This guarantees isolation, consistency, and performance. These images are immutable: you can’t change them once they’re built. If an image is our blueprint, the container is an instance of it running in memory. When we’re running an image, that’s our container. That sentence alone should be rationale enough for standardized environments. NET Core app on Linux with a database, while using a reverse proxy configuration. There’s our operating system, the code itself, packages, libraries, binaries, and more.
When we talk about packaging our software, we’re not just talking about code (if only it was that simple). Fetch, build, and run a prebuilt Docker imageīefore starting this post, make sure you have the following installed:Ĭonfirm your Docker install by executing docker -v in your terminal.Last post: Publishing to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)Īrmed with this knowledge, I’ll then be writing about container orchestration using Kubernetes.Next post: Diving deep (create image from existing app, considerations).This post: Getting started (core concepts, run a pre-built image).I’ll be walking through Docker containers in three posts: While I’ve seen a lot of great posts on this topic (such as Steve Gordon’s wonderful series from 2017), I wanted to write about all I’m learning-and hopefully it can help you, too. (Like, dinner is over and people are starting to ask “where’s Dave?” as if I got in an accident on the way there.) While I’ve always known about Docker from a high level-the value it brings, how to get an image, and so on-my new job responsibilities have forced me to understand it on a tremendously deeper level.
To be clear, I am tremendously late to this party. These containers allow us to package running images that include all our code and dependencies on any environment. We can think of containers as isolated environments that allow us to run our software quickly. Thanks to software containerization-and, specifically, Docker-we can improve our workflow significantly. It takes so much of our time and impacts our ability to deliver value quickly. As a developer, do you ever think about all the time you spend … not developing? Among the work we do to get things working-I like to call it meta-work-infrastructure is the most frustrating and the biggest headache.
