Docker: Intermediate

Image
  Docker is an open-source containerization platform that simplifies the process of building, shipping, and running applications in containers. It offers several advantages over traditional virtualization technologies, including lightweight, portability, isolation, and security. In this blog, we'll explore some of the intermediate concepts of Docker, including networking, volumes, and orchestration. Networking in Docker Docker provides several networking options for containers, including bridge networks, overlay networks, and host networks. Bridge networks are the default network mode in Docker and provide a private network for containers running on the same host. Overlay networks allow containers to communicate across multiple hosts, while host networks allow containers to use the host's networking stack. In addition to these network modes, Docker also provides support for user-defined networks, which allow users to create their own custom networks with specific settings, such...

What is Kubernetes

Image
  What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates deployment, scaling and management of containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google but now maintained by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation). Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for managing containers at scale for many organizations including Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud. Benefits of Kubernetes Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containers. It offers a unified approach to container management, with features and flexibility that streamline application deployment processes. Kubernetes was built with scale in mind, so it can be used to manage tens of thousands of nodes across multiple data centers. It also provides support for running stateless applications like web servers, or stateful applications like databases that need persistent storage on disk or flash memory (SSDs).
