Container Technology: Startup Datawise.io Simplifies On-Premise Management of a Clustered Container Environment
Container technology is hot. Docker is hot. Containers provide a way to package up and encapsulate everything needed by a single application to run. Containers basically contain the entire runtime environment and all application dependencies, and because of that, containers as self-contained units can be moved easily between environments. Containers abstract away the many differences there might be in the underlying infrastructure.
Jeff Chou, Datawise.io Co-Founder and CEO, said that “containers will revolutionize application development and datacenter operations.”
But container technology isn’t perfect yet though. When trying to run more than a few containers across more than just a few physical servers, complexities arise. It’s often difficult to work out all the networking and storage requirements.
Datawise.io is working on a solution to the problem. They’re introducing software called Project 6 which can manage the deployment of many Docker containers across an on-premises environment of clustered nodes. While the project is still in “stealth mode”, it is being made available as a preview.
Datawise.io integrates Docker and Google’s Kubernetes to provide the following capabilities:
- High availability cluster management for aggregating resources and coordinating operations
- Simplified networking that allows individual containers to maintain distinct IP addresses
- Optimized local disk management by using persistent and temporary storage volumes
