CASCON 2016 Hands-On: Build and package a highly scalable microservice application using Docker containers

Cascon Docker Lab

In this lab you will explore the fundamental concepts of Docker containers, and running multiple containers using Docker Compose. The final part of this session will be a live demo of using Docker Swarm. The sample application you will be building in this workshop is a simple microservice with its own gateway, runtime and database.

There are three parts to this lab.

Part 1

Lab 1 - Basic Docker lab, and creating a container with a web server

Part 2

Lab2 - Docker compose and building multiple containers that work together into a microservice

Part 3

Demo using Docker Swarm 1.12 to turn a group of VMs into a single virtual Docker engine.
