The market is more and more dynamic and wealthy in terms of innovations, adoption, emerging players and streamlined portfolio of services and technologies.
One can easily observe that, emerging companies are focused on building,
orchestrating, and supporting containers in a variety of ways. An interesting
approach susceptible to change the industry.
For those who are unfamiliar, containers make it practical to create and
deploy applications in a microservices format that are usable and manageable,
accessible through stable APIs, and individually upgradeable without impact to
other container-based microservices.
CoreOS Inc., Docker, and Mesosphere
were all named as IDC Innovators in container technology for 2016.
One can recall that:
CoreOS promises to bring Google-like infrastructure to
enterprise customers that don't care to deploy directly into the Google Compute
Engine cloud. The company is part of the growing, and increasingly competitive
container construction, deployment and orchestration/management market.
Mesosphere is competing in the quickly emerging container
orchestration and management market.
Docker has revolutionized the way applications are
architected and deployed, thanks to its innovative and developer-friendly
packaging format that makes it practical to build modular,
microservice-oriented applications.
