Overview of this book

Developers have changed their deployment artifacts from application binaries to container images, and they now need to build container-based applications as containers are part of their new development workflow. This Docker book is designed to help you learn about the management and administrative tasks of the Containers as a Service (CaaS) platform. The book starts by getting you up and running with the key concepts of containers and microservices. You'll then cover different orchestration strategies and environments, along with exploring the Docker Enterprise platform. As you advance, the book will show you how to deploy secure, production-ready, container-based applications in Docker Enterprise environments. Later, you'll delve into each Docker Enterprise component and learn all about CaaS management. Throughout the book, you'll encounter important exam-specific topics, along with sample questions and detailed answers that will help you prepare effectively for the exam. By the end of this Docker containers book, you'll have learned how to efficiently deploy and manage container-based environments in production, and you will have the skills and knowledge you need to pass the DCA exam.

Comparing Docker Swarm and Kubernetes side by side

In this section, we will compare the Docker Swarm and Kubernetes features side by side to get a good idea of how they solve common problems. We have discussed these concepts in both this chapter and in Chapter 8, Orchestration Using Docker Swarm. They have common approaches to many problems:

Parameters Docker Swarm Kubernetes
High-availability solution Provides high availability for core components. Provides high availability for core components.
Resilience All services run with resilience based on the state definition. All resources based on replication controllers will provide resilience (ReplicaSet, DaemonSet, Deployment, and StatefulSet) based on the state definition.
Infrastructure as code The Docker Compose file format will allow us to deploy stacks. We will use YAML to format resource files. These will allow us to deploy workloads using a declarative format.
Dynamic distribution Application components and their replicas...
