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 operationalize our container environment using Puppet. We covered a logging solution using ELK. We took Consul to the next level with more in-depth health checks and creating services to monitor our cluster. We then tested the built-in HA functionality that ships with Swarm. We have covered a lot of ground now since our humble first module in Chapter 2, Working with Docker Hub. You are fully equipped to take the knowledge that you have got here and apply it in the real world.
