The need of AEM Admins and developers to understand Docker - AEM with Docker

Now a days distributed deployment is becoming common and Agile DevOps highly depends on containerized deployments. It was started with Microservice s and now stretching its wings.

The advantage of using AEM with docker
AEM With Docker fastens the deployment process. Any latest PRODUCTION environment could be imported to local file path as images. Say the TEST environment is crashed by some means, we can replace/repair this with docker images. These imported images can be exported to any Docker systems and will be useful to expand instances on-demand basis.

What is docker?

Docker allows you to run applications in an isolated environment with its own CPU, memory and network stack.

Docker needs a docker file to create an image from AEM and its dependencies. This image is then deployed to a new environment where code deployments are configured. This setup ensures the new environment is up and ready in few minutes.

Is AEM Docker combination a good pair?

There are arguments that AEM is state-ful where in repositories holds the content, still a brand new environment of AEM can be made available quickly. There are also reports that Adobe is working to make AEM Compatible with Docker and AEM builds are coming as docker images.

How does it impact the AEM Admins/ developers who work with AEM?

Since docker is the new deployment trend, it is highly recommended that AEM admins/ developers need to get a good understanding on docker and containerization techniques.
