- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book is down to earth and full of actually executable commands with output screen shots. No fluff. I have just started using Docker at work for containerizing apps for K8s, and I could use this book back and forth to see if what I am doing is correct. In fact I learnt k8s pv and pvc concepts easily from reading chapter 4 of this book 'Docker Volumes'.
Chapter 5 & 7 I did not use much because I am already on k8s and I did not go deeper into Chapter 6 because I am not a networking guy. The last chapter 'Docker and Jenkins', I am yet to read but it is not a top priority thing for me as our DevOps/CICD teams take care of that. I am a developer and all that I wanted I got from Chapters 1 to 4. Chapter 3 'Creating Docker Images' specifically is a power packed one.
I would definitely say, one can buy this book blindly, if you are really interested in hands on docker learning.
Thanks Mr.Earl Waud, Great Book!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2021Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am a software developer, I have many years of experience.
I was completely new in containers and Docker topics before reading this book. But once I read it, I started to develop all my projects with Docker. This is an excellent book, 100% recommend if you a novice docker developer.
It teaches you about docker containers, volumes, images, stack and docker swarm. Docker swarm was great and I think better than kubernetes for novice developers, because it is very easy to configure (not like kubernetes, that only is easy if you have a cloud server).
Again, 100% recommended, the concepts are well explained, the examples are very useful, and you can use it as a base to develop your own projects.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book was at exactly the level I needed. It is a quick start guide so avoids a lot of the chaff and gets straight to the examples. The examples are clear and and their purpose is well explained. The book follows a logical sequence so I could step through installation, basic commands, and some more advanced commands and features. Using this book, I had Docker installed and running with several containers in a very short period of time. I found myself referring back to the book for help when working on a real-life project.
Recommended for those with a solid Developer or VM background that want to get up to speed with Docker principles quickly.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019Format: PaperbackThis book is an invaluable resource to get up to speed with containers. I have been working with VMware for the past 10 years, but more and more I am seeing containers take hold in the provisioning of software. I knew of containers to the extend that I could download a container and use what it offered, but did not really know how to build my own let alone persist changes, mount volumes, and setup networking.
I recently had to build a custom tool to aid in a migration and rather than reach to building a dedicated VM, I opted to build it in a docker container. Not only was I able to iterate over multiple revisions of the tool quickly, but I also found that deploying into production was far easier, faster, and more secure thanks to the far smaller footprint containers offered. Without the aid of this book I am sure that I would have spent a lot more time in this endeavor and may have just opted to using a VM. I am very glad I did not :)
I have found this book to be a great resource, clearly explaining all of the aspects of docker containers that I needed to kickstart my journey into the world of Docker, and I am sure you will too. ( Two Thumbs Up !! )
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019Format: PaperbackI come mainly from an IT infrastructure background supporting a large VMware environment for 10+ years. Not so long ago I moved to a group that utilizes Docker to package up software solutions to their customers. Needless to say I needed to get up to speed with Docker to support them. I picked up the basics online and spun up basic containers but never really went further than that. I had read Earl's previous book, Mastering Chef Provisioning, and really like how the content was presented so when I found that he had a Docker book I knew that it would help me wrap my head around containers. It takes a bit to understand how container networking and using external storage all work but this book really helps. I highly recommend reading this book if you want a solid foundation on one of the most disruptive technologies since virtual machines themselves.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2018Format: PaperbackThis book is an excellent resource for tech enthusiasts who are looking to learn more about Docker. I found it to be really helful and very well written with tons of great tips, descriptions, and working examples that were really beneficial to my learning. This book will take you from beginner to pro in just a few chapters as readers will gain the knowledge of deploying docker to a variety of OS's, Docker's powerful features, and my favorite the development and automation of docker images via a CI/CD Jenkins workflow.
This book is worth the purchase and will definitely bolster your Docker knowledge and properly prepare you to containerize production level apps.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis is a bottom up book listing all commands by function. Nothing quick or to start. It should be called command reference.
Say for example you want to access the docker files from the host computer, to find the command to do that you need to read all the commands
Much better info on the web.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2019Format: PaperbackIf you are trying to come up to speed on Docker and containerization as quickly and effectively as possible, Docker Quick Start Guide is a must-have reference that you should have in your library. The author clearly depicts how you can build, package, and deploy your software as a container. He provides insight into many container related technologies with hands-on examples, allowing you to pick the right containerization approach for your software. With the skill set that you will gain from this book, you will be able to transform your traditional software to a containerized software very rapidly, effectively, and successfully for all your technology needs.

Ben WestonReviewed in the United Kingdom on April 7, 20225.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive quick start guide for getting up & running with Docker
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAt just 214 pages (including index) you wouldn't expect much from such a small book except perhaps a high level overview of the topics. However this is not the case. The book is absolutely packed with good information and doesn't waste a single page. Starting with initial setup & basic commands, you'll be shown best practice methods on how to create & manage containers using Docker, but it goes far deeper than that. Advanced concepts such as practical & easy to follow examples on third-party (remote) network drivers are explored. There is a LOT of information to take in for such a small book, so if you're looking for the maximum amount of info for the best value & smallest footprint I highly recommend this.
