On page 214, there is a command for building the image:
docker build -t basic-ml-microservice:latest which lacks the build context to access files from.
It should be docker build -t basic-ml-microservice:latest . (assuming you are in the Chapter05/microservices/mlewp2-web-service/app path).
Exactly same issue in Step 4, on page 216.
It must be docker build --tag basic-ml-microservice:local . instead of just docker build --tag basic-ml-microservice:local
