Summary
In this chapter, we covered how to provision resources in the cloud and configure them. We used the knife EC2 and knife Azure plugins to create virtual machines in AWS and Microsoft Azure, respectively. We used the Docker Hub Tomcat image to build a new image with the tomcat-users.xml
file, which has roles and users configured to access the Tomcat manager web app.
In the next chapter, we will cover different methods to deploy an application in a Tomcat web container. Let's again reiterate the goal of the book: end-to-end automation using an application deployment pipeline.
