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.
