Microservices are one of the most important software architecture trends, but it’s one thing to define an architecture and quite another to implement it. 

This course focuses on the nitty-gritty details of real-world implementation. You’ll learn recipes for tech stacks that can be used to implement microservices, as well as the pros and cons of each. 

You’ll start by exploring some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, you’ll learn about the different technologies used to implement it. The technologies include: Frontend Integration with Edge Side Includes (ESI), asynchronous microservices with Kafka and REST feeds, synchronous microservices with the Netflix stack and Consul, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry. Each technology you learn about is described and then demonstrated with real code. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be a microservice pro. Whether you’re a software engineer or an engineering manager, this course will prove useful throughout your career.

Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation

# Starting off
**Docker Machine** is a tool that can install Docker hosts. From a technical point of view, the installation is easy to do. Docker Machine loads an ISO CD image with boot2docker from the Internet.


**boot2docker** is a Linux distribution and provides an easy way to run Docker containers. After that, Docker Machine starts a virtual machine with this boot2docker image.

Particularly convenient in the Docker machine is the fact that **using Docker containers on external Docker hosts is just as easy as using
local Docker containers**. The Docker command-line tools only need to be configured to use the external Docker host. Afterward, the use of the Docker host is transparent.


# Overview

The figure below shows an overview of Docker Machine. Docker Machine installs a virtual machine on which Docker is installed. Docker and other tools, such as Docker Compose, can then use this virtual machine as if it were the local computer.


In this lesson, we'll look at how to install Docker and some basic commands.
