Summary
In this chapter, we have reviewed the basics of how to run, build, and share containers on RHEL 8. You are prepared to create your own containers, run them, manage them, and even use systemd
to ensure they're always running in a production environment.
You are now ready to leverage the functionality and ease of deployment that containers provide. While a deep dive into all of the intricacies of migrating software into containers is outside the scope of this book, containers simplify packaging and delivery of applications ready to be executed with all of their dependencies.
Containers are now a strong focus within the Information Technology (IT) industry. Containers alone simplify the packaging and delivery of applications, but orchestration platforms such as OpenShift (based on Kubernetes) make it easier to deploy, upgrade, and manage containerized applications at scale.
Congratulations—you have come to the end of this chapter! It's now time to move...
