Understanding the key Docker concepts

Docker is a very powerful but very simple application platform. You can get started with running your existing apps in Docker in just a few days, and be ready to move to production in another few days. This book will take you through lots of examples of .NET Framework and .NET Core applications running in Docker. You'll learn how to build, ship, and run applications in Docker and move on to advanced topics such as solution design, security, administration, instrumentation, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).

To start with, you need to understand the core Docker concepts: images, registries, containers, and orchestrators – and understand how Docker actually runs.
