This is a book about Docker, no prior knowledge required. In fact, the motto of the book is: Zero to Docker in a single book

If you're involved in the development and operations of cloud-native microservices apps and need to learn Docker, or if you want to be involved in that stuff, this book is for you.

Why should I read this book or care about Docker? Docker is here and there's no point hiding. If you want the best jobs working on the best technologies, you need to know Docker and containers. Docker and containers are central to Kubernetes, and knowing how they work will help you learn Kubernetes. They're also positioned well for emerging cloud technologies such as WebAssembly on the server.

What if I'm not a developer? If you think Docker is just for developers, prepare to have your world turned upside-down. Most applications, even the funky cloud-native microservices ones, need high-performance production-grade infrastructure to run on. If you think traditional developers are going to take care of that, think again. To cut a long story short, if you want to thrive in the modern cloud-first world, you need to know Docker. But don't stress, this book will give you all the skills you need.

Docker Deep Dive is divided into two sections:

1. The big picture stuff covers things like:

• What is Docker?
• Why do we have containers?
• What does jargon like "cloud-native" and "microservices" mean?

2. The technical stuff is everything you need to start working with Docker:

• images
• containers
• orchestration
• TLS
• image signing
• high-availability
• backups
