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


By building a multicontainer application, we learned and covered a lot. We first looked at state versus stateless containers, the pros and cons of having state, and what design choices we have to keep a state. We then looked at linked containers and how they communicate with each other through their hostfiles. All the topics in this chapter will set us up with the knowledge that we need to move forward with topics such as service discovery and container schedulers.
