>sdc-docker (the tech behind this, Triton) basically lets you just keep deploying containers without any regard for the actual underlying machines (or EC2 instances, DO droplets, Linodes) that you are actually deploying to. It's like docker-machine + docker-swarm but all automatic and managed by guys on the other side of the curtain, so you can just write the checks and keep the Docker goodness flowing.
Not sure I get this - Is this any different from mesos/kubernetes? If I am running this software and deploying my own datacenter someone stills need to provision the machines.
- jgrowl 12y agoI'm still fuzzy on this also, but it sounded like it would fill a very similar role as kubernetes except that they are claiming superior performance.
- lloydde 12y agoYou've got it. This is a complete stack (sdc + lx-brand, sdc-docker, vxlan/portolan) fully benefiting from Illumos's architected OS virtualization.
- misterbisson 12y agoActually, because the container runs on bare metal, there's no need to provision virtual machines before running containers. Yes, the data center operator needs to install the hardware compute nodes, but after that there's no additional step to provision anything else but the containers themselves.
