Docker | Hack Session

Info about the prospective Docker Hack Session

You can find below some info about the agenda, the prerequisites and the organisers.

Agenda
In this six-part tutorial, you will,

1. Get set up and oriented, on this page.
2. Build and run your first app
3. Turn your app into a scaling service
4. Span your service across multiple machines
5. Add a visitor counter that persists data
6. Deploy your swarm to production

The application itself is very simple so that you are not too distracted by what the code is doing. After all, the value of Docker is in how it can build, ship, and run applications; it’s totally agnostic as to what your application actually does.

Prerequisites

• install Docker
• run a software image in a container
• browse for an image on Docker Hub
• have your own image and run it in a container
• get a Docker Hub account and an image repository
• create an image of your own

While we’ll define concepts along the way, it is good for you to understand what Docker is and why you would use Docker before we begin. We also need to assume you are familiar with a few concepts before we continue:

• IP Addresses and Ports
• Virtual Machines
• Editing configuration files
• Basic familiarity with the ideas of code dependencies and building
• Machine resource usage terms, like CPU percentages, RAM use in bytes, etc.
