in late 2015, it provides a slick interface around the management and orchestration of Docker containers for Enterprise.

with our applications at /u01/app/acme-corp/tomcat/webapps

Packaging
Before we can deploy to ACCS, we would simply add a manifest.json
in our Tomcat home (/u01/app/acme-corp/tomcat/manifest.json
