Running Docker Containers
Software containers are the new standard application artifacts for modern platforms. In the previous chapters, we learned to create software container images and share them with other developers or services. In this chapter, we will learn how to effectively work with containers. We will understand the main Docker containers’ objects and how to manage them using the appropriate command-line actions and options. Understanding the container network model and how to manage persistent data is key for working with containers. We will also cover the concepts for managing both. At the end of this chapter, we will review some very important maintenance tasks you should know about so that you can manage your environment.
