Docker at Nutanix .NEXT Conference – Visit us at Booth #S11

Today marks the start of Nutanix .NEXT Conference in Washington, D.C., the annual conference for Nutanix customers and partners. One of the major themes of the conference is hybrid cloud, and Docker will be there to demonstrate how Docker Enterprise Edition delivers application portability across different infrastructure platforms through a complete enterprise-ready Container as a Service (CaaS) solution for IT.
Docker and Nutanix will also be highlighting the Nutanix Docker Volume Plug-in (DVP), a Docker Certified Plugin available in the Docker Store. This plugin connects Docker containers to enterprise-grade persistent storage from Nutanix even as the container is powered on, powered off, or moved to a new host. As part of the certification process, Docker and Nutanix validate that the plugin is built with Docker recommended best practices and passes an additional suite of API compliance testing and vulnerability scanning. Docker EE customers also have access to support from both Docker and Nutanix.

 
Watch a Demo of Docker EE at Nutanix .NEXT
For those heading to Nutanix .NEXT, be sure to swing by booth #S11 to learn more about this plugin as well as other IT use cases for EE. Watch a demo and grab some Docker swag while you learn how IT organizations can modernize their data centers, save on costs, and improve security with Docker Enterprise Edition.

Kubespray Ansible Playbooks foster Collaborative Kubernetes Ops

Today’s guest post is by Rob Hirschfeld, co-founder of open infrastructure automation project, Digital Rebar and co-chair of the SIG Cluster Ops.  Why Kubespray?Making Kubernetes operationally strong is a widely held priority and I track many deployment efforts around the project. The incubated Kubespray project is of particular interest for me because it uses the popular Ansible toolset to build robust, upgradable clusters on both cloud and physical targets. I believe using tools familiar to operators grows our community.We’re excited to see the breadth of platforms enabled by Kubespray and how well it handles a wide range of options like integrating Ceph for StatefulSet persistence and Helm for easier application uploads. Those additions have allowed us to fully integrate the OpenStack Helm charts (demo video).By working with the upstream source instead of creating different install scripts, we get the benefits of a larger community. This requires some extra development effort; however, we believe helping share operational practices makes the whole community stronger. That was also the motivation behind the SIG-Cluster Ops.With Kubespray delivering robust installs, we can focus on broader operational concerns.For example, we can now drive parallel deployments, so it’s possible to fully exercise the options enabled by Kubespray simultaneously for development and testing.  That’s helpful to built-test-destroy coordinated Kubernetes installs on CentOS, Red Hat and Ubuntu as part of an automation pipeline. We can also set up a full classroom environment from a single command using Digital Rebar’s providers, tenants and cluster definition JSON.Let’s explore the classroom example:First, we define a student cluster in JSON like the snippet below{  “attribs”: {    “k8s-version”: “v1.6.0″,    “k8s-kube_network_plugin”: “calico”,    “k8s-docker_version”: “1.12”  },  “name”: “cluster01″,  “tenant”: “cluster01″,  “public_keys”: {    “cluster01″: “ssh-rsa AAAAB….. user@example.com”  },  “provider”: {    “name”: “google-provider”  },  “nodes”: [    {      “roles”: [ “etcd”,”k8s-addons”, “k8s-master” ],      “count”: 1    },    {      “roles”: [ “k8s-worker” ],      “count”: 3    }  ]}Then we run the Digital Rebar workloads Multideploy.sh reference script which inspects the deployment files to pull out key information.  Basically, it automates the following steps:rebar provider create {“name”:“google-provider”, [secret stuff]}rebar tenants create {“name”:“cluster01”}rebar deployments create [contents from cluster01 file]The deployments create command will automatically request nodes from the provider. Since we’re using tenants and SSH key additions, each student only gets access to their own cluster. When we’re done, adding the –destroy flag will reverse the process for the nodes and deployments but leave the providers and tenants.We are invested in operational scripts like this example using Kubespray and Digital Rebar because if we cannot manage variation in a consistent way then we’re doomed to operational fragmentation.  I am excited to see and be part of the community progress towards enterprise-ready Kubernetes operations on both cloud and on-premises. That means I am seeing reasonable patterns emerge with sharable/reusable automation. I strongly recommend watching (or better, collaborating in) these efforts if you are deploying Kubernetes even at experimental scale. Being part of the community requires more upfront effort but returns dividends as you get the benefits of shared experience and improvement.When deploying at scale, how do you set up a system to be both repeatable and multi-platform without compromising scale or security?With Kubespray and Digital Rebar as a repeatable base, extensions get much faster and easier. Even better, using upstream directly allows improvements to be quickly cycled back into upstream. That means we’re closer to building a community focused on the operational side of Kubernetes with an SRE mindset.If this is interesting, please engage with us in the Cluster Ops SIG, Kubespray or Digital Rebar communities. — Rob Hirschfeld, co-founder of RackN and co-chair of the Cluster Ops SIGGet involved with the Kubernetes project on GitHub Post questions (or answer questions) on Stack Overflow Connect with the community on SlackFollow us on Twitter @Kubernetesio for latest updates

