Although you're done with the get started guide, there's still a lot more to learn about containers.
|
|
|
|
Here are a few other areas to look at next.
|
|
|
|
## Container orchestration
|
|
|
|
Running containers in production is tough. You don't want to log into a machine and simply run a
|
|
`docker run` or `docker compose up`. Why not? Well, what happens if the containers die? How do you
|
|
scale across several machines? Container orchestration solves this problem. Tools like Kubernetes,
|
|
Swarm, Nomad, and ECS all help solve this problem, all in slightly different ways.
|
|
|
|
The general idea is that you have managers who receive the expected state. This state might be
|
|
"I want to run two instances of my web app and expose port 80." The managers then look at all of the
|
|
machines in the cluster and delegate work to worker nodes. The managers watch for changes (such as
|
|
a container quitting) and then work to make the actual state reflect the expected state.
|
|

|
## Cloud Native Computing Foundation projects
|
|
|
|
The CNCF is a vendor-neutral home for various open-source projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus,
|
|
Envoy, Linkerd, NATS, and more. You can view the [graduated and incubated projects here](https://www.cncf.io/projects/)
|
|
and the entire [CNCF Landscape here](https://landscape.cncf.io/). There are a lot of projects to help
|
|
solve problems around monitoring, logging, security, image registries, messaging, and more.

## Getting started video workshop
|
|
|
|
Docker recommends watching the video workshop from DockerCon 2022. Watch the entire video or use the following links to open the video at a particular section.

## Creating a container from scratch
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to see how containers are built from scratch, Liz Rice from Aqua Security has a fantastic talk in which she creates a container from scratch in Go. While the talk does not go into networking, using images for the filesystem, and other advanced topics, it gives a deep dive into how things are working.
