Study Notes
Docker Orchestration
- It automates the configuration, coordination, and management of services.
- It encompasses practices for managing applications across multiple Docker containers and hosts.
- The ecosystem includes tools like Docker Compose, Consul, and Docker Swarm.
Docker Compose History
- Compose V1 was released in 2014.
- Compose 1.6.0 used file format V2.
- Compose 1.10.0 used file format V3.
- Utilized command
docker-compose.
- Compose V2 was released in 2020.
- It is the latest and recommended version.
- It is intended as a drop-in replacement for Compose V1.
- Utilized command
docker compose.
Docker Compose Overview
- Defines a set of containers to boot up, with runtime properties in a YAML file.
- Each container is called a "service."
Docker Compose YAML File
- The
docker-compose.ymlfile defines services to launch as Docker containers. - It specifies runtime properties for the services, similar to using the
docker runcommand. - The
docker-compose upcommand is then executed. - Compose launches containers, configures runtime settings, and multiplexes the log output.
Alternatives to Docker Orchestration
- Consul
- Swarm
- Fleet
- Kubernetes
- Apache Mesos
- Helios
- Centurion
Conclusion
- Docker Orchestration is a tool for managing and scaling containerized applications in dynamic environments.
- Organizations can automate software development and deployment, saving time and reducing errors.
- Manages containers across multiple hosts, to scale applications and ensure high availability.
- Docker Compose simplifies the construction, running, and management of applications.
- Compose enables starting, stopping, restarting, and viewing logs in one place.
Class Assignment
- Install Docker Compose.
- Check via "About Docker Desktop" from the Docker menu if using Windows/macOS.
- For UNIX/Linux-based OS, install the Compose plugin using the provided guide.
- Review Chapter 7 of the Docker Book and complete the exercises.
- Start on page 254 and stop on page 270, until “Consul, Service Discovery and Docker”.
