Summary

In this chapter, we have looked at Docker and some of the problems it solves. We have also discussed some of the ways in which the core Docker engine can be extended and the problems that you can solve with the additional functionality that you gain by extending Docker.

In the next chapter, we will look at four different tools provided by Docker to make deploying, managing, and configuring Docker host instances and containers as simple and seamless as possible.
