructure skill set, Modern Docker provides a practical foundation for building and operating containerized applications in the real world.
