Summary

In this chapter, we covered more advanced topics around Docker, only touching topics around orchestration. Kubernetes, OpenShift, and SaaS solutions provided by cloud operators are driving the creation of new tools that will further ease Docker’s use in modern applications.

Docker has had a profound impact on the world of software development and deployment, enabling us to build, ship, and run applications more efficiently and reliably than ever before. By understanding the internals of Docker and following best practices for working with it, we can ensure that our applications are secure, performant, and scalable across a wide range of environments.

In the next chapter, we will look into challenges on how to monitor and gather logs in a distributed environment built on top of Docker containers.
