The ultimate evolution of Docker

The ultimate evolution of Docker
Guide
In the past six months, many changes have taken place around Docker security, storage, and orchestration. These changes make it easier for users to use Docker, and also cause a huge earthquake in the entire container ecosystem.

With the security, storage, and orchestration of containers, the entire ecosystem has undergone rapid changes over the past few months. What you know about Docker in spring may no longer be true. The following is a summary of the changes in the entire container ecosystem since then.

Six months ago, Docker seemed not ready for the enterprise-level market. At that time, Docker containers lacked user-friendly storage solutions, security issues were still under considerable attention, and orchestration tools were not mature, which were not well integrated with Docker itself.

However, now half a year later, everything has changed. Compared with the spring of 2016, Docker has become more confident in the enterprise market. Thanks for the following updates:

• The new container security tool has been integrated. In particular, CoreOs Clair and Docker Security Scanning ensure the Security of images on the registration server.
• Container storage is simplified. Six months ago, manually configuring Docker data volumes was the preferred solution for creating persistent storage for containers. But now the situation is quite different: In May, Red Hat launched the GlusterFs-based "iner-native" persistent Storage Project, CoreOs launched Torus, and another persistent storage solution. Other vendors, such as Rancher, are still developing their own storage solutions for enterprise-class applications.
• Container orchestration is more rational. Docker directly integrated swarm into the platform (of course, Docker is still compatible with other orchestration tools ). Red Hat's Openshift platform has been using Kubernetes as an orchestration tool and is now integrated with other orchestration tools.

Partner ecosystem changes

Not only that, but Docker's partner's ecosystem has undergone dramatic changes since the spring, integrating Swarm into Docker means that partners will shift their attention from container orchestration to other challenges such as storage, security, and monitoring. In the field of monitoring, container quasi-Data Analysis Platforms from vendors such as Splunk and Sumo Logic are particularly attractive. They provide better monitoring capabilities for containerized infrastructure.

From an ecological perspective, another important point is the discussion about Docker branches. Red Hat's new OCID project makes some people think that the Docker branch has appeared. Whether you agree or not, the entire ecosystem has formed a deeper competition for containerized standards. Finally, it is worth noting that Docker has added support for the Windows platform. This is a huge change, which will bring more users and vendors into the container market, because you no longer need to work on Linux to use Docker.

If you still think Docker is a very stable technology, it is time to review this point of view from the enhancements to Docker in the last six months.
