Docker is the new sliced bread of infrastructure. Few emerging technologiescompare to how fast it swept the DevOps and infrastructure scenes. In less than twoyears, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, and nearly every cloud provider announced supportfor running Docker containers. Readers with intermediate to advanced DevOps and opsbackgrounds will likely gain the most from this book. Previous experience with both thebasics of running servers in production as well as the basics of creating and managingcontainers is highly recommended. Many books and blog posts already cover individualtopics related to installing and running Docker, but few resources exist to weavetogether the myriad and sometimes forehead-to-wall-thumping concerns of running Dockerin production. But fear not, if you enjoyed the movie Inception, you will feel right athome running containers in VMs on servers in the cloud.
