Rig comes with a deployment engine that wraps resources in what we call Capsules. A Capsule contains a bundle of resources which will be deployed as a unit. Those resources are

• A Docker image
• Environment variables
• Networking configuration (load balancer/ingress)
• Networking middleware to handle e.g. authentication
• Number of replicas

If you are familiar with Kubernetes, Capsules can be thought of as containing everything (deployment, service, ingress, etc.) needed to run and manage your application.

Prerequisites

Make sure that you have followed the steps to setup Rig through the getting started guide.
