Overview of this book

Docker has been a game-changer when it comes to how modern applications are deployed and created. It has now grown into a key driver of innovation beyond system administration, with an impact on the world of web development. But how can you make sure you're keeping up with the innovations it's driving, or be sure you're using it to its full potential? Mastering Docker shows you how; this book not only demonstrates how to use Docker more effectively, but also helps you rethink and reimagine what's possible with it. You will cover concepts such as building, managing, and storing images, along with best practices to make you confident, before delving more into Docker security. You'll find everything related to extending and integrating Docker in new and innovative ways. Docker Compose, Docker Swarm, and Kubernetes will help you take control of your containers in an efficient manner. By the end of the book, you will have a broad, yet detailed, sense of what's possible with Docker, and how seamlessly it fits in with a range of other platforms and tools.

Docker Cloud

Before we start looking at other services, I thought it would be good to quickly discuss Docker Cloud as there are still a lot of references to the cloud management services that were once provided by Docker.

Docker Cloud was made up of several Docker services. These included SaaS offerings for building and hosting images, which was another one of the services offered application, node, and Docker Swarm cluster management. On May 21, 2018, all services that offered the management of remote nodes where closed down.

Docker recommended that Docker Cloud users who managed their nodes using this service should migrate those workloads to either Docker Community Edition (CE) or Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) and into the cloud of their own hardware. Docker also recommended the Azure Container Service and Google Kubernetes Engine.

So, for this reason, we will not be discussing...
