In this video, Shawn Powers and Nathan Bank cover using Docker Compose to simplify container automation. In this recorded live webinar, watch as a CBT Nuggets trainer and DevOps team member explain using Docker Compose to make spinning up environments a breeze.

Traditionally, if you need to get an application going, you'd spin up a server with TomCat, Nginx, Redis, MySQL, and everything else you need to get an app running and install the app on top of it.

With Docker, you don’t have to mess around with each one of those. There are already images running everything you need. Your job is to put each of the images together and plug the app into that world and reuse the containers others have created.

But containers don't always work together seamlessly. Sometimes they conflict, or specific settings make running the containers separately necessary. When that happens, you might run a single container with the underlying infrastructure you need.

But then it looks a lot like spinning up a server. With Docker Compose, all the complicated stuff of tying volumes together or incorporating networks together becomes automated.
