The Docker landscape in our cloud-driven world
With the proliferation, of
data from multiple sources and the explosion of social data and mobile technologies
consumption, developers and businesses ought to assure that their datacenters,
VMs, critical apps and cloud infrastructures are competitive in real-time.
A set of technologies,
methodologies and platforms are already available to deal with these exciting challenges.
Thank you to Docker, an open
platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed
applications.
In fact, when it comes to Docker
landscape, four powerful words always get back namely: Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating
workflows.
Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight
runtime and packaging tool.
“Dockerized”, apps are completely portable and can run anywhere.
Sysadmins use Docker to provide standardized environments
for your development, QA, and production teams.
As you can observe, the most
exciting and critical here, is your
ability to: build, ship, and run distributed applications. Quickly assemble
apps from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and
production environments. Build any app in any language using any toolchain. Apps
are completely portable and can run anywhere.
Manage and track changes and dependencies. Automate your build pipeline and
share artifacts with collaborators through public or private repositories. Flexibility in where workloads run. Rapid
scale-up and scale-down in response to changes in demand.
Congrats to Solomon Hykes, Docker’s Founder & CTO.
