In the last chapter, we introduced techniques commonly used to allow a developer to evolve, modify, debug, and test their code while running in a container. We also learned how to instrument applications so that they generate logging information that can help us to do root cause analysis of failures or misbehaviors of applications or application services that are running in production.
In this chapter, we will show how you can use tools to perform administrative tasks without having to install those tools on the host computer. We will also illustrate the use of containers that host and run test scripts or code used to test and validate application services running in containers. Finally, we will guide the reader through the task of building a simple Docker-based CI/CD pipeline.
This is a quick overview of all of the subjects...