Build and deploy hybrid applications in Azure using Docker Enterprise Edition

Don’t miss the Azure OpenDev event on June 21 2017 at 9am PDT.
Is your organization asking you to modernize a traditional app that uses old code to make it simpler to deploy and more scalable based on customer demand – what to do?
Scott Johnston, COO and Michael Friis, Product Manager at Docker will highlight two use cases that demonstrate how Docker and Microsoft are working together to help developers and IT-Pros build and deploy hybrid apps using Docker Enterprise Edition that span on-premises and Azure. Scott and Michael will also show how to use Docker to build microservices-based solutions on Azure and create agile software delivery pipelines in the cloud.
Scott Johnston’s session will cover the first use case: “Modernize Traditional Applications (MTA)” – a program that enables IT organizations to modernize legacy applications, transforming them in hybrid cloud deployments while simultaneously realizing substantial savings in their total cost of ownership (TCO). In partnership with companies such as Avanade and Microsoft, Docker is helping organizations containerize existing .NET Windows or Java Linux applications without modifying source code or re-architecting the applications. The applications can then be easily deployed to Azure in minutes.
This, addresses two major realities that IT organizations face: Existing applications consume 80% of most IT budgets, and IT organizations have to deliver on cloud migration initiatives. The heart of the program is methodology and tooling designed to make it easy for DevOps to deploy and manage newly-containerized applications onto hybrid cloud infrastructure. Put simply, Docker’s MTA program can help enterprise IT move forward on the path to digital transformation.
Michael Friis, will demo Image2Docker where you start with an VM image of an legacy Linux-based app and you run Image2Docker to extract Docker artifacts. You can then build and deploy the migrated application to Azure with Docker Enterprise Edition.
The second use case will demo how a developer can build a new Java Linux app on their laptop and deploy it to Azure using Docker Cloud and Docker Community Edition (CE) for Azure Container Service (ACS). The demo will start from running Docker CE with Swarm mode on Azure, registering Swarm with Docker Cloud, accessing Swarm with Docker ID and building, deploying a Java/Linux application.
Finally, watch Mark West, Senior Architect at MS IT sharing the success story of how the MS IT organization migrated 10 applications from two different business units into Docker containers running on the same host using Docker Enterprise Edition to Azure. All of this was possible with just a few Docker commands and didn’t require significant IT investments and approvals.

Docker and Booz Allen Hamilton Modernize Traditional Apps in Government IT

Existing applications and infrastructure account for the majority of IT spend in maintenance and support. Docker and Booz Allen Hamilton are partnering together to help Federal agencies modernize traditional apps with Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), deploy onto modern infrastructure to save infrastructure and operational costs, increase security and gain workload portability.
This program helps accelerate the path to modern microservices and infrastructure with containers:

First by containerizing the app in place and using container architecture to break up the app into smaller services over time
The full stack portability provided by Docker EE allows for workload consolidation for greater app density per server, accelerate hardware refresh cycles and cloud migration.
Lastly, Docker EE provides new levels of security for the legacy app. Scanning provides binary level visibility into components and their security profile for proactive remediation and configurable isolation properties can greatly reduce the attack surface area

View the webinar on demand here:

Here are some of the top Q&A from the session:
Q: What does Image2Docker exactly capture in the VM?
A: Image2Docker captures the application in the VM and pulls out what can be provided by the base image or the underlying linux/win kernel.
Q: When it comes to Docker, what do I do about other users who may be using a different Linux distro than I am?
A: Docker is supported on all major Linux distributions using a modern kernel. The containers are fully compatible between those distros and 100% portable from one OS host to another. View the supported OS list here.
Q: Do you have any metrics on how long an MTA engagement takes? Do you have it packaged as a week long effort or does it depend?
A: The MTA program is a 30 days program which is inclusive of one week onsite and three weeks remote. The program includes trial subscription of Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) and application migration services for 1-2 applications. The program is designed to demonstrate value very quickly while providing an opportunity to learn the Docker EE platform.
Q: What applications should I MTA and what about all the ones not covered in the Image2Docker tool? How do we deal with them?
The Image2Docker tool currently supports .NET and Java applications with more detectors coming soon. Give the Windows Server and Linux tools a try.

