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 covered a lot about the Docker Hub ecosystem. We discussed what official images are, how automated builds work, and of course, how to work with images in three different ways. After working through this chapter, we now have the tools in our tool belt to build our first application with Puppet.

In the next chapter, we will write our first Puppet module to create a Docker container and we will look at writing rspec-puppet unit tests to make sure that our module does what it's meant to do.
