Real-world Docker Series: Conclusion

I hope you've enjoyed all the shared knowledge on getting real-world docker hosts configured and understanding some of the considerations with systems administration and docker.  This series was intended to be a quick reference for some of the deeper concerns with bringing docker containers to a production environment, and a collection of knowledge that was at times hard to put together.

What I've laid out in this docker series would work in production for a small set of docker hosts and containers residing on each host.  Think of each docker host as VMWare ESX without vCenter.

If you need something more robust with orchestration, clustering, load-balancing, and scaling features, then you will need to start looking at kubernetes.  Kubernetes is a real-world answer to all of these problems.  Red Hat takes it even further with products like OpenShift v3 and upcoming Atomic Enterprise Platform.
