Docker Enterprise Edition for Linux on IBM Z (yes, mainframe!)

Recently we released a new version of Docker Enterprise Edition featuring expansion of the multi-architecture capabilities from Linux to Windows Server and now the IBM Z mainframe platform. Enterprise IT architecture is complex and diverse and include workloads across different server hardware types and operating systems.
Docker and IBM have partnered together to deliver the support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for IBM Z (x390x) systems as certified infrastructure for Docker Enterprise Edition. This first release features support for the the IBM Z product family.
Why bring Docker containers and mainframe systems together? Enterprises across industries like financial services, government, manufacturing and more use mainframe systems for many high throughput applications. Many organizations recognize that these applications are at the core of their systems but rewriting and refactoring them for a different platform is expensive and time-consuming. By wrapping them in a container, organizations can make these applications easier to maintain and update while bringing them into the same software supply chain as other x86 applications
Multi-Architecture Support for Mainframe Systems
Docker Enterprise Edition allows for the same orchestration, security model, supply chain and integrated management that can be applied across a broader range of your application portfolio and drive IT operational efficiency.
Multi-architecture support means that a single cluster of worker nodes can include x86 Linux and Windows Server in addition to mainframe systems. Each server or VM will have their respective Docker Enterprise Edition installed and with swarm mode activated, the cluster will form and be orchestrated by the manager nodes running the control plane. Today, all manager nodes remain x86 Linux nodes that manage and orchestrate the heterogeneous cluster. The Trusted Registry, Image Scanning and Signing can all be applied to containerized mainframe applications. The granular Role Based Access Control (RBAC) and labels can also be applied to the diverse set of nodes in the cluster and containers in the registry. The best part is the same UI, same process and operating model can be applied across all these different application types.
Try Docker on IBMZ
Docker Enterprise Edition for Linux on IBM Z is available directly from IBM and their network of channel partners. Level 1 and Level 2 support is provided directly by IBM support engineers. Companies who already have a mainframe footprint can extend their existing partnership with IBM to add Docker EE to their technology stack for their critical applications.
Additionally, IBM recently announced a new release of the enterprise Linux platform designed specifically for mainframe systems. This next generation of IBM LinuxONE systems and Docker EE together provide complementary security capabilities from the system to the application and the ability for massive scale – up to two million containers per system.

Secure Multi-Tenancy at Scale with Docker Enterprise Edition

With the latest release of Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), enterprise organizations are able to extend the benefits of containers across their entire application portfolio. Docker EE enables rapid modernization of traditional Windows and Linux applications as well as Linux applications running on IBM Z mainframes. By addressing all of these applications, Docker EE provides the opportunity to standardize around a common packaging format for greater portability, agility, and with an additional layer of security, resulting in more teams bringing their workloads into Docker EE.
The key to operating this diverse environment is to have a way to secure and isolate the applications and the multiple teams who build, ship, and deploy them. This release of Docker Enterprise Edition makes it possible for organizations to modernize traditional applications of every variety and to do so in a secure manner that aligns to complex organizational needs.
Building a Secure Software Supply Chain for Windows Applications
 

Windows applications make up about half of all enterprise applications. Docker has been working closely with Microsoft to ensure that the same security benefits that are available to Linux containers are also available to Windows Server containers. When Windows containers are managed with Docker EE, organizations get access to the same secure end-to-end software supply chain that is based on usable security features and trusted delivery across any infrastructure. For example, Docker EE security features like image signing and Windows Server security features like Windows Code Integrity combine to ensure the integrity of the applications that you deploy into production.
Docker and Microsoft have worked together to help our customers deliver safer apps. This joint effort is described in this new white paper, Delivering Safer Apps with Docker Enterprise Edition and Windows Server 2016. You can also read more about this in this Microsoft TechNet blog.  
Granular and Flexible Multi-Tenancy
Docker Enterprise Edition now includes the ability to define custom granular Role-based Access Controls (RBAC) down to the API operation level. This latest release also introduces a new resource control model that allows organizations to define resource collections which are granted to specific users, teams or orgs. These combine to deliver powerful access controls that align to any organization.

To learn more about these new capabilities, be sure to review the Docker Enterprise Edition documentation and register for the upcoming webinar Enhanced Access Controls with Docker Enterprise Edition delivered by Mark Church from our Customer Success team.

Docker in the Enterprise Showcased at VMworld 2017

Last week, in the blistering heat of Las Vegas, Docker had a chance to interact with thousands of VMworld attendees to talk about containers. The message we heard again and again was that those in charge of infrastructure and virtualization are now being asked to manage containers. Sometimes it is being driven by developer teams that are already using Docker, but sometimes it is the infrastructure teams who recognize the benefits of moving applications to containers for easier maintenance and operations as well as cost savings. With Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), we have a solution that is designed to let IT secure and manage containerized applications.
Learn More About Docker for VMware Admins

