In this assignment, you have to manage docker containers using a configuration received from MQTT. Create two clients written in Go, one for sending the configuration to MQTT and another for receiving the configuration and managing the docker containers. Compare the containers running currently with the configuration from MQTT and create/update/delete the containers accordingly. You are free to choose your own design requirements. keep it simple and be creative :)
