Summary

In this chapter, we initially did a deep dive into privileged containers, which can get access to all the host devices as well as super-privileged containers, it shows the capability of the containers to manage to run a background service which can be used to run services in Docker containers to manage the underlying host. Then, we looked into Puppet, a key orchestration tool, and how it handles container management with help of the garethr-docker GitHub project. We also looked into Ansible and Chef, which provide similar capabilities to Puppet to manage Docker containers at scale. In the next chapter, we will be exploring the Docker networking stack.