Docker in Higher Education: Announcing Tools & Resources for Teachers

At the beginning of the summer we published a blog post announcing the Docker Student Developer Kit and Campus Ambassador program. The positive reception from students has been overwhelming and we were so excited to see hundreds of applications flood in!
Many teachers took notice of the enthusiasm of their students and began to reach out, asking us for tools, resources and support in using Docker in the classroom and adding Docker to their curriculum. To this end we have put together a free package for teachers!
Making use of this offer will enable teachers to effectively use and teach Docker in the classroom as we will be able to provide:

Free Tools: eliminating the need for students to install anything locally, thus saving you valuable class time
Resources: the most up to date presentations, hands-on labs, workshops etc. on every topic for every skill level
Support and recognition: you will have a dedicated contact at Docker to help you through the process and also be welcomed into the online Docker Teachers community where you can collaborate and learn from other educators

If you are a teacher at a higher-education institution who would like to unlock the benefits outlined above, please fill in this form and we will get in touch with next steps.
If you are still unsure about whether Docker is right for your classroom, Michael Irwin, Computer Science Instructor at Virginia Tech, has some wisdom to share. He believes that using Docker will save time and hassle in the classroom and show students that your course material is cutting edge:
“When a class starts up especially if it’s a language or a framework that they [the students] have never used before, they are spending the whole first day saying ‘Uugh.. How do I install everything? How do I configure the various pieces?’ … Using Docker allows more time for instruction and more time for the instructor to actually talk about the material itself rather than spending so much time on the periphery talking about ‘how do you set everything up?’”
“A lot of the time curriculum is written several years ago. Things have changed, but the documentation hasn’t been updated along with it.”
“Doing this kind of stuff shows them [the students] that we are playing with the latest and greatest. You can use Docker, you can use these containers and then you can use the right tool for the job to solve the problem at hand.”

To unlock Docker greatness in your classroom, please fill in this form.

What’s New in Docker Enterprise Edition Webinar Recap

The latest release of Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) allows organizations to modernize Windows, Linux, and Linux-on-mainframe applications—all with minimal disruption. The release also allows organizations to run containers at scale with advanced capabilities around secure multi-tenancy and policy-based automation.

In last week’s webinar, we walked through the key new features of this release and saw a demo of Docker EE in action. If you missed the webinar, you can watch it here:

Here are the top questions from the webinar:
Q: Can you provide more information about Windows support? Which version of Windows? Is this only available with Docker Enterprise Edition?
A: You can run Windows Docker containers either with Docker Community Edition for Windows (PC) which supports Windows 10 or Docker Enterprise Edition for Windows Server 2016 (including Nano Server). Docker EE Basic is included with the Windows Server 2016 license, and you also have the option to upgrade to EE Standard or EE Advanced for Windows Server 2016 to get complete lifecycle management capabilities, Docker Trusted Registry, and advanced security features like image signing and scanning.
Q: Is it possible to deploy the Windows containers on top of a native Linux host?
A: As a form of packaging an application, you can only deploy Windows containers on a Windows host as the application will need to access the underlying OS kernel and in this case, it would be a Windows OS kernel. With this release, it is possible to manage a Docker EE cluster that contains both Windows and Linux nodes as well as Linux on IBM Z nodes.
Q: Does Docker EE support legacy Windows applications?
A: The Docker engine runtime only works on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, but containerized Windows applications built on older stacks will still work as long as it is based on the same underlying kernel. As an example, .NET is backwards compatible allowing you to containerize a .NET 2.0 application. In the Linux world, the equivalent is running Ubuntu-based apps and RHEL-based apps on the same Docker host because it leverages the same underlying Linux kernel.
Q: Does image scanning look for known CVEs? Or do we have to provide scripts? Is that feature available in all plans?
A: Image scanning looks at the NIST CVE database of known vulnerabilities, but you can also add your own inputs from a .TAR file. Image scanning is available in Docker EE Advanced and does work for both Windows and Linux images.
Q: Is it recommended to run Dockerized e-commerce applications in production?
A: Many of our customers leverage Docker for production e-commerce apps. Docker works very well with Java and .NET/IIS apps.
Q: How many containers can run on a single Docker host?
A: It depends on a number of factors. It will depend on if you’re running bare metal or in a virtual machine, what resources are available (CPU/memory) and the size of the containers. If you’re dealing with larger monolithic apps or microservices, the size of your containers can vary greatly.
Q: The use case of modernizing traditional apps – does that mean rewriting the application or just containerizing the application as it is? If the latter, wouldn’t that go against the “theoretical” best practices of keeping containers small?
A: Docker supports the containerizing of applications as they are, meaning you can containerize a monolithic application without reworking the code. While the resulting container may be larger than a microservice, it will still receive some of the same benefits in terms of portability, easier maintenance and faster deployments. Organizations can also see significant cost savings from decreased infrastructure requirements. You can learn more about the core benefits of this by signing up here: https://www.docker.com/mta

An Inside Look at the Docker Captains Program

Since launching the Docker Captains over a year ago, we’ve received a lot of questions: What is a Docker Captain? What do Captains do? How do I become a Captain? So who better to answer that than the Docker Captains themselves? At DockerCon Austin, we asked the Docker Captains to share their favorite thing about wearing the Captain’s hat.

