Containerization is the process of distributing and deploying applications in a portable and predictable way. It accomplishes this by packaging components and their dependencies into standardized, isolated, lightweight process environments called containers. Many organizations are now interested in designing applications and services that can be easily deployed to distributed systems, allowing the system to scale easily and survive machine and application failures. Docker, a containerization platform developed to simplify and standardize deployment in various environments, was largely instrumental in spurring the adoption of this style of service design and management. A large amount of software has been created to build on this ecosystem of distributed container management.
Thanks for learning with the DigitalOcean Community. Check out our offerings for compute, storage, networking, and managed databases.
The Docker project has given many developers and administrators an easy platform with which to build and deploy scalable applications. In this series, we will be exploring how Docker and the components designed to integrate with it provide the tools needed to easily deliver highly available, distributed applications.

Nice work, thanks!
Just what I needed. Thank you.
Nice Tutorial, Thanks :)
As an experiment i created a make script to setup a docker swarm with monitoring, service discovery and log aggregation on digital ocean. https://github.com/angeldimitrov/docker-swarm-digitalocean
Breaking out application functionalities to discrete components without costing of deployment and installations is encouraging me to apply container concept for our applications. Thanks ,it is very valuable article.
