Do you need to spin up extra web nodes periodically during increased load? Are you trying to keep your site portable so that you can switch hosting providers as your site grows? Are you in a shared hosting environment but tired of other sites stealing your server’s resources? Or, maybe you just want to spin up 1000 Try Drupal sites like we did.
In this session we will show how we used Docker to spin up multiple copies of a Drupal website on multiple servers for Drupal’s Try Drupal initiative.
In this session you will learn:
- How to build a Drupal container
- How to link multiple containers together
- How to mount data volumes
- How we spun up 1000’s of sites for Try-Drupal on demand
- Docker limitations we experienced
