Book Description

Docker Deep Dive provides a comprehensive introduction to container technology and Docker’s essential role in modern software development. It covers installation across platforms and presents both developer and operational perspectives to build a solid foundation. Early chapters explain container basics, Docker architecture, and key ecosystem standards.
The book then explores advanced technical topics including the Docker Engine, image and container management, application containerization, and multi-container apps with Docker Compose. It guides readers through deploying and managing Docker Swarm clusters and introduces emerging areas like WebAssembly containers and AI workloads with Docker Model Runner.
Extensive coverage of networking, persistent storage, and security equips readers with enterprise-grade skills for deploying and maintaining containerized applications. The practical approach ensures confidence in implementing Docker solutions for development and production environments.
This newly updated edition includes a brand-new chapter on Docker Model Runner with a full AI LLM project, updates to BuildKit, buildx, Docker Build Cloud, debugging tools, WebAssembly content, and a streamlined Docker Swarm chapter.
