In this chapter, we covered important concepts related to developing and deploying applications with Docker Enterprise. We backed the concepts up with samples, including an end-to-end CI pipeline to build and deploy the Docker AtSea sample application onto a Docker Enterprise cluster. We covered services, networking, routing mesh, layer 7 ingress control, UCP client bundles, and integration with CI Pipelines.

As we continue on our journey, we will take a look at logging and monitoring of your new pilot application, followed by a variety topics about getting your cluster and application production ready. In this chapter, we focused on using Swarm as our orchestrator, because it is a really good starting point for most Enterprises. Later in this book, we are going to come back and redeploy our application using Kubernetes in our Docker Enterprise cluster.
