Book Description
With the advent of public and private clouds, enterprises have moved an increasing number of workloads to the clouds. A significant portion of IT infrastructure is now provisioned on public clouds like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine (GCE), and Microsoft Azure (Azure). In addition, companies have deployed private clouds to provide a self-service infrastructure for IT needs.
Although Docker, like any software, runs on bare-metal servers, running a Docker host in a public or private cloud (i.e., on virtual machines) and orchestrating containers started on those hosts is going to be a critical part of new IT infrastructure needs. Debating whether running containers on virtual machines makes sense or not is largely out of scope for this mini-book. There is a simple setup where you are accessing a remote Docker host in the cloud using your local Docker client. This is made possible by the remote Docker Engine API which can be setup with TLS authentication. We will see how this scenario is fully automated with the use of docker-machine.
In this book we show you how to use public clouds to create Docker hosts, and we also introduce some container-based services that have reached general availability recently: the AWS container service and the Google container engine. Both services mark a new trend in public cloud providers who need to embrace Docker as a new way to package, deploy and manage distributed applications. We can expect more services like these to come out and extend the capabilities of Docker and containers in general.
- Start Docker hosts on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), GCE, and Azure via command-line interfaces
- Learn a trick for running a cloud provider command-line interface in a Docker container
- Use Docker Machine to start hosts in EC2 and Azure
- Grant access to your Docker images through Google Container Registry
- Use Kubernetes in the Cloud via Google Container Engine
- Create a cluster and run tasks on Amazon's EC2 Container Service
