Hands-On Kubernetes and Docker for Distributed Applications

If you have a mission critical application that needs to be up and running 24/7 and each outage would cost you a lot of money and reputation then it is important that you have the right tools and processes in place to handle this requirement. Docker allow you to package the many application services that are part of your distributed application into self contained standard packages called containers. With the tool docker-compose developers can then run, scale, test and debug the application, simulating a production like environment on their development workstations. Finally Kubernetes gives you the right tools and processes to deploy, orchestrate, monitor and upgrade the application on any platform on premise or in the cloud.
