After a 2015 under the spotlight, which consolidated its position, Docker has become the de facto solution to get those monoliths that were split into micro services served through containers. Docker per se did not really create something completely new and revolutionary, since containers have been there since ages (Solaris Zones anyone?). But it certainly did make the whole thing easy to use for us mortals. The impact Docker had on the IT world caught the interest of giants, such as and Google, as well as that of a horde of small start-ups. This, coupled with the code being freely accessible on GitHub, resulted in a lot of new versions being released with new, juicy features; and it also resulted in lots of conferences, blogs and, luckily for us, books. In the last 12 months, indeed, the amount of titles dedicated to that blue whale significantly increased, and we now have quite a good selection of titles to get started, as well as to learn advanced topics. Using Docker belongs to the latter category. It targets experienced professionals interested in deploying and orchestrating infrastructures through Docker.Released at the end of 2015, and covering v1.8, using Docker, which spans almost 400 pages, is divided into three main parts: the basics, (continuous) deployment and orchestration, and, last but not least, a series of chapter covering miscellaneous topics, among which that very promising dedicated to service discovery.As mentioned above, Using Docker is a title that targets experts. Despite this, the first chapters cover the very basics: the architecture and a quick listing of the commands to interact with the daemon. Before getting a little deeper into these chapters, let's say that, overall, this first part is by far the worst of the whole book. Why?
