Chapter 5. Conclusion
Docker provides numerous advantages and is a natural fit for microservices. By leveraging Kubernetes to manage a cluster of Docker containers, OpenShift expands on the capabilities of container technologies and helps govern and simplify various stages of the software lifecycle.
This reference architecture demonstrates an easy path for Java EE developers and architects to migrate their applications to a microservice architecture that can be deployed and distributed in a secure environment and on-premise cloud, while benefiting from enterprise support and quality of service.
For a discussion of planning, deployment and operation of an Open Source Platform as a Service, refer to the reference architecture on OpenShift Enterprise 3 Architecture Guide.
