Assignment 7: Docker

Aim:
Install Docker and deploy container in Docker

LO1:
To understand the fundamentals of DevOps engineering and be fully
proficient with DevOps terminologies, concepts, benefits, and deployment
options to meet your business requirements.

LO5:
To understand the concept of containerization and analyze the
containerization of OS images and deployment of applications over Docker.

Theory:
Docker is a leading platform for containerizing applications. Containers are
self-contained, portable environments that house everything an app needs
to run. Docker simplifies app deployment across different settings, like
development, testing, and production. Key components and concepts
include:

- Docker Containers: Isolated instances of Docker images containing code,


runtime, and dependencies.

- Docker Engine: The core of Docker, managing containers via a server, API,
and CLI.

- Dockerfile: A text file specifying how to build a custom Docker image.

- Docker Compose: Used for defining and running multi-


container applications in a single YAML file.
- Docker Hub: A cloud-based registry for sharing and discovering Docker
images.

- Orchestration: Tools like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes aid in managing


containers in production environments, offering features like scaling and
load balancing.

Docker Architecture:

1. Docker Engine: At the heart of Docker is the Docker Engine. It's


responsible for running and managing containers. The Docker Engine
consists of three major components:

- Docker Daemon: This is a background service that manages


Docker containers. It listens for Docker API requests and takes care of
building, running, and monitoring containers.

- Docker Client: The Docker client is a command-line tool used by


users to interact with the Docker daemon. It communicates with the
daemon through the Docker API.

- Containerd: Containerd is an industry-standard core container


runtime. It handles container execution and supervision.

2. Images: Docker uses images to package applications and their


dependencies. An image is a read-only template with a set of instructions for
creating a container. Images are used to create containers, and they can be
stored in registries, such as Docker Hub.

3. Containers: Containers are instances of Docker images. They are


lightweight and run in isolated environments. Containers can be started,
stopped, moved, and deleted. They provide a consistent runtime
environment for your applications.
4. Registries: Docker registries store Docker images. The most common
registry is Docker Hub, but you can also set up your private registries.
Images can be pulled from and pushed to registries, making it easy to share
and distribute containerized applications.

Container Life Cycle:

The life cycle of a Docker container typically includes the following steps:

1. Creating an Image: You start by creating a Docker image. This image


includes your application and all its dependencies. Docker images can be
created using a Dockerfile, which is a script that specifies what should be
included in the image.

2. Running a Container: Once you have an image, you can create a


container from it. Running a container means starting an instance of the
image. You can configure various aspects of the container, such as
networking and volumes.

3. Managing Containers: You can start, stop, pause, and remove


containers as needed. Containers are designed to be disposable, so you can
create, destroy, and recreate them easily.

4. Logging and Monitoring: Docker provides tools for logging and


monitoring containerized applications. You can access container logs and
gather performance metrics.

5. Orchestration: For deploying multiple containers in a production


environment, Docker provides orchestration tools like Docker Swarm and
Kubernetes. These tools help manage the scaling, load balancing, and high
availability of containers.

Installation:
To install Docker, you can follow the official installation instructions for your
specific operating system on the Docker website
(https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/). It typically involves downloading the
Docker package and running the installer.

Deploying a Container:

To deploy a container in Docker, you need to use the `docker run` command,
specifying the image you want to run and any additional configuration
options.

Installation:
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Docker's architecture consists of the Docker Engine, images,
and containers, offering a powerful platform for containerization. The
container life cycle involves creating images, running containers, managing
them, and orchestrating in production. Installing Docker and deploying
containers simplify application development, testing, and deployment by
providing consistent, isolated, and portable environments.
