How deeply does Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition cover Docker CLI?

Demonstrates installation and one docker run workflow, but stops short of broader command reference or internals.

Docker CLI

As explained in Kubernetes in Action, Second Edition

The Docker CLI is the command-line client for sending container-management commands to Docker.

The Docker CLI is the command-line client for sending commands to Docker. It lets you run containers from existing images, such as BusyBox images hosted on Docker Hub. section 2.1.3

A basic Docker CLI workflow is:

Install Docker Engine on Linux, or Docker Desktop on macOS and Windows. section 2.1.3
Run an image with docker run; Docker pulls it from Docker Hub when it is not available locally. section 2.1.3
Pass the image name and a command, such as busybox echo "Hello World". section 2.1.3

$ docker run busybox echo "Hello World"
Unable to find image 'busybox:latest' locally          #1
latest: Pulling from library/busybox                   #1
7c9d20b9b6cd: Pull complete                            #1
Digest: sha256:fe301db49df08c384001ed752dff6d52b4...   #1
Status: Downloaded newer image for busybox:latest      #1
Hello World         #2

This command listing shows image lookup, downloading, container execution, and command output in one run. section 2.1.3
