  1. virtualization refers to the act of creating a virtual (rather

    than actual) version of something, including virtual computer hardware platforms, operating systems, storage devices, and computer network resources. What is Virtualization?
  2. A VM is essentially an emulation of a real computer

    that executes programs like a real computer. VMs run on top of a physical machine using a “hypervisor”. A hypervisor, in turn, runs on either a host machine or on “bare-metal”. Virtual Machines
  3. A hypervisor is a software, firmware, or hardware that VMs

    run on top of. The hypervisors themselves run on physical computers, referred to as the “host machine”. The host machine provides the VMs with resources, including RAM and CPU. These resources are divided between VMs and can be distributed as you see fit. hypervisor
  4. Type 1 hypervisor (also called a bare metal hypervisor) is

    installed directly on physical host server hardware just like an operating system. Type 1 hypervisors run on dedicated hardware. They require a management console and are used in data centers. Examples Oracle OVM for SPARC, ESXi, Hyper-V and KVM. Type 1 hypervisor
  5. hosted hypervisor, is a virtual machine manager that is installed

    as a software application on an existing operating system (OS). Examples VMware Fusion, Oracle Virtual Box, Oracle VM for x86, Solaris Zones, Parallels and VMware Workstation Type 2 hypervisor
  6. Unlike a VM which provides hardware virtualization, a container provides

    operating-system-level virtualization by abstracting the “user space”. You’ll see what I mean as we unpack the term container. Containers
  7. Docker is an open-source project based on Linux containers. It

    uses Linux Kernel features like namespaces and control groups to create containers on top of an operating system. Docker
  8. Google has been using their own container technology for years.

    Others Linux container technologies include Solaris Zones, BSD jails, and LXC, which have been around for many years. So why Docker? Before Docker
  9. 1. Ease of use: Docker has made it much easier

    for anyone—developers, systems admins,     architects and others—to take advantage of     containers in order to quickly build and test portable applications. The mantra is: “build once, run anywhere.” Why Docker?
  10. 2. Speed: Docker containers are very lightweight and fast. Since

    containers are just sandboxed environments running on the kernel, they take up fewer resources. You can create and run a Docker container in seconds, compared to VMs which might take longer because they have to boot up a full virtual operating system every time. Why Docker?
  11. 3. Docker Repository: Docker users also benefit from the increasingly

    rich ecosystem of Docker Hub, which you can think of as an “Github for Docker images.” Docker Hub has tens of thousands of public images created by the community that are readily available for use. It’s incredibly easy to search for images that meet your needs, ready to pull down and use with little-to-no modification. Why Docker?
  12. 4. Modularity and Scalability: Docker makes it easy to break

    out your application’s functionality into individual containers. This is needed in todays world of micro services Why Docker?
  13. Docker Engine Docker engine is the layer on which Docker

    runs. It’s a lightweight runtime and tooling that manages containers, images, builds, and more. It runs natively on Linux systems and is made up of: 1. A Docker Daemon that runs in the host computer. 2. A Docker Client that then communicates with the Docker Daemon to execute commands. 3. A REST API for interacting with the Docker Daemon remotely. Concept of Docker
  14. Docker Images Simply the blueprint of a docker application Docker

    Container This are real instances of an application Created from docker images Docker Daemon Build, run and distributes docker containers Docker Client Docker on our local mechine - Think of it as the UI for Docker. Docker Hub A repository for docker images ( github for docker)
  15. Dockerfile A Dockerfile is where you write the instructions to

    build a Docker image. These instructions can be: RUN apt-get y install some-package: to install a software package EXPOSE 8000: to expose a port ENV ANT_HOME /usr/local/apache-ant to pass an environment variable and so forth. Once you’ve got your Dockerfile set up, you can use the docker build command to build an image from it. Here’s an example of a Dockerfile:
  16. Docker Commands Docker run <image> • Docker start <name |

    id > • Docker stop <name | id > docker ps – list all running containers • Docker ps -a – include stopped containers • Docker rm <name | id > . docker build – build docker image • docker network inspect bridge Docker Network information
  17. Test Commands docker inspect {CID} | grep IPAddress | grep

    -v null| cut -d '"' -f 4 | head -1 Get docker container ip docker build -t reimo/static-forloop . //build docker image docker run -d --name forloop1 -p 8087:80 reimo/static- forloop //run docker image
  18. Running Docker Image docker run reimo/forloop The comend above will

    download and run reimo/forloop image from docker hub. • Flags • Docker accepts upto 4 or more flags per command Flags Value --name Container name( your choice } -d Null ( run container in the background ) -p Port ( external port to container port 8900:80 ) docker run --name forloophome -d -p 8900:80 reimo/forloop Run with flags
