Hands-On Docker for DevOps: Build, Test, Automate CI/CD Deployments and Streamline Container Workflows

Delivering software at speed is no longer optional, it's a requirement. But how do you ensure that every build, test, and deployment runs consistently across environments without delays, bottlenecks, or hidden risks? For today's System Administrators and DevOps Engineers, containers hold the answer, and Docker is the essential tool to master.

Hands-On Docker for DevOps: Build, Test, Automate CI/CD Deployments and Streamline Container Workflows is your practical guide to embedding Docker into modern CI/CD pipelines. This book shows you how to move beyond basic container usage and truly operationalize Docker as the foundation for reliable, scalable, and secure software delivery. You'll learn not only how to build efficient images and compose multi-service environments, but also how to integrate containerized testing, automated scanning, and resilient deployment strategies that power enterprise-grade workflows.

Through clear explanations and hands-on examples, you will gain the skills to:

Build and optimize Docker images with caching, multi-stage builds, and best practices.

Integrate Docker with GitLab CI, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions for automated builds and deployments.

Run unit, integration, and security tests inside containers to catch issues early.

Manage tagging strategies, registries, and artifact lifecycles with confidence.

Implement advanced deployment models, including blue/green, canary, and rolling updates.

Monitor and secure your container infrastructure with Prometheus, Grafana, and industry-standard tools.

Scale pipelines efficiently using distributed builds, autoscaling runners, and cost-conscious strategies.

Whether you're responsible for keeping pipelines running smoothly or tasked with building a container-first delivery culture, this book provides the frameworks and practical tools to streamline your operations. The focus is always on real-world application, direct steps you can adopt immediately to enhance speed, reliability, and security.

If you're ready to stop firefighting pipeline issues and start building CI/CD systems that scale effortlessly, this book is the resource you need. Take control of your DevOps workflows today with Docker at the core.
