Dennis Michael SchwartzLearn how to deploy and test Linux-based Docker containers with the help of real-world use casesKey FeaturesUnderstand how to make a deployment workflow run smoothly with Docker containersLearn Docker and DevOps concepts such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD)Gain insights into using various Docker tools and librariesBook DescriptionDocker is the de facto standard for containerizing apps, and with an increasing number of software projects migrating to containers, it is crucial for engineers and DevOps teams to understand how to build, deploy, and secure Docker environments effectively. Docker for Developers will help you understand Docker containers from scratch while taking you through best practices and showing you how to address security concerns.Starting with an introduction to Docker, you'll learn how to use containers and VirtualBox for development. You'll explore how containers work and develop projects within them after you've explored different ways to deploy and run containers. The book will also show you how to use Docker containers in production in both single-host set-ups and in clusters and deploy them using Jenkins, Kubernetes, and Spinnaker. As you advance, you'll get to grips with monitoring, securing, and scaling Docker using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. Later, you'll be able to deploy Docker containers to a variety of environments, including the cloud-native Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), before finally delving into Docker security concepts and best practices.By the end of the Docker book, you'll be able to not only work in a container-driven environment confidently but also use Docker for both new and existing projects.What you will learnGet up to speed with creating containers and understand how they workPackage and deploy your containers to a variety of platformsWork with containers in the cloud and on the Kubernetes platformDeploy and then monitor the health and logs of running containersExplore best practices for working with containers from a security perspectiveBecome familiar with scanning containers and using third-party security tools and librariesWho this book is forIf you're a software engineer new to containerization or a DevOps engineer responsible for deploying Docker containers in the cloud and building DevOps pipelines for container-based projects, you'll find this book useful. This Docker containers book is also a handy reference guide for anyone working with a Docker-based DevOps ecosystem or interested in understanding the security implications and best practices for working in container-driven environments.
Beginning DevOps with Docker: Automate the deployment of your environment with the power of the Docker toolchain
by Joseph MuliAutomate the deployment of your environment with the power of the Docker toolchainKey Features Written and reviewed by expert Docker developers The book precisely covers all the essential topics such as building images and managing container swarms required in day to day use for Docker The book includes activities on the docker CLI and exercises such as writing Dockerfiles for Python which will allow you to reinforce the concepts coveredBook DescriptionDevOps with Docker outlines the power of containerization and the influence this innovation has on development teams and general operations. We also get to understand what DevOps really is, the principles involved and how the process contributes to product health, by implementing a Docker workflow. We will learn to interpret Dockerfile syntax, build images and set up containers and images. In addition, we will deploy a Docker image to the Docker Hub. Docker is an open source containerization tool, that makes it easier to streamline product delivery. It helps reduce the time taken to get from a whiteboard sketch of the business to a money-back implementation.This fast-paced book is a perfect amalgamation of theory and hands-on exercises. The book will take you through the basics of Docker and DevOps and why and how they integrate. You will then understand what containers are, and how to create and manage them. Next, we will work on the docker-compose file and CLI. Then we will move to set up a network with the docker-compose tool. Gradually you will learn how to scale a delivery pipeline and multiple deployments with Docker. Lastly, you will grasp the concept of orchestration and learn to implement the delivery of containerized applications.What you will learn Understand how to effectively design and build containers for different applications Set up an environment for testing, avoiding environment mismatch that is breaking production Set up and manage a multi-tier environment. Run, debug, and experiment with applications in a containerWho this book is forThe book is crafted for developers, system architects, junior and mid-level site reliability engineers interested in adapting a docker workflow. They are also required to have a basic knowledge of UNIX concepts such as ssh, ports and logs.
Hands-On Agile Software Development with JIRA: Design and manage software projects using the Agile methodology
by David HarnedPlan, track, and release great softwareKey Features Learn to create reports and dashboard for effective project management Implement your development strategy in JIRA. Practices to help you manage the issues in the development teamBook DescriptionAs teams scale in size, project management can get very complicated. One of the best tools to deal with this kind of problem is JIRA. This book will start by organizing your project requirements and the principles of Agile development to get you started. You will then be introduced to set up a JIRA account and the JIRA ecosystem to help you implement a dashboard for your team's work and issues. You will learn how to manage any issues and bugs that might emerge in the development stage. Going ahead, the book will help you build reports and use them to plan the releases based on the study of the reports. Towards the end, you will come across working with the gathered data and create a dashboard that helps you track the project's development.What you will learn Create your first project (and manage existing projects) in JIRA Manage your board view and backlogs in JIRA Run a Scrum Sprint project in JIRA Create reports (including topic-based reports) Forecast using versions Search for issues with JIRA Query Language (JQL) Execute bulk changes to issues Create custom filters, dashboards, and widgets Create epics, stories, bugs, and tasksWho this book is forThis book is for administrators who wants to apply the Agile approach to managing the issues, bugs, and releases in their software development projects using JIRA.
