Docker in Practice, Second Edition

Part 5. Docker in production

At last we’re ready to contemplate running Docker in production. In part 5 we’ll address the key operational considerations when running Docker on live environments.

Security is the focus of chapter 14. Through practical techniques you’ll get a real understanding of the security challenges Docker brings and how you might want to address them.

Backups, logging, and resource management are considered in chapter 15, where we’ll show you how these traditional sysadmin tasks can be managed within a Docker context.

Finally, in chapter 16 we’ll look at what you can do when things go wrong, covering some common areas where Docker can get into trouble, as well as how you can debug containers in production.
