Chapter 1: Docker Overview
Welcome to Mastering Docker, Fourth Edition! This first chapter will cover the Docker basics that you should already have a pretty good handle on. But if you don't already have the required knowledge at this point, this chapter will help you get up to speed, so that subsequent chapters don't feel as heavy.
By the end of the book, you will be a Docker master able to implement Docker in your environments, building and supporting applications on top of them.
In this chapter, we're going to review the following:
- Understanding Docker
- The differences between dedicated hosts, virtual machines, and Docker installers/installation
- The Docker command
- The Docker and container ecosystem
