CoreOS in Action : Running Applications on Container Linux (Edition 1) (Paperback)
Key item features
CoreOS in Action is a clear tutorial for deploying container-based systems on CoreOS Container Linux.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
Traditional Linux server distributions include every component required for anything you might be hosting, most of which you don't need if you've containerized your apps and services. CoreOS Container Linux is a bare-bones distro with only the essential bits needed to run containers like Docker. Container Linux is a fast, secure base layer for any container-centric distributed application, including microservices. And say goodbye to patch scheduling; when Container Linux needs an update, you just hot-swap the whole OS.
About the Book
CoreOS in Action is a clear tutorial for deploying container-based systems on CoreOS Container Linux. Inside, you'll follow along with examples that teach you to set up CoreOS on both private and cloud systems, and to practice common sense monitoring and upgrade techniques with real code. You'll also explore important container-aware application designs, including microservices, web, and Big Data examples with real-world use cases to put your learning into perspective.

Product details
DESCRIPTION
To be competitive, an organization needs to reach modern standards of
scalability and high availability. While Linux is an option, it's painful
to deal with the frequent operating system updates and complex
configuration management. Docker, a popular container system, can
reduce these manual system administration tasks. While plenty of
Linux distributions support Docker, they do not handle large scale
production. This is where CoreOS can help. CoreOS is an operating
system designed from the ground up to facilitate container use at any
scale.
CoreOS in Action begins by introducing the core components, howservices run in CoreOS, and the big picture of how the parts fits
together. Next, readers learn how to fire up their own CoreOS cluster.
Readers learn how to configure their local environment, the basics of
CoreOS system administration, and follow an application deployment
example. It covers how to take advantage of CoreOS's high availability
and fault tolerance as well as how to plan application architecture. The
book also covers operational planning for CoreOS, deployment
options, and how to deal with mass storage. Readers will discover endto-
end deployment of CoreOS in Amazon Web Services, and learn
from real-world examples of application stacks.
KEY FEATURES- User friendly book
- Offers solid and practical information
- Plenty of real-world examples
- Fully explains how and why CoreOS operates
AUDIENCE
This book is for operations professionals, site reliability engineers, systems
architects, or anyone who wants to learn to deploy CoreOS.
