The Docker <em style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">client</em> talks to the Docker <em style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">daemon</em>, which does the heavy lifting of building, running, and distributing your Docker Containers.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">2. Docker Hub</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just like github, where you can put your application source code for version control in private or public repository, Docker Hub also provides registry capabilities for public and private content. It helps the developers to collaborate effortlessly with the broader Docker community or within your team on key content, or automate your application building workflows.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">3. Docker Trusted Registry</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Docker Registry holds Docker Images. Trusted Registries are primarily built with enterprises in mind. Docker Trusted Registry allows organizations to store and manage your Docker images on-premise or in their virtual private cloud to support security or regulatory compliance requirements in keeping data. It can be easily integrated to the organization’s preferred storage and authenticate services like Active Directory / LDAP services. It can also be integrated with software development workflows like Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD).</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The open source implementation of Docker Trusted Registry is Docker Registry.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">4. Docker Kitematic</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kitematic is a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) for installing and configuring of all the necessary components to run Docker on your laptop. With Kitematic, you can switch between GUI and CLI to run and manage your containers.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">5. Docker Toolbox</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Docker Toolbox is an installer to quickly and easily install and setup a Docker environment on your computer. It is Available for both Windows and Mac, the Toolbox installs Docker Client, Machine, Compose (Mac only), Kitematic and VirtualBox. You think of it as an alternative to boot2docker tool. Docker toolbox is compatible with Mac OS X 10.8+ and Windows 7+.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">6. Docker Machine</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Fairly new to Docker ecosystem, Docker Machine automates the Docker installation for you. It can set up Docker on your computer, on cloud providers, and inside your data center. Docker Machine provisions the hosts, installs Docker Engine on them, and then configures the Docker client to talk to the Docker Engines.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">7. Docker Swarm</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also new to Docker ecosystem, Docker Swarm provides native clustering capabilities to turn a group of Docker engines into a single, virtual Docker Engine. With these pooled resources, you can scale out your application as if it were running on a single, huge computer.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">8. Docker Compose</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Docker is always used to run a single isolated service and at a time you might be running multiple linked containers for your entire application stack. Docker Compose allows you to define your multi-container application with all of its dependencies in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command. Your application’s structure and configuration are held in a single place, which makes spinning up applications simple and repeatable everywhere.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">9. Docker Image</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Docker image is a read-only template. For example, an image could contain an Ubuntu operating system with Apache and your web application installed. Images are used to create Docker containers. Docker provides a simple way to build new images or update existing images, or you can download Docker images that other people have already created.</span></div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -0.7px; line-height: 1.3em; margin: 0px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">10. Docker Container</span></h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A running instance of Docker Image is called Docker Container. You can think of it as Classes and Instances where Docker Image is Class and Container is its running Instance. Each container is an isolated and secure application platform.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That’s all about Docker Ecosystem and its various terminologies. In the next article, we will start building our first “Hello World” Docker Containers.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Must Read: <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://sprtechuk.blogspot.com/2015/09/getting-started-with-docker-intro-to.html" style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-timing-function: ease; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Getting Started With Docker – Intro to Containers World (Part -1)</a></span></span></div> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></em></span><br /> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you have any questions or suggestions please write it down in the comments.</span></div> </div>

It is being constructed by Masdar, which is a subservient to Mubadala Development Company. The city is being designed by British architectural firm Foster and Partners. The project began its footsteps in 2006, with a goal to complete the first phase by 2009, but got delayed until 2015 due to global financial crisis.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The city is planned with a proposed budget of around US$ 20 million. It is designed to house around 50,000 people and 1500 business centres in 6 km. sq. of area, and is located near the metropolitan district of Abu Dhabi. The architects have designed the city, keeping in mind, the comfort and ease of pedestrians and cyclists. The city’s Wayfinding system, in laymen terms it can be understood as, how the flow of commuters progresses in a city, is developed by End Point and City ID.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also read: <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">Google’s Hot New Investment: SolarCity</span></span></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Masdar’s developers have done a wonderful act of engineering, keeping the city cool even in the desert area. They’ve built a 148ft high wind tower, which sucks cool air from the top and releases it into the streets of the city, thus, maintaining the temperature at around 15 to 20 °C even in the hot deserts of Abu Dhabi. The city is made slightly above the ground in order to keep the temperature low. Also, the buildings are made very close to each other decreasing the amount of sunlight entering the streets.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Masdar City has terracotta walls around it, that isolate the city from hot winds and sand of the surrounding dessert.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Commuting around the City:</span></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Masdar City’s main commuting will be facilitated by Public Rapid Transit (PRT) systems, as there was no room for personal vehicles in the initial design. However, due to high costs of deploying underground PRTs, the revised plan has accumulated the need for personal vehicles. The mass transit inside the city will be carried out by electric and clean-energy vehicles, keeping in mind, the Zero-Carbon motto of Masdar City.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Powering it up:</span></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Masdar City is fully dependent on solar and other renewable energy resources for its energy needs. For that purpose, it has a 54-acre field with 87,777 solar panels currently installed in addition to the rooftop solar panels installed all around the city. Another amazing thing, the city will have no electric switches or water taps, motion sensors will be there to do the task for you, thus, saving around 50% power and resources as assumed by the city planners.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The lead architect, Gerard Evenden said, “When we started this project, nobody had really looked at doing projects of this scale. Then you realise it’s much more efficient to build your solar field on the ground in the middle of the desert. You can send a man to brush them off every day, rather than having to access everyone’s buildings individually, and you can make sure that they are running at their absolute peak. It’s much better than putting them on every building in the city.”</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Apart from the energy saving plans they have, Masdar will be committed to recycle and reuse around 80% of the water used in the city, “as many times as possible”.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also read: <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; transition-duration: 0.2s;">IBM Working on Sunflower-Shaped Dishes to Generate Electricity and Drinking Water</span></span></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Honour and Reception:</span></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Zero-carbon, zero waste commitment of Masdar City has led to enormous support by various World Wide organisations like WWF, BioRegional.

The US government has also come up in support for Masdar City. Greenpeace foundation, though it praises the efforts made to form Masdar City, believes that instead of creating new Zero-carbon cities, we should centralize our efforts into transforming the existing cities making them pollution free.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Final Words: </span>Masdar City is a great attempt towards the upliftment of our mother earth from the deep well of pollution and other harmful chemicals that we’ve created to satisfy our unending thirst for luxury and comfort. Projects like these will prove to be of great benefit in extricating the human life from the unilluminated effects of pollution which may lead to the extinction of human life.</span></div> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Share your views about Masdar City in the comments below.</span></div> </div>
