Whether you’re deploying applications on-premise or in the cloud, this cookbook is for developers, operators, and IT professionals who need practical solutions for using Docker.

The recipes in this book will help developers go from zero knowledge to distributed applications packaged and deployed within a couple of chapters. IT professionals will be able to use this cookbook to solve everyday problems, as well as create, run, share, and deploy Docker images quickly. Operators will learn and understand what developers are excited about and start to adopt the tools that will change the way they work.

• Get started using Docker immediately
• Learn how to use Docker for large-scale deployments
• Become familiar with other tools in the Docker ecosystem, such as kubernetes and coreos
