Containers in Linux can be packaged for Service Fabric either using a Yeoman template or manually. The Service Fabric SDK for Linux comes with a built-in Yeoman generator to ease things for application developers. Yeoman generator facilitates creating an application and adding it to a container image with minimal effort.
Yeoman is a development stack that combines several development tools and runs as a command-line interface. Yeoman has a pluggable architecture and it only orchestrates the development tools plugged into it. The many available Yeoman plugins, called generators in Yeoman terms, create starter templates, manage dependencies, run unit tests, and optimize deployment code, among many other things. You can read more about Yeoman here: http://yeoman.io/.
Manifest files can be later updated to add or update services. Once the application is built, the Azure CLI can be used to deploy the local cluster.
