In this chapter, you have learned what containers are and how they relate to DevOps. Where DevOps is more of a cultural thing, containers are a way to support it technically. You have also learned how to create container images via a Dockerfile, and specifically by using a multi-stage build file. Finally, we dived into Kubernetes, where we learned a way to host containers and also manage the running containers by using the kubectl command.

Using the knowledge acquired in this chapter, you are now able to deploy applications to Kubernetes and make sure that it scales with the number of requests it receives.

In the next chapter, you will learn more about facilitating the DevOps process by using Azure DevOps. You will learn what works for your organization and team and what doesn't and how to implement that structure and your approach using Azure DevOps.