Docker Enterprise Edition enters FIPS certification process

Docker Enterprise Edition enters FIPS certification process

Security is a key pillar of the Docker Enterprise Edition (EE)  platform. From built in features automatically configured out of the box to a new secure supply chain and flexible yet secure configurations that are portable with the app from one environment to another – enabling the most secure infrastructure and applications is paramount.
In addition to all the security features, ensuring that the Docker platform is validated against widely-accepted standards and best practices is a critical aspect of our product development as this enables companies and agencies across all industries to adopt Docker containers. The most notable of these standards is that of the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, which validates and approves the use of various security encryption modules within a software system.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that the Docker EE cryptography libraries are at the “in-process” phase of the FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Cryptographic Module Validation Program.
This is just one of the many initiatives Docker is driving to support agencies in the adoption of Docker and deployment of container applications in a secure and compliant manner.  In addition to starting the FIPS certification process, below are the other compliance initiatives to date:

Introduce federal security and compliance guidance for Docker Enterprise Edition 
Support for OpenControl to further agile compliance efforts with an open sourced set of documentation for Federal agency security IT personnel.
Azure Blueprint for Docker Enterprise Edition (Standard/Advanced) for secure configuration on Azure Government.
Centralized access to all Docker Enterprise Edition compliance needs like NIST 800-53 and FedRAMP recommendations into a single repo.

New technology adoption and federal compliance are evolving to enable agencies to deliver software faster in support of critical missions. With that in mind, Docker hosted a panel discussion with Microsoft, GovReady and 18F at this year’s Federal Summit in May. Watch the session on-demand to learn more:

Docker Enterprise Edition Now on G-Cloud 9 Framework

 
Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) has been accepted to G-Cloud 9, further exemplifying Docker’s commitment to delivering tools for application modernization and innovation across the UK public sector.
G-Cloud 9 is the UK government’s latest framework that is designed to simplify and accelerate adoption of cloud-based services within the public sector. The inclusion of Docker Enterprise Edition subscriptions, training and Professional Services Organization (PSO) within HM Government Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) G-Cloud 9 Framework gives UK public sector organizations the opportunity to procure the de facto container solution through the online store known as the “Digital Marketplace” without needing to run a full tender, competition or lengthy procurement process.
Docker’s meteoric rise within enterprise-class business has been built on its ability to be agnostic, agile and secure – whether for hybrid cloud migration, modernizing the application stack or adopting a DevOps methodology.
Bringing application modernization to the public sector
With the UK government’s shift to cloud and DevOps, and move away from locked-down IT contracts in favor of smaller suppliers, Docker perfectly addresses these needs by giving  UK public sector organizations the ability to innovate, transform, define, select and control their infrastructure. Additionally, these organization can retain staff who now feel engaged as they can run their programs from cradle to grave. Bringing control and ownership back home means CI/CD and agility is being delivered immediately, without third-party influence. UK public sector organizations can now slowly unshackle and loosen themselves from outdated and outsourced delivery models to bring modern services to the public.
Docker Enterprise Edition delivers:

Choice of infrastructure – Gain the freedom to deploy anywhere today and move apps tomorrow. Docker EE is an infrastructure agnostic platform that can be installed on any physical, virtual or cloud infrastructure;
Any application – Common packaging with containers, API and tooling allow for commercial ISV apps, homegrown traditional apps and microservices apps to all benefit from a unified supply chain for consistent security, orchestration and management with Docker EE;
Full stack portability – Docker EE is an application platform allowing developers to define complex service composition, networking, storage, secrets and more at the application level. A separation of concerns allows developers to define app configurations and IT to deploy and manage them on different infrastructures without recoding. Eliminate the “works of my machine” problem, once and for all;
Extensibility – Docker EE provides open interfaces, drivers, webhooks and plugins to easily integrate to a variety of enterprise systems and processes. Certified plugins and containers provide an extra level of quality and assurance with cooperative vendor support for production environments.

Docker is central to enabling digital transformation programs, as the defacto standard and leading container company globally. That message is getting stronger by the day with Docker reaching more than 12 billion image pulls to date. Additionally, there has been tremendous growth on Docker Store, which includes companies such as Oracle, Microsoft and HPE – with the latter two having OEM agreements with Docker.
UK public sector customers now have the opportunity to replicate the success that the commercial market has experienced with Docker implementations, including Global 2000 companies like MetLife and VISA.
We are delighted that two of our key partners in the UK public sector, Amazic and Quru, have been successful in joining the framework. Both companies have included Docker in their domain expertise as part of their product portfolios.

