Docker Deploy Best Practices

Building docker image is the first step to containerizing your app. Most dockerized applications are made up of services running in a number of containers, and have to be well defined and managed to provide a smooth application run with 0 downtime.

In this session we are going to go over major aspects of creating a reliable dockerized application using Rancher – an open source container infrastructure and management platform – covering following topics:

• How services discover and talk to each other – Service Discovery

• Balancing traffic load to your application using Load Balancer

• Ways to expose your service to the internet

• Service health check monitoring and self healing
