What the Analysts Say “ ”

“By 2016, DevOps Will Evolve From a Niche to a Mainstream

Strategy Employed by 25 Percent of Global 2000 Organizations”

“…with the total for DevOps tools reaching $2.3B in 2015 (up

21% yoy)”

“DevOps-ready tools have seen and will continue to see the

SDA / Docker Integration Steps

How Containers work

• Containers are isolated environments that

are created from docker images.

• All the layers in an image are read-only

except the topmost layer which is called a

container.

• You can commit the changes made to a

container and make a new image out of it.

• If specific images are not present in the

host, docker will download it from the

docker hub

How Microservices Work

http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html

26

Containers – not just docker!

27

Do they work?

Google, deals with more than two billion containers per

week. That’s a lot of containers to manage. Popular

Google services such as Gmail, Search, Apps and Maps

run inside containers.

“Containers are faster, more efficient and easier to manage than Virtual Environments.”
