Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for distributing configuration templates with application containers may include (i) identifying an application to be deployed in an application container, (ii) maintaining a configuration template comprising at least one configuration setting for the application container and code that transforms the configuration template into a configuration file during deployment of the application, (iii) packaging the configuration template, the code that transforms the configuration template, and the application in a deployment container image, (iv) deploying the deployment container image to a host computing system that comprises a container engine that creates an instance of the deployment container from the deployment container image, and (v) triggering, by the instance of the deployment container, the container engine to use the configuration file generated from the configuration template to configure the application container with the configuration setting. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
