[Users] Docker -- self-sufficient application containers

I haven't looked into this very much, but it sounds promising. Anyone on list familiar with it? http://www.docker.io/ "Docker is an open-source project to easily create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop can run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare metal, OpenStack clusters, public clouds and more." I wonder if there's interest in shipping oVirt docker containers. Greg Sheremeta Red Hat, Inc. Sr. Software Engineer, RHEV Cell: 919-807-1086 gshereme@redhat.com

Looks a bit like Vagrant but less for development only ;-) Thanks for the tip! Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae -----Original Message-----

My understanding of Docker is that it provides a lighter-weight alternative to jboss or tomcat, but I'm not sure how much you would extend ovirt with a java application server.

DS Docker is meant for binary applications, it "virtualizes" an os environment so that your application can run on almost any linux distro of the same architecture.
