Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins

What is Docker Compose?

Docker Compose is a tool for defining, running, and managing multi-container Docker applications. Services are defined in a configuration file (a YAML format) and can be created and run all together with a single command.

Docker Compose orchestrates containers using standard Docker mechanisms and provides a convenient way to specify the entire environment.

Docker Compose comes with a lot of features, the most interesting are:

• Building a set of services
• Launching a set of services together
• Managing the state of individual services
• Preserving volume data between runs
• Scaling services up and down
• Showing logs of individual services
• Caching configuration and recreating changed containers between runs
