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 looked at how to use Puppet to deploy containers across multiple nodes. We took advantage of the native Docker networking to hide services. This is a good security practice when working with production environments. The only issue with this chapter is that we don't have any failover or resiliency in our applications. This is why container schedulers are so important.

In the next chapter, we will drive into three different schedulers to arm you with the knowledge that you will need to make sound design choices in the future.
