The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit: Automating the Continuous Deployment Pipeline with Containerized Microservices

                                        by Viktor Farcic

It's about fast, reliable and continuous deployments with zero-downtime and ability to roll-back. It's about scaling to any number of servers, design of self-healing systems capable of recuperation from both hardware and software failures and about centralized logging and monitoring of the cluster.