Webinar Q&A: Docker Enterprise Edition Demo

Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship and run business critical applications in production at scale. Docker EE provides a fully integrated solution that includes the container engine, built-in orchestration, a private registry, and container lifecycle management to help you build a secure software supply chain. As an enterprise-grade offering with access to SLA-backed technical support and validated integrations to leading 3rd party images, plug-ins, and infrastructure, Docker EE can help organizations deliver Containers as a Service (CaaS) to improve IT efficiency, make applications more portable for the public cloud, and more secure through a smaller attack surface and image signing and scanning.

Watch the following webinar as Moni Sallam and I highlight some key use cases for Docker Enterprise Edition and how it differs from Community Edition. Moni also provides a demo of how end-to-end container lifecycle management can be securely controlled through Docker EE.

Here are some of the top questions from the live session:
Q: Can we Dockerize Windows apps?
A: Yes! Docker has partnered with Microsoft to deliver a native Docker container platform with Windows Server 2016. Docker containers can also be run on Windows Server and Windows 10 for a consistent Docker user experience, leveraging the same commands as Docker for Linux environments. Further, we recently announced our Modernizing Traditional Apps (MTA) program which is a service offering to help you containerize your .NET applications. This service offering leverages the image2docker tools to help you onboard quickly into Docker with your Windows apps.
Q: Could an on-premises Docker EE manage both Linux and Windows containers?
A: Yes. The Docker EE management UI, is installed on Linux hosts, but we previewed at DockerCon US 2017 the ability to manage both Windows and Linux workers in the same cluster.
Q: What versions of Windows and Linux are supported across Community Edition and Enterprise Edition?
A: You can find the latest supported platforms in the Docker documentation: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/#supported-platforms 
Q: Is Docker for AWS in the Enterprise Edition or Community Edition?
A: It is available in both Community Edition and Enterprise Edition, but commercial support is only available with Enterprise Edition.
Q: Any plans to certify Google Cloud as a supported IaaS?
A: Yes, Beta for Docker for Google Cloud Platform was announced in March 2017. It is designed to make it quick and easy to install, leveraging native Google Cloud Platform constructs, it’s simple to upgrade, and includes self-healing and auto recovery from infrastructure failures. Find out more here or sign up at beta.docker.com.
Q: Is the dashboard a Docker EE feature? Is it similar to vCenter in VMware?
A: Yes, the management UI and dashboard is part of the Universal Control Plane which is available with Docker EE Standard and Advanced. In a way, it is similar to vCenter to manage virtual machines in that Docker EE manages containers. It allows you to visually manage your swarm cluster and containers, while also setting up RBAC and access rules.
Q: Is Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) built on “Docker registry”? Is it available for on-prem implementation or is it tied to Docker Hub? What’s the difference between DTR, Docker Hub, and Docker Store?
A: Docker Trusted Registry uses the open source registry as a component within the application.  In addition, DTR provides additional advanced capabilities around security (eg. image signing, image scanning) and access controls (eg. LDAP/AD integration, RBAC). It is intended to be a private registry for you to install either in your data center or in your cloud environment. Docker Hub is now part of Docker Store which is a public, hosted image library. Docker Store contains both community-contributed as well as certified images, but they are all publicly accessible repositories.
Q: How does Docker EE integrate with tools like Kubernetes or Amazon ECS? Can you still use DTR with Kubernetes?
A: Docker EE is a fully integrated solution, but the parts are swappable. Docker EE includes built-in swarm mode orchestration for host clustering and container scheduling providing an integrated experience. Companies who choose to use Kubernetes orchestration can still leverage Docker EE Basic for a certified and supported container engine and DTR for secure image lifecycle management. Amazon ECS provides its own proprietary orchestration solution with embedded container runtime.
Q: Is there a development version of Docker EE? How can I prototype a full Docker EE environment?
A: Today, you can either download a free 30-day trial of Docker EE from the Docker Store or you can leverage cloud resources and the Hands-on Labs content for a guided experience. Both do require installing Docker on a few nodes. We are also working on some new ways to try Docker EE without having to install anything. Please stay tuned for more on this! Or reach out to your sales rep who can provide a demo.
Q: Where can I find subscription pricing?
A: Pricing for Docker EE and details on support policies are available online at https://www.docker.com/pricing .
