Deploying to Containers
Josh Juneau, Tarun Telang · Apress eBooks · 2022
The world of containerization has erupted, and it is difficult to navigate technology without running into the word “containerization” or “Docker,” to be specific. Docker is a technology which allows one to package a complete application environment into a small, portable container. This technology provides the ability to easily configure and customize containers to run various operating systems, virtual machines, databases, application servers, web servers, and so on, so that applications can be deployed once to the container and ported to almost any environment. With this ability, it is easy for developers to create applications that consist of multiple containers that communicate with each other, tightly integrating to produce robust and fault-tolerant applications.
