Synopsis:

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, how

services 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.
