What literature can you recommend on Docker and Puppet?

Question

Books

Good afternoon,
Recommend useful books for docker and puppet. Of course, I will twist them on a virtual machine, but I would like to read more.
And a modest question, what can you say about monitoring Graphite, Elastic stack? Is it something similar to zabbix?
Thank you!

I only heard about books in Russian about Adrian Mowat: Using Docker , but I didn’t read it. A good article that at one time helped me clarify a couple of points https://habrahabr.ru/post/310460/
Read the articles, pay attention to the articles about which version of Docker they are talking about, since you can find a lot of outdated material due to the fact that that Docker is rapidly evolving.
Everything is described in the official documentation, only it will help if any question arises.
I can’t say anything about puppet, I haven’t used it, but this is a well-known thing and has been described a bunch of times.
Griphite is a metrics collection and analysis system that includes the carbon metrics collection daemon and a whisper database. It is not used by itself, it is usually connected to grafana to build dashboards and charts, since the latter is much better at plotting. Suitable for collecting and analyzing a large number of metrics at a high frequency. Grafana has recently learned how to generate alerts based on metrics, but still this does not replace the monitoring system. Look towards monitoring Prometheus
Elastic stack - do you mean ELK? ELK for collecting and analyzing logs. For example, zabbix works very poorly with logs, and ELK allows you to parse them, arrange a search in the logs and analyze them.
