Summary

Docker in Action teaches listeners how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers. After starting with a clear explanation of the Docker model, you will learn how to package applications in containers, including techniques for testing and distributing applications. You will also learn how to run programs securely and how to manage shared resources. Using carefully designed examples, the book teaches you how to orchestrate containers and applications from installation to removal. Along the way, you'll discover techniques for using Docker on systems ranging from dev-and-test machines to full-scale cloud deployments.

The idea behind Docker is simple. Create a tiny virtual environment, called a container, that holds just your application and its dependencies. The Docker engine uses the host operating system to build and account for these containers. They are easy to manage and applications running inside share resources, making their footprints small.

What's inside:

  • Packaging containers for deployment
  • Installing, managing, and removing containers
  • Working with Docker images
  • Distributing with DockerHub

Listeners need only have a working knowledge of the Linux OS. No prior knowledge of Docker is assumed. Jeff Nickoloff, a software engineer, has presented Docker and its applications to hundreds of developers and administrators at Desert Code Camp, Amazon, and technology meetups.

Essential Commands Not Read Out

Great idea, but poorly executed. The narrator skips the commands which need to be run, so you are left with massive blanks. It's ridiculous to expect the listener to be reading the included handout at the same time - if I were going to do that, I wouldn't bother with the audio version, I'd read the book myself.

For a future version, the narrator needs to read any command line commands, any code samples and also describe any diagrams presented. Without these, literally the most important parts of the book are being missed out.

Good book, but audio version is not usable

That is literally what you get:

"Section two point two point one: Creating and starting container
Running the following command will download, install, and start a container running nginx. When you run this command docker will install nginx colon latest from nginx repostiory. After that one line of characters will be written to the terminal and it will look something like this. That blob of characters is..."

Audible Android app doesn't display pdf which I found later in the web app. That pdf is also not displayed by my e-reader. Without pdf in front of your eyes listening to this book does not make any sense (see sample above). Also, you still should keep pressing pause/play button every 10 seconds to take a look at the code in pdf, because the narrator does not make a pause. It's up to you to understand that when you here "like this" or "following" you should check next image in pdf.

The narrator did a good job, but the book was not adapted to the audio version at all.
BTW pdf with code and images has 120 pages. The whole book has 270 pages.
