Build Services with Docker Compose
For the last six months, the Acme Anvil Corporation has been migrating some of their bare metal infrastructure to Docker containers. Your team wants to find an easier way to deploy applications that consist of multiple containers and has decided to use Docker Compose. You have been tasked with setting up an internal blog so the team can write technical articles. This blog will consist of two services: a Ghost Blog service and a MySQL service. Both services will use volumes for persistent storage.
