It is pretty easy to try out the various deployment systems using Docker to manage the base OS, where we will do our experiments. It is a time-saving method that can be used when developing and debugging the deployment code which is specific to a particular deployment system. This code will then be used for deployments on physical or virtual machines.

First, we will try each of the different deployment systems that are usually possible in local deployment modes. Further down the line, we will see how we can simulate the complete deployment of a system with several containers that together form a virtual cluster.
