Learn Docker - Fundamentals of Docker 18.x: Everything you need to know about containerizing your applications and running them in production
Enhance your software deployment workflow using containers
Key FeaturesGet up-and-running with basic to advanced concepts of DockerGet acquainted with concepts such as Docker containers, Docker images, orchestrators and so on.Practical test-based approach to learning a prominent containerization toolBook DescriptionDocker containers have revolutionized the software supply chain in small and big enterprises. Never before has a new technology so rapidly penetrated the top 500 enterprises worldwide. Companies that embrace containers and containerize their traditional mission-critical applications have reported savings of at least 50% in total maintenance cost and a reduction of 90% (or more) of the time required to deploy new versions of those applications. Furthermore they are benefitting from increased security just by using containers as opposed to running applications outside containers.
This book starts from scratch, introducing you to Docker fundamentals and setting up an environment to work with it. Then we delve into concepts such as Docker containers, Docker images, Docker Compose, and so on. We will also cover the concepts of deployment, orchestration, networking, and security. Furthermore, we explain Docker functionalities on public clouds such as AWS.
By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience working with Docker containers and orchestrators such as SwarmKit and Kubernetes.
What you will learnContainerize your traditional or microservice-based applicationShare or ship your application as an immutable container imageBuild a Docker swarm and a Kubernetes cluster in the cloudRun a highly distributed application using Docker Swarm or KubernetesUpdate or rollback a distributed application with zero downtimeSecure your applications via encapsulation, networks, and secretsKnow your options when deploying your containerized app into the cloudWho This Book Is ForThis book is targeted at system administrators, operations engineers, DevOps engineers, and developers or stakeholders who are interested in getting started with Docker from scratch. No prior experience with Docker Containers is required.

production deployment is ambiguous for me.
Use case examples are crisp.

This was a good introduction to Docker and container-based applications. I don't know if there's much more to say than that.
