Dockerized IdP

[Nate Klingenstein]

Etienne,

What does thing bring compared to managing IdPs with configuration
management software? I mean you'd need CM anyway to create the IdP's
configuration (whether in the image or external), so why bother with
Docker on top of this?

My totally uninformed opinion is that I would use one or the other.  You could use both, certainly, but we’re looking at just getting a directory full of files here at the end.  Version control remains important, so I would store that in one or more git repositories, but I don’t know that any more elegant wiring is needed.

Similarly, if I already were doing all of this in a CMS with VM’s with a “cattle" deployment paradigm, I wouldn’t bother with Docker either.  There are some real advantages and real disadvantages, but nothing that would make me move yet.

I’m going to be reading about orchestration of containers.  That’s one of my favorite CMS features and I don’t know how/whether Docker approaches it, whether through Swarm or other implementations.

Ready for better answers and to look foolish,
Nate.
