In Docker for Developers, we will start with a walk-through of the basics of developing
with containers locally using Docker, and then move on to deploying production-ready,
cloud-hosted systems with AWS. If you are interested in learning about container
orchestration, deployment, monitoring, and security, then we think you will enjoy this book..
Docker for Developers is geared toward engineers and DevOps personnel who want
to learn the basics of containers and then build upon this knowledge to understand
how to use containers in production, through a set of successively more sophisticated
deployments. We will demonstrate how Docker applications can be deployed via CI/
CD pipelines and managed in a production-grade, cloud-hosted environment. A basic
understanding of containers would be helpful when tackling the book's subject matter, but
this is not essential. It is assumed that readers of this book are familiar with Linux, the use
of command-line tools, and basic software engineering concepts, such as version control
and using Git.
