Abstract
Techniques, described herein, may enable network services to be efficiently and effectively implemented as containers by computing devices operating in a cloud computing environment. Container images may be built and tested locally by an operator device and pushed to the computing devices for deployment of containers defined by the container images. The computing devices may enable the containers to communicate with one another by applying a domain name service (DNS) and port mapping tool to the containers. The computing devices may provide data collection, data search, and data visualization tools to enable an operator to monitor and manage the containers themselves as well as the activity of the containers.
