Очень обидно - автор явно в теме, и мог бы рассказать много интересного.

Но фактически эта книга - просто реклама докера, показывающая на простеньких примерах, как его использовать.

То, что автор не пытался превратить книгу в справочник по командам - хорошо, это всегда бессмысленно, особенно учитывая как быстро последние годы развивался докер, книге просто не успеть за документацией.
Но жаль, что он не рассказал о каких-то интересных подходах с использованием, нюансах, особенностях внутреннего устройства.

Containerization is the new virtualization

Indeed, it is! Docker is a game-changer and an amazing tool we all should be taking advantage of. It completely changes the way we build and ship software.

James Turnbull did a great job at getting someone to learn Docker in a precise and concise way. It was a quick read, a great introduction full of examples and information. The downside is that most parts are already outdated (but that's my fault for waiting so much to read it).

Recommended.

This book had a lot of information. Seriously. I was going back chapters to remind myself on topics that had already been covered (that's not easy on on an eReader).

Makes me wish I had a print version of this on my desk at work.

An amazing read but I can't say that's because or writing or the power of #docker containers. Looks like a profoundly powerful tool for dev, qa, ops, and release engineering. Clean up tasks vanish as instantiation of a fully functional system, harvest of its necessary data and easy disposal are all built-in.

Orchestration of complex environments also seems fairly straight forward.

Great introduction to Docker basics and some of the surrounding ecosystem of tools.
