It is cool that we can create encapsulated instantiations of the software services that we've created. In theory, we can publish these images to Docker repositories, and then launch the containers on any server we want. For example, our task in Chapter 10, Deploying Node.js Applications to Linux Servers, would be greatly simplified with Docker. We could simply install Docker Engine on the Linux host and then deploy our containers on that server, and not have to deal with all those scripts and the PM2 application.
But we haven't properly automated the process. The promise was to use the Dockerized application for deployment on cloud services. In other words, we need to take all this learning and apply it to the task of simplifying deployment.
We've demonstrated that, with Docker, Notes can be built using four containers that have a high degree of isolation from each other and from the outside world.
There is a glaring problem...
