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

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 .

Online meetup recap: Introduction to LinuxKit

At DockerCon 2017 we introduced LinuxKit: A toolkit for building secure, lean and portable Linux subsystems. For this Online Meetup, Docker Technical Staff member Rolf Neugebauer gave an introduction to LinuxKit, explained the rationale behind its development and gave a demo on how to get started using it.

Watch the recording and slides

Additional Q&A
You said the ONBOOT containers are run sequentially, does it wait for one to finish before it starts the next?
Yes, the nest ONBOOT container is only started once the previous one finished.
How do you make our own kernel to use?
See ./docs/kernels.md
How you would install other software that is not a container per say – eg sshd?
Everything apart from the init process and runc/containerd run in a container. There is an example under ./examples/sshd.yml on how to run a SSH server.
Can I load kernel modules – iptables/conntrack for example?
Yes. You can compile modules and add them to the image as described in ./docs/kernels.md. There is an open issue to allow compilation of kernel modules at run time.
Does it have to be Alpine linux – can it be say minimal Debian?
We mainly use Alpine for packages. The base rootfile system is basically busybox with a minimal init system, which we are planning to replace with a custom init program. You can create packages with Debian, if you like.
How we make data persistent like docker volumes to outside of linuxkit box?
There are examples on how to format/mount and use persistent disks, e.g., ./examples/docker.yml which uses a persistent disk to store docker images.
Bonus Talk: LinuxKit Security SIG

Announcing the Docker Student Developer Kit & Campus Ambassador Program!

For quite some time now we have been receiving daily requests from students all over the world, asking for our help learning Docker, using Docker and teaching their peers how to use Docker. We love their enthusiasm, so we decided it was time to reach out to the student community and give them the helping hand they need!

Understanding how to use Docker is now a must have skill for students. Here are 5 reasons why:

Understanding how to use Docker is one of the most important skills to learn if you want to advance in a career in tech, according to Business Insider.
You can just start coding instead of spending time setting up your environment.
You can collaborate easily with your peers and enable seamless group work: Docker eliminates any ‘works on my machine’ issues.
Docker allows you to easily build applications with a modern microservices architecture.
Using Docker will greatly enhance the security of your applications.

Getting Started with Docker
Are you a student who is excited about the prospect of using Docker but still don’t know exactly what Docker is or where to start learning? Now that your finals are over and you have all this free time on your hands, it’s the perfect time for you to get started! Here are a couple of resources to get you up to speed in time for the fall semester:

Get Started with Docker (official documentation)
Introduction to Docker Presentation (slides)
Docker Beginner labs (Self paced training)

The Docker Student Developer Kit
We know that many college students are eager to learn and use Docker but don’t have the money to build, ship and run their apps with Docker on their favorite cloud. We really understand all the associated costs of being a student like tuition, textbooks, lab materials, video games, etc. so we decided they deserved our assistance. That is why we are giving 5 private repos from Docker Cloud to every student for free for one year! What is Docker Cloud? Docker Cloud provides a hosted registry service with build and testing facilities for Dockerized application images; tools to help you set up and manage host infrastructure; and application lifecycle features to automate deploying services created from images (read more here).
The Docker Student Developer Kit will also contain access to many free images from Docker Store publishers (100s of Enterprise grade images and 1000s of Community images)! As if all that wasn’t enough, cloud providers Azure, AWS and DigitalOcean are also feeling generous and are offering substantial cloud credits to the first 150 students who apply for the kit! Get your Student Developer Kit by applying here! Just make sure to put your school-issued email address, an upload of your student card and specify your preferred cloud provider!
Docker in Higher Education Community Directory
In redeeming the Docker Student Developer Kit, students will also have access to the Docker in Higher Education Community Directory and the Docker Community Slack team, including the #docker-students channel. The benefits of this are twofold; students will receive updates on Docker community events, activities, and programs including exclusive invitations and promo codes to DockerCon and other community events; and they will be able to network easily with like-minded students and teachers from across the globe. The directory allows search of other members by location or interest, private messaging and group discussions on the slack channel without sharing email addresses. The possibilities for collaboration are limitless!
The Docker Campus Ambassador Program

For those students who are already using Docker and want to initiate and foster a Docker community on their college campus, we have created the Docker Campus Ambassador program. This program is for students of any discipline, who already have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of Docker and want to run events (workshops, talks, show and tells etc.) to help their peers learn Docker. Students who are accepted into this program will receive exclusive training from Docker to learn both technical and professional skills, privileged access to the latest Docker editions, admission to all Beta programs, discounted and free tickets to community events like DockerCon and of course… lots of swag!  Students who apply to this program should be leaders on campus and have a knack for organizing and catalyzing groups of people. If this is you, please read the guidelines and apply to the Campus Ambassadors program here.
