Description

In this module, students will be required to develop full-stack web applications using open source technologies. Students will make use of containers and a cloud services in developing and deploying their applications.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

Design and create complex web applications using modern JavaScript frameworks and open source technologies

Create a NoSQL database and implement operations to perform insert, delete and updates on the data.

Describe Container concepts and integrate them into the development and deployment process.

Evaluate and use cloud services such as Analytics to enhance an application

Teaching and Learning Strategies

A practical approach to teaching and learning will be used. Problem-based learning will be used where possible. The one hour lecture will be used to introduce core concepts. The lab practicals will be used to learn key concepts by developing web applications. Flipped learning will be employed as required. Screencasting by students of project work will be used to develop presentation skills.

Virtual Machines will be used to allow flexibility and enhance learning.

Module Assessment Strategies

100% continuous assessment. Assessment for and of learning will be carried out. Students participate in a project (70%) and have to complete lab work and a number of formative and in-class summative quizzes (30%) in weeks 3 and 5. Students will be required to peer review and provide feedback to each other on their project work.

Repeat Assessments

Repeat Project covering all learning outcomes.

Describe Container concepts and integrate them into the development and deployment process.

Examine the different containers such as Docker, why they are used and what problems they solve
Examine container repositories, how to build images and push to repositories
Investigate deployment operations such as AWS ECS
Use the role containers as part of the development and deployment process of an application
Test the application running in a container

Evaluate and use cloud services such as Analytics to enhance an application

Examine the different cloud hosting services such as AWS, Azure, GCP
Examine cloud storage options such as Firebase and AWS
Determine how Google Analytics integrates into Single Page Applications

Develop and migrate your enterprise application to the Amazon Web Services platform

About This Book

Identify and recognize cloud architecture features to design highly available, cost efficient, fault tolerant, and scalable distributed systems
Code and implement a cloud solution with the help of appropriate techniques and methods such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Elastic Beanstalk, and so on
A hands-on, example-driven guide that helps you leverage the vast powers of the AWS infrastructure

Who This Book Is For

This book is for web and Cloud computing developers with knowledge of databases, basic virtualization, and Cloud computing. Having prior understanding of architecting on AWS is recommended.

What You Will Learn

Get to grips with the AWS development platform to access, authenticate, and manage the identity of various applications
Create a scalable infrastructure using EC2, EBS, the Elastic load balancer, and auto scaling efficiently as per your web traffic requirements
Manage the whole storage life cycle of AWS using different services such as RDS, S3, and RedShift programmatically
Design and develop a web application, a batch processing system, and their required infrastructures
Understand the importance of APIs at the development phase with AWS and leverage the benefits of REST-based APIs call over AWS services
Explore troubleshooting best practices, security on AWS and disaster recovery plans
Bootstrap AWS EC2 instances with preconfiguration commands to set up the environment and use Chef for automation and deployment

In Detail

This book is a practical guide to developing, administering, and managing applications and infrastructures with AWS. With this, you'll be able to create, design, and manage an entire application life cycle on AWS by using the AWS SDKs, APIs, and the AWS Management Console.

You'll start with the basics of the AWS development platform and look into creating stable and scalable infrastructures using EC2, EBS, and Elastic Load Balancers. You'll then deep-dive into designing and developing your own web app and learn about the alarm mechanism, disaster recovery plan, and connecting AWS services through REST-based APIs. Following this, you'll get to grips with CloudFormation, auto scaling, bootstrap AWS EC2 instances, automation and deployment with Chef, and develop your knowledge of big data and Apache Hadoop on AWS Cloud.

At the end, you'll have learned about AWS billing, cost-control architecture designs, AWS Security features and troubleshooting methods, and developed AWS-centric applications based on an underlying AWS infrastructure.

Summary

Docker in Action teaches readers how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Technology

The idea behind Docker is simple. Create a tiny virtual environment, called a container, that holds just your application and its dependencies. The Docker engine uses the host operating system to build and account for these containers. They are easy to install, manage, and remove. Applications running inside containers share resources, making their footprints small.

About the Book

Docker in Action teaches readers how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers. After starting with a clear explanation of the Docker model, you will learn how to package applications in containers, including techniques for testing and distributing applications. You will also learn how to run programs securely and how to manage shared resources. Using carefully designed examples, the book teaches you how to orchestrate containers and applications from installation to removal. Along the way, you'll discover techniques for using Docker on systems ranging from dev-and-test machines to full-scale cloud deployments.

What's Inside

Packaging containers for deployment

Installing, managing, and removing containers

Working with Docker images

Distributing with DockerHub

About the Reader

Readers need only have a working knowledge of the Linux OS. No prior knowledge of Docker is assumed.

About the Author

Jeff Nickoloff, a software engineer, has presented Docker and its applications to hundreds of developers and administrators at Desert Code Camp, Amazon.com, and technology meetups.
