Docker Certified Associate (DCA): Exam Guide

By: Francisco Javier Ramírez Urea

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.

Reviewing Interlock usage

We will now review some examples of Interlock usage.

We will need to enable Interlock in Docker Enterprise. It is disabled by default and is part of the Admin Settings section. We can change the default ports (8080 for HTTP and 8443 for secure access using HTTPS), as shown in the following screenshot:

Once enabled, Interlock's services are created, which we can verify by using the admin's UCP bundle and executing docker service ls:

$ docker service ls --filter name=ucp-interlock
ID NAME MODE REPLICAS IMAGE PORTS
onf2z2i5ttng ucp-interlock replicated 1/1 docker/ucp-interlock:3.2.5
nuq8eagch4in ucp-interlock-extension replicated 1/1 docker/ucp-interlock-extension:3.2.5
x2554tcxb7kw ucp-interlock-proxy replicated 2/2 docker/ucp-interlock-proxy:3.2.5 *:8080->80/tcp, *:8443->443/tcp

It is important to observe that, by default, Interlock-proxy will not be isolated on worker nodes if there are not enough nodes to run the required number of instances...
