In this chapter, we looked at how you can extend your application's awareness on the environment it is running by using service discovery tools.

For the most part, you may not need to go to this level of integration with your hosting platform. However, to truly ensure that your application has the least number of single points of failure, combining service discovery with technologies we discussed in previous chapters such as Docker Swarm should ensure that you are deploying your application on a highly available, self-healing, and production-ready platform.

We also took a brief look at how you can contribute to both Docker and Moby Projects either by contributing code, support, or just spreading the word on containerization.
