Nodes − You can connect the Docker Cloud to your existing cloud providers such as Azure and AWS to spin up containers on these environments.
Cloud Repository − Provides a place where you can store your own repositories.
Continuous Integration − Connect with Github and build a continuous integration pipeline.
Application Deployment − Deploy and scale infrastructure and containers.
Continuous Deployment − Can automate deployments.

Getting started

You can go to the subsequent link to getting started with Docker Cloud − https://cloud.docker.com/

Connecting to the Cloud Provider

The primary step is to connect to an existing cloud provider. The subsequent steps will show you how to connect with an Amazon Cloud provider.

Step 1 − The primary step is to ensure that you have the right AWS keys. This can be taken from the aws console. Log into your aws account using the subsequent link − https://aws.amazon.com/console/

doc 49 2

Step 2 − Once logged in, go to the Security Credentials section. Make a note of the access keys which will be employed from Docker Hub.

doc 50 2

Step 3 − Next, you need to create a policy in aws that will allow Docker to view EC2 instances. Go to the profiles section in aws. Click the Create Policy button.

doc 52 1

Step 4 − Click on ‘Create Your Own Policy’ and give the policy name as dockercloudpolicy and the policy definition as shown below.

{ “Version”: “2012-10-17”, “Statement”: [ { “Action”: [ “ec2:*”, “iam:ListInstanceProfiles” ], “Effect”: “Allow”, “Resource”: “*” } ] }

doc 53

Next, click the Create Policy button

Step 5 − Next, you need to create a role which will be employed by Docker to spin up nodes on AWS. For this, go to the Roles section in AWS and click the Create New Role option.

doc 54

Step 6 − Give the name for the role as dockercloud-role.

doc 55

Step 7 − On the next screen, go to ‘Role for Cross Account Access’ and select “Provide access between your account and a 3rd party AWS account”.

doc 56

Step 8 − On the next screen, enter the subsequent details −

Within the Account ID field, enter the ID for the Docker Cloud service: 689684103426.
Within the External ID field, enter your Docker Cloud username.

Step 9 − Then, click the Next Step button and on the next screen, attach the policy which was created within the earlier step.

doc 58

Step 10 − Finally, on the last screen when the role is created, make sure to copy the arn role which is created.

arn:aws:iam::085363624145:role/dockercloud-role

doc 59

Step 11 − Now go back to Docker Cloud, select Cloud Providers, and click the plug symbol next to Amazon Web Services.

doc 60

Enter the arn role and click the Save button.

doc 61

Once saved, the integration with AWS would be complete.

doc 61 1

Setting Up Nodes

Once the integration with AWS is complete, the next step is to setup a node. Go to the Nodes section in Docker Cloud. Note that the setting up of nodes will automatically setup a node cluster primary.

Step 1 − Go to the Nodes section in Docker Cloud.

doc 62

Step 2 − Next, you can give the details of the nodes which will be setup in AWS.

doc 63

You can then click the Launch Node cluster which will be present at the bottom of the screen. Once the node is deployed, you will get the notification within the Node Cluster screen.

doc 64

Deploying a Service

The next step after deploying a node is to deploy a service. To do this, we need to perform the subsequent steps.

Step 1 − Go to the Services Section in Docker Cloud. Click the Create button

doc 65

Step 2 − Choose the Service which is required. In our case, let’s choose mongo.

doc 66

Step 3 − On the next screen, choose the Create & Deploy option. This will start deploying the Mongo container on your node cluster.

doc 67

Once deployed, you will be able to see the container in a running state.
