Puppet for Containerization

By: Scott Coulton

Overview of this book

This book teaches you how to take advantage of the new benefits of containerization systems such as Docker, Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and Docker UCP, without losing the panoptical power of proper configuration management. You will learn how to integrate your containerized applications and modules with your Puppet workflow. You will also understand how to manage, monitor, and orchestrate hosts to keep deployed containers running seamlessly. With the help of this book, you can efficiently automate and document with containers, as a part of your system. The book will also cover use cases of deploying Puppet within a containerized environment.

Summary


In this chapter, we deployed our first container with Puppet. In doing so, we actually covered a lot of ground. We now have our script to create Puppet modules, and we know how to map our Puppet module's dependencies with metadata.json and .fixtures.yml.

In our tool belt, we now have two ways to deploy a container with Puppet, which will come in very handy in the chapters to come.
