This is the code repository for Containers for Developers Handbook, published by Packt.
A practical guide to developing and delivering applications using software containers
This book is for developers and DevOps engineers looking to learn about the implementation of containers in application development, especially DevOps engineers who deploy, monitor, and maintain container-based applications running on orchestrated platforms. In general, this book is for IT professionals who want to understand Docker container-based applications and their deployment. A basic understanding of coding and frontend-backend architectures is needed to follow the examples presented in this book.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Find out how to build microservices-based applications using containers
- Deploy your processes within containers using Docker features
- Orchestrate multi-component applications on standalone servers
- Deploy applications cluster-wide in container orchestrators
- Solve common deployment problems such as persistency or app exposure using best practices
- Review your application’s health and debug it using open-source tools
- Discover how to orchestrate CI/CD workflows using containers

Following is what you need for this book: Software containers are the new lightweight and platform-independent application artifacts used to run the processes of an app’s components on standalone or orchestrated distributed environments. This book shows you how to create, share, and run your apps within containers using best practices and security standards with the help of different labs.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-13).
