Updated to cover Docker version 1.10



Docker is quickly changing the way that organizations are deploying software at scale. But understanding how Linux containers fit into your workflow―and getting the integration details right―are not trivial tasks. With this practical guide, you’ll learn how to use Docker to package your applications with all of their dependencies, and then test, ship, scale, and support your containers in production.

Two Lead Site Reliability Engineers at New Relic share much of what they have learned from using Docker in production since shortly after its initial release. Their goal is to help you reap the benefits of this technology while avoiding the many setbacks they experienced.

  • Learn how Docker simplifies dependency management and deployment workflow for your applications
  • Start working with Docker images, containers, and command line tools
  • Use practical techniques to deploy and test Docker-based Linux containers in production
  • Debug containers by understanding their composition and internal processes
  • Deploy production containers at scale inside your data center or cloud environment
  • Explore advanced Docker topics, including deployment tools, networking, orchestration, security, and configuration

simple SW man.
4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely a great book to just get started with docker and creating containers.
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016

Just like the book it titled, its about getting docker up quickly. It was enough to get me going and know what my new team was talking about and implement a basic container. This book is not in-depth but I wouldn't expect it to be. It is written very well and it one of the very few O'reilly books I made cover to cover. The book is engaging and I have recommended it to two other coworkers for them to get up to speed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, in-depth introduction to Docker
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
"Docker: Up and Running" serves as an excellent introduction to Docker, whether you come from a systems administration, DevOps or a software development background. Although dry at times (which I blame on the subject matter, not on the writing), the book is well organized, and logically walks the reader through the essentials of Docker, starting with what it is and its history, and ending with a moderately advanced discussion of Linux kernel internals as they relate to Docker security concerns, and how to design a deployment strategy around Docker.

This was the second book I read on the topic of Docker, "The Docker Book" by James Turnbull being the first. But that book left me with a lot of questions that "Docker: Up and Running" has helped answer for me. Specifically, I felt this book provided a much-needed big-picture understanding of Docker, without neglecting important details.

The good:

* Logically organized, advancing thematically from the history of Docker, to how to install it, to how to build and manage images, to debugging, to security concerns.
* The book starts by explaining general concepts, then drills down into the details. This makes the book easy to follow, and also easy to skim over parts that may not interest you.
* As technical books go, this one is written in a relatively engaging style. It’s not quite a page-turner, but it didn’t feel like a chore to get through the material.
* The compartmental organization of the book makes it easy to use as a reference. Topics which aren’t immediately relevant to you are easy to skip over and return to later.
* I feel this book provides enough information that you can actually get started using Docker after finishing it. That is to say, it’s not just a primer that leaves you with a general impression, but leaves the nitty gritty up to you to research on your own.

The bad:

* This book looks a lot like a first edition (strange, huh?) with a lot of typographical errors.
* I feel like most of the OS-specific instructions were wasted space.
* As with any rapidly-changing technology, large portions of this book are likely to become outdated very quickly. Hopefully, new editions will be quick to market.

In conclusion, I believe this book fills an important gap in the area of Docker books. I anticipate that this will quickly become *the* de facto Docker book for quite a while.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mind the subtitle - this is a "Docker for DevOps" book
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
Be careful to understand what this book is about before you order it. The subtitle is quite important: "shipping reliable containers in production." Although this is a deep topic that no one book cannot be a definitive reference for - this is precisely what this book is about. I happen to be interested in Docker for other reasons - for instance as a sandboxing tool in support of software development.

So if you're interested in Docker from the deployment and DevOps perspective, this book seems fine. That said, I think its a rather one-sided portrayal of a powerful tool that may have other uses.

This book help clear up many notions and gets beyond the hype and pitch to some good foundation examples. There were lots of links to other useful information marked discretely as highlighted words.

This book is a good start, and made me want to learn more, especially about tooling such as docker-compose and kubernetes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and useful
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2015

I was new to Docker, and had played Dokcer a bit at my work. Though there are quite much info on Web, I wanted to have a book to get comprehensive understanding of Docker.
I was not that sure when I bough the book, as it has only 200~ pages. But after reading the book (almost every chapter and paragraph), I like the book and think this is very well written. Especially, the book gives a lot of important tips and warnings, which is great!
Highly recommend!

Just like the title says, this is a quick intro to Docker. The author does a very good job explaining the overall concepts of containers, some easy ways to get up and running, as well as an intro to the AWS ECS platform.

Unfortunately the code does not flow well online and lead to some very odd things, and the book itself has quite a few

Great book about container/Docker concepts and implementation. Also covers deployment, monitoring and "continuous deployment" possibilities. Gets deep in the weeds, but it's an easy read. That's what you want, right?

Well written primer on a fast changing technology. Perhaps the best introduction to the subject out there currently. The author does meander a little between topics. I used mind mapping software to take notes and that certainly helped connect the dots, Summaries at the end of chapters would have made this a five star review.
