This is the second in a two part blog about Scaling with Docker. In this part, we’ll take what we learned in Part 1 and use it to create a scalable and resilient service with Docker. While the previous part took a more conceptual route, this part will focus more on practical applications. At each stage we’ll update a set of scripts to automate building and deploying, and go through a few tests to get familiar with the results.
Getting started with Docker, from a Scaling Perspective
Brandon Okert
This is the first in a two part post about Scaling with Docker. In Part 1, we’ll focus on getting started with Docker from a scaling perspective. For the most part this will be an intro to Docker, so if you’re already experienced using mutli-container hosts, docker networks, volume containers, monitoring tools, and management scripts, feel free to skim this part. In Part 2, we’ll use the fundamentals from Part 1 to organize scalable multi-host systems, then show where to start to take that to very large scale applications.