What is a Captain?
Captains are Docker experts that are leaders in their communities, organizations or ecosystems. As Docker advocates, they are committed to sharing their knowledge and do so every chance they get!
What do Captains do?
Captains are advisors, ambassadors, coders, contributors, creators, tool builders, speakers, mentors, maintainers and super users and are required to be active stewards of Docker in order to remain in the program.
In addition to sharing their knowledge with the community, Captains provide insight and feedback to Docker. They have direct access to our technical teams, and are first to hear about and try upcoming features, product releases and big announcements.

What do Captains get? 
In return for their efforts, Captains get access to the existing captains community and Docker staff. They get ongoing training, private briefings and Slack chat channels where Captains have real-time access to each other and the Docker team. Docker amplifies the efforts of Captains by sharing their activities on social media, in the Docker Weekly, and through speaking opportunities. They also get additional training and resources at Docker events like DockerCon. Oh and SWAG… lots of SWAG!
How do I follow what the Captains are up to?
Follow all of the Captains on twitter. Also check out the Captains GitHub repo to see what projects they have been working on.

How can I learn more about each Captain?
Docker Captains are eager to bring their technical expertise to new audiences both offline and online around the world – don’t hesitate to reach out to them via the social links on their Captain profile pages. You can filter the captains by location, expertise, and more.
What does Docker look for when selecting Captains?
Captains were nominated as candidates for the program because their passion for inspiring and educating others about Docker translates into creating incredible value for Docker’s users. Specifically, Captains meet some or all of the following criteria:

Technical: Captains are Docker practitioners – they use Docker and stay up to date with the latest Docker features and releases.
Innovators: Captains have created some amazing projects and are constantly inspired by the way they push the envelope:

Play with Docker – A sandbox training playground that allows users to immediately test Docker and related projects with no setup.
Open FaaS Project – OpenFaaS is a framework for building serverless functions with Docker which has first class support for metrics.

Creators: Captains create content to educate and support the Docker community, they respond to questions in forums and chat, and speak in public at meetups and conferences about Docker.
Influencers: Captains are leaders in their community, organization or ecosystem and focus on advancing the adoption and proper use of Docker technology.
Credible: Captains know their way around the container lifecycle and its applied uses, they’ve tried and worked with other technologies, and they share their findings. They are passionate about Docker as a solution, but the first to tell us we haven’t gotten something quite right.

How do I become a Captain?
We are actively looking to add additional leaders that inspire and educate the Docker community. Sign up for community.docker.com, let Captains know of your interest, share your activities on social media and hashtag #Docker, get involved in a local meetup as a speaker or organizer and continue to share your knowledge of Docker in your community and organization.

Video Series: Modernizing .NET Apps for IT Pros

 
This is a new 5-part video series in Docker’s Modernize Traditional Apps (MTA) program, aimed at Microsoft IT Pros. The video series shows you how to move a .NET 3.5 app from Windows Server to a Windows Docker container and deploy it to a scalable, highly-available environment in the cloud – without any changes to the app.
Part 1 introduces the series, explaining what is meant by “traditional” apps and the problems they present. Traditional apps are built to run on a server, rather than on a modern application platform. They have common traits, like being complex to manage and difficult to deploy. A portfolio of traditional applications tends to under-utilize its infrastructure, and over-utilize the humans who manage it. Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) fixes that, giving you a consistent way to package, release and manage all your apps, without having to re-write them.

Part 2 shows how easy it is to move traditional apps to Docker EE. I start with an ASP.NET 3.5 WebForms application running on Windows Server 2003, and use Image2Docker to extract the app and package it as a Docker image. Then I run the application in a Docker Windows container on my Windows 10 workstation. I do that without changing the app, and without needing to access the original source code.

Part 3 covers the upgrade workflow in Docker EE. I build a new version of the Docker image for my app, using an updated version of the Windows Server Docker image. That’s how you roll out Windows updates and application updates in Docker EE, building a new version of the image and replacing running containers with the new version. I push the image to a private Docker registry and run the app in a VM on Azure. With minimal effort I’ve moved my traditional app from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2016 in the cloud.

Part 4 demonstrates a highly-available staging environment, using Docker Cloud to spin up a multi-node Docker swarm in Azure. I deploy my app to the staging environment, running the website and a SQL Server database in Docker Windows containers. Then I add monitoring to the app, publishing the .NET and IIS Performance Counters from the container and collecting them with Prometheus, an open-source monitoring system which is popular in the Docker ecosystem.

Part 5 walks through Docker in production, using Docker Enterprise Edition Advanced. Docker EE can be deployed in the cloud or in the datacenter, and it gives you a production-grade Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) solution. I show the security in Docker EE, with role-based access control and a secure software supply chain. I digitally sign my application images and store them in Docker Trusted Registry, then deploy the app to a production Docker cluster running Universal Control Plane.

Migrating traditional apps to Docker EE gives you increased efficiency, portability and security. If you’re planning a move to the cloud, or upgrading to modern infrastructure – or if you just want to consolidate workloads on existing infrastructure – Docker makes it easy.
