The introduction of the logic and step-by-step walk-through of a simple container based environment in the cloud serving multiple small web applications via a single IP address with an automated NGINX reverse proxy container. Components will include:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2
- Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (AWS AMI)
- DNS Configurations & SSL certs
- Docker
- Docker Images:
- ubuntu:xenial
- jwilder/nginx-proxy - automated reverse proxy
- wordpress:latest
An entry point into understanding foundational concepts of containerization before diving into the more advanced technologies like Kubernetes and CI/CD into orchestrated container clusters.
This talk will be based on the speaker’s latest post on it next.io:
Run Multiple Isolated Web Applications on Containers with a Single IP for Free
Engineers, architects, and technologists who are interested in a good starting point to learn about the technology that derived the need for the much talked about orchestration solutions like Kubernetes, Swarm, Marathon, Nomad, and Kontena.
