Docker takes advantage of the Docker image layers that we build over time as our application grows; however, consider the case where we want to scale out our application. This requires deploying more Docker containers to additional Docker hosts. In this case, each new Docker host will have to download all of the large image layers that we built over time. This section will show you how a large Docker application affects deployment time on new Docker hosts. First, let's build this problematic Docker application by carrying out the following steps:
- Write ...
