What is Docker?
Developers: use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine”
problems when collaborating on code with co-
workers.
Operators: use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in
isolated containers to get better compute density.
Enterprises: use Docker to build agile software delivery pipelines
to ship new features faster, more securely and with
confidence for both Linux and Windows Server
apps.
World’s leading container
platform

• “Pack” with software binaries and
dependencies
• Isolates software from each other
• Shares the OS Kernel
• Easily portable across environments
• Containers are now native in Windows
Server 2016
• Works on all major Linux distributions
What is a container?

Docker Ecosystem

@ITCAMPRO #ITCAMP17Community Conference for IT Professionals
Docker clusters - Swarm
• Multiple Docker nodes
connected together
• Form a single Docker
”virtual” endpoint
• Will run Swarm Services

@ITCAMPRO #ITCAMP17Community Conference for IT Professionals
• ContainerA  created from an  Image
• Service  runs replicas of  ContainerA
Swarm Service

10.
@ITCAMPRO #ITCAMP17Community Conference for IT Professionals
• Code push to GIT  CI system (Jenkins) starts  Unit
tests  Build binary artifact  Build, tag and push
Docker Image  Deploy to Dev Environment  Run Tests
 Done
Continuous Integration
• Example tags:
– myapp:develop-1.0.5-59 (from develop branch)
– myapp:feature-1.0.5-59 (from feature branch)
– myapp:1.0.5  corresponds to  myapp:latest

• …and a few more:
–Connectivity with software
dependencies
–Load balancers for
containers
–Logging & Monitoring
–Hardware scaling
Continuous Delivery with Docker
• A few considerations:
–Environment separation
–Sequential updates
–High availability
–Software scaling
–Security
–Data persistence

• CI system triggers CD pipeline
• New Docker Image deployed to pre-production
• Pre-production tests
• Image deployed to production
• Production tests

@ITCAMPRO #ITCAMP17Community Conference for IT Professionals
• Monitor Swarm Cluster health
– Be careful with Swarm qvorum
• Logically divide Swarm nodes with labels
• Minimum 2 replicas per service
• Use network volumes when persistence is necessary
• Build stateless apps (or use a DB service)
• Add healthchecks to containers
• Plan autoscaling parameters for Infrastructure
• Plan autoscaling parameters for Swarm Services
