Docker Swarm

Native clustering and orchestration solution for Docker, allowing you to create and manage a swarm of Docker nodes as a single virtual system.

Docker System Events

Real-time stream of Docker daemon events, providing insights into container, image, volume, and network activities.

Docker Top

Command displaying the running processes of a container, similar to the Unix top command but container-specific.

Docker Volume

Persistent data storage mechanism for containers, independent of container lifecycle, enabling data persistence.

Docker Volume Driver Types

Different storage backends for Docker volumes, including local, NFS, and cloud-specific drivers.

Dockerfile

Text document containing all the commands a user could call on the command line to assemble a Docker image.

Dockerfile ARG

Instruction defining build-time variables that users can pass at build-time to the builder.

Dockerfile Best Practices

Guidelines for creating efficient, secure, and maintainable Dockerfiles, optimizing image builds and runtime performance.

Dockerfile HEALTHCHECK

Instruction telling Docker how to test a container to check its health status, improving reliability.

Dockerfile Instructions (ADD, COPY, RUN, CMD, ENTRYPOINT, etc.)

Set of commands used in Dockerfiles to build images, including ADD, COPY, RUN, CMD, and ENTRYPOINT.

Dockerfile ONBUILD

Set of commands used in Dockerfiles to build images, including ADD, COPY, RUN, CMD, and ENTRYPOINT.

Dockerfile STOPSIGNAL

Instruction setting the system call signal that will be sent to the container to exit, customizing shutdown behavior.

Dockerignore

File specifying which files and directories should be excluded when building a Docker image.

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) in Microservices

Approach to software design focusing on the core domain in containerized microservices architectures.

Dragonfly for P2P Image Distribution

P2P-based image and file distribution system to improve efficiency of image downloads in container environments.

Drain

Process of cordoning a node and evicting its pods in preparation for maintenance or decommissioning.

Dual-stack Networking

Networking configuration supporting both IPv4 and IPv6 in container environments, enabling broader connectivity options.

Dynamic Admission Control

Kubernetes feature allowing custom logic to be applied to object creation or modification requests.

Dynamic Auditing

Kubernetes feature enabling runtime configuration of audit policies without API server restart.

Dynamic Provisioning

Automatic creation of storage when persistent volume claims are made in Kubernetes, simplifying storage management.

Dynatrace OneAgent

Monitoring solution for containerized environments, providing deep visibility into application performance.

ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)

Combination of Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana for logging and monitoring containerized environments.

East-West Traffic

Network communication between containers or services within the same cluster or data center.

Edge AI/ML

Deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning models on edge devices using containers.

Edge Analytics

Processing and analyzing data at the network edge using containerized analytics applications.
