Container technology is hot. \u00a0Docker is hot<\/a>. \u00a0Containers 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.<\/p>\n

Jeff Chou<\/a>, Datawise.io Co-Founder and CEO, said that “containers will revolutionize application development and datacenter operations.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Datawise.io is working on\u00a0a 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. \u00a0While the project is still in “stealth mode”, it\u00a0is being made available as a preview.<\/p>\n

Datawise.io integrates Docker and Google’s Kubernetes <\/a>to provide the following capabilities:<\/p>\n
