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.
