Docker Essentials: A Developer Introduction
Lab 1: Run your first container
Question 1: Containers achieve isolation because of what feature in the Linux kernel?
- Namespaces
- Memory Swap management
- SystemD init system
- Permissions mechanisms
Question 2: What is the difference between a Docker container and a Docker image?
- Nothing: these are two words for the same thing.
- An image is the blueprint for spinning up containers. An image is a TAR of a file system, and a container is a file system plus a set of processes running in isolation.
- Images are used to create the host machine that runs the Docker Engine.
- Images are used only as a backup and restore mechanism for containers.
Question 3: Control groups (cgroups) limit and monitor resources.
- True
- False
Question 4: Which statement is not true about Docker?
- Docker makes it easier to package applications and add to CI/CD pipelines.
- Docker helps you package dependencies with containers.
- Docker invented containers and Linux namespaces.
- Docker simplifies container technology to make creating and running containers easier.
Question 5: What tool makes it possible to run Docker containers on operating systems other than Linux?
- LinuxByte
- OSContainers
- Docker Swarm
- LinuxKit
Lab 2: Add CI/CD value with Docker images
Question 1 : Which file should you use to create reproducible builds for Docker images?
- docker.yml
- docker.config
- Dockerfile
- README.md
Question 2 : To rebuild and re-push images quickly, you should optimize your Dockerfile for what?
- Reproducibility: ensures your Dockerfile will create the same image every time it is built
- Documentation: helps other engineers build and push images faster
- Time to market: enables business users to get their features out faster
- The layer cache: put lines that change more frequently near the end of the file
Question 3 : You must use Docker Hub as the central registry to share the Docker images that you create.
- True
- False
Question 4 : What’s the purpose of the FROM line in a dockerfile? Select all that apply.
- It executes commands needed to set up your image for an application.
- It’s required as the first line in a Dockerfile.
- It copies a file into a directory.
- It specifies the starting image to build other image layers on top of.
Question 5 : What does this command do: $ docker system prune.
- Stops and removes containers
- Stops running containers
- Retrieves a list of running containers
- Removes containers that are already stopped
Lab 3. Orchestrate applications with Docker Swarm
Question 1 : What is the operational model used by Docker Swarm for managing a cluster?
- Declarative
- Imperative
- Closed-source
- Nonexistent
Question 2 : What effect does the routing mesh have on a Docker swarm cluster?
- Commands, such as “docker service create,” that are sent to any node on the cluster will be routed to a manager that can respond to those commands.
- Requests that are sent to a published port on any node of the swarm will automatically be routed to a node that is running a container for that service.
- Every service that is created on the cluster will schedule at least one container for every node in the cluster to ensure global availability.
- You can enable the routing mesh to use layer-7 load balancing in front of your running containers.
Question 3 : The “docker swarm init command” generates a join token. What is the purpose of that token?
- It allows you to remotely control production applications.
- It initializes a swarm.
- It makes sure that no malicious nodes join the swarm.
- It outputs nodes in a swarm.
Question 4 : When you run the following command, which of the following events does not occur?
$ docker service update –replicas=5 –detach=true nginx1
nginx1
- The state of the service is updated to 5 replicas, which is stored in the swarm’s internal storage.
- Docker Swarm recognizes that the number of replicas that is scheduled now does not match the declared state of 5.
- This command checks aggregated logs on the updated replicas.
- Docker Swarm schedules 5 more tasks (containers) in an attempt to meet the declared state for the service.
Question 5 : The more manager nodes you have, the easier it is to achieve a consensus on the state of a cluster.
- True
- False
Final Exam Answers
Question 1 : What is one advantage of isolation that is provided by containers?
- Container isolation provides a mechanism for immutable infrastructure.
- Containers running in isolation means that you don’t have to deal with conflicting dependencies that are installed on the host or other containers.
- Isolated containers make it easier to monitor applications running inside of containers.
- Each isolated container provides you with an SSH server that can be used for debugging or automation purposes.
Question 2 : What factors should you consider when you choose your FROM image?
- Size
- Security
- Source
- All of these
Question 3 : What is the best way to distribute a Dockerized application to different environments?
- Maven Nexus repository
- Docker registry
- Source control
- Any of these
Question 4 : What is a good starting point for the number of manager nodes in a cluster?
- 3
- 1
- 4
- 10
Question 5 : Running containerized applications in production can come with a variety of problems. Which of the following items is not a problem of running a containerized application in production?
- Scheduling containers across a distributed cluster
- High availability
- Scaling
- “Works on my machine” syndrome
Question 6 : What is one advantage of using containers across different environments?
- Deploying containers only once, and Docker will deploy across all environments automatically
- Avoiding environmental drift caused by maintaining multiple environments correct
- Redeploying containers
- Creating independent applications
Question 7 : You need an SSH server to get a bash shell inside a container.
- True
- False
Question 8 : What technologies are behind Docker’s image layering system?
- Linux namespaces and control groups
- Storage driver plugins
- Union file system and copy-on-write
- Docker build and push caching
Question 9 : What is the result of running the command “docker run ubuntu:15.04” 1000 times on your workstation?
- Your workstation will run 1000 Ubuntu containers and will likely handle this just fine.
- Your workstation will crash from being out of space if it’s running with 100 GB of storage or less.
- Your workstation will crash from being out of memory if it’s running with less than 4 GB of RAM.
- The developer-friendly interface of the Docker CLI will prevent you from doing something so silly.
Question 1 0: Open-source container orchestration platforms, such as Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, provide what to their users?
- A way to orchestrate different flavors of the same application in a way that maximizes reuse
- A fully hosted solution that is production-ready for deploying enterprise grade applications
- An easy-to-use GUI for operators to click and deploy applications
- A platform to help solve problems of running distributed containerized applications in production, such as high availability, scaling, fault tolerance, and scheduling
