Why Docker?

Why Developers Care

  • Build once... run anywhere
    • A clean, safe, hygienic and portable runtime environment for your app.
    • No worries about missing dependencies, packages and other pain points during subsequent deployments.
    • Run each app in its own isolated container,  so you can run various versions of libraries and other dependencies for each app without worrying
    • Automate testing, integration, packaging…anything you can script
    • Reduce/eliminate concerns about compatibility on different platforms, either your own or your customers.
    • Cheap, zero-penalty containers to deploy services? A VM without the overhead of a VM? Instant replay and reset of image snapshots? That’s the power of Docker

Why DevOps Care

  • Configure once... run anything
    • Make the entire life-cycle more efficient, consistent, and repeatable
    • Increase the quality of code produced by developers.
    • Eliminate inconsistencies between development, test, production, and customer environments
    • Support segregation of duties
    • Significantly improves the speed and reliability of continuous deployment and continuous integration systems
    • Because the containers are so lightweight, address significant performance, costs, deployment, and portability issues normally associated with VMs

Containers vs VMs


docker workflow

  • Find a base image from registry.hub.docker.com
    •  docker pull <image name>

Docker Workflow

  • build your application from that image
  • commit the container to a new image
    •  docker commit <container id> user/image
  • push the image to the docker registry (public or private)
    •  docker push user/image


Docker Workflow

  • The image in the repository can be deployed anywhere

Docker links

  • Applications are rarely monolithic
    • App, Web, & DB
  • Create containers, expose ports, and link them
docker run -d --name docker_mysql -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_PASS="87654321" tutum/mysql 
docker run --name docker_wordpress01 --link docker_mysql:mysql -e WORDPRESS_DB_USER="admin" -e WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD="87654321" -e WORDPRESS_DB_NAME="docker_wordpress01" -p 8080:
80 -d wordpress 

Dockerfile

  • Like a Chef Cookbook but for creating Docker containers
