Why We Need Docker?

Problems Before Docker
An application works in developer’s laptop but not in testing or production. This is due to difference in computing
environment between Dev, Test and Prod.

laptop
There is some
problem with

Dev Prod
In Dev there can be a software that is upgraded and in
Prod the old version of software might be present

The idea behind microservices is that some types of applications become easier to build and maintain when they are
broken down into smaller, composable pieces which work together. Each component is developed separately, and the
application is then simply the sum of its constituent components.

Service
Account DB
Product DB
Cart DB
Order DB
For example imagine an online shop with separate
microservices for user-accounts, product-catalog
order-processing and shopping carts

Developing an application requires starting several of microservices in one machine. So if you are starting five of those
services you require five VMs on that machine.

How Docker Solves These Problems
You can run several microservices in the same VM by
running various Docker containers for each microservice.

What Is Docker?
• Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and
run applications by using containers.
• Docker containers are lightweight alternatives to Virtual
Machines and it uses the host OS.
• You don’t have to pre-allocate any RAM in containers.

Staging
Server
Container
Container
• Docker file builds a Docker image and that image contains all
the project's code
• You can run that image to create as many docker containers as
you want
• Then this Image can be uploaded on Docker hub, from Docker
hub any one can pull the image and build a container

Staging
Testing
• Create complex requirements for a microservice within
an easy-to-write Dockerfile.
• Push the code up to the Git Repo.
• CI server pull it down and build the exact
environment that will be used in production to
run the test suite without needing to configure
the CI server at all.
• Deploy it out to a staging environment for
testers.
• Roll exactly what you had in development,
testing, and staging into production

IT ops teams leverages Universal Control
Plane to provision Docker installed
software on hosts, and then deploy their
applications without having to do a
bunch of manual steps to set up all their
infrastructure.

Docker Registry
▪ Docker Registry is a storage component for Docker Images
▪ We can store the Images in either Public / Private repositories
▪ Docker Hub is Docker’s very own cloud repository
▪ Control where your images are being stored
▪ Integrate image storage with your in-house development workflow
Why Use Docker Registries?

Docker Images & Containers
▪ Read Only Template Used To Create Containers
▪ Built By Docker Users
▪ Stored In Docker Hub Or Your Local Registry

Docker Compose
Docker Compose makes it easier to configure and run applications made up of multiple
containers. For the example: imagine being able to define three containers—one
running a web app, another running postgres, and a third running redis—all in one
YAML file and then running those three connected containers with a single command.
