In this chapter, you learned the importance of a cluster management and init system to efficiently manage dockerized microservices at scale.

We explored the different cluster control or cluster orchestration tools before diving deep into Mesos and Marathon. We also implemented Mesos and Marathon in the AWS cloud environment to demonstrate how to manage dockerized microservices developed for BrownField PSS.

At the end of this chapter, we also explored the position of the life cycle manager in conjunction with Mesos and Marathon. Finally, we concluded this chapter with a technology metamodel based on the BrownField PSS microservices implementation.

So far, we have discussed all the core and supporting technology capabilities required for a successful microservices implementation. A successful microservice implementation also requires processes and practices beyond technology. The next chapter, the last in the book, will cover the process and practice perspectives of microservices.
