Networking is one of the core components of microservice application architecture. Faster networks allowed the evolution of distributed architectures. High availability and resilience can be provided using modern infrastructures, even on cloud or cloud-hybrid architectures. Containers work like small virtual nodes and they get virtual interfaces. We learned that network namespaces allow us to isolate processes on the same host, even if they use the same bridge interface to communicate with the real network, out of the host's network namespaces. Distributed networking on clusters is also simple because Docker Swarm manages all the internal infrastructures and processes required to allow communication between containers on different hosts. Overlay networks in Docker Swarm, distributed cluster-wide, use VXLAN to encapsulate traffic and can even be encrypted. By default, the Docker Swarm control plane's components are secured using Mutual TLS ...

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.
