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, you learned a lot about how the container ecosystem handles service discovery. I can't emphasize on how important it will be to understand this topic when you start using containers at scale. I would really suggest that you get a solid understanding of service discovery before moving on to further chapters. We also covered the basics of Docker networking. Don't worry, as in the next chapter, we will go into Docker networking in more depth as we will be building multihost applications.
