"In 2010 we led the seed round for Docker (formerly known as dotCloud) for one simple reason: devops means that the way applications are packaged, deployed, and run is fundamentally changing (though Docker's business model has evolved since its early days as a PaaS vendor, the fundamental premise is the same).  Rather than requiring custom configurations and painstaking management, Docker "containerizes" applications components such that every container is lightweight and behaves consistently.  Applications and their underlying components can be programmatically deployed, managed and moved on ever-changing cloud infrastructure without a hint of operating system or hardware configuration.  In a pre-Docker world, companies with tremendous and evolving application demands looked to virtualization as a way of abstracting their infrastructure, but paid a tax in dollars and performance for doing so. In the future we think of Docker will take the mantle as the VMware of the devops world, with containers as the ultimate devops platform."

"Deis (pronounced DAY-iss) is an open source PaaS that makes it easy to deploy and manage applications on your own servers. Deis builds upon Docker and CoreOS to provide a lightweight PaaS with a Heroku-inspired workflow. Deis can deploy any application or service that can run inside a Docker container. In order to be scaled horizontally, applications must follow Heroku's 12-factor methodology and store state in external backing services."

Arquillian brings the test to the runtime so you don't have to manage the runtime from the test (or the build). Arquillian eliminates this burden by covering all aspects of test execution, which includes: Managing the lifecycle of the container (or containers) Bundling the test case, dependent classes and resources into a ShrinkWrap archive (or archives) Deploying the archive (or archives) to the container (or containers) Enriching the test case by providing dependency injection and other declarative services Executing the tests inside (or against) the container Capturing the results and returning them to the test runner for reporting

Gemini Blueprint project makes it easy to build Java applications that run in an OSGi framework. By using Gemini Blueprint, applications benefit from using a better separation of modules, the ability to dynamically add, remove, and update modules in a running system, the ability to deploy multiple versions of a module simultaneously (and have clients automatically bind to the appropriate one), and a dynamic service model.

"Joyent Triton™ is designed from the ground up to radically simplify container deployments in production, at scale, while delivering enterprise-grade security, software-defined networking, and bare-metal performance. Deploy Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure in your datacenter or leverage the Triton Elastic Container Infrastructure Service in the Joyent Public Cloud."

"OpenAM centralizes authentication by using a variety of authentication modules. Authentication modules connect to identity repositories that store identities and provide authentication services. The identity repositories can be implemented as LDAP directories, relational databases, RADIUS, Windows authentication, one-time password services, other standards-based access management systems and much more."

"But when Mark Russinovich, Microsoft's CTO for Azure, took the stage at Build 2015 in San Francisco Wednesday morning to demonstrate how containerized microservices applications work in Windows Server. [...] As is his wont, he dove right in to a demonstration of using Docker Build (on a PowerShell command line) to package and deploy an ASP.NET web site as a Docker container. [...] He took only a few seconds to package the web site into a container image, then he ran the package with the docker run command. [...] And then he paused, took the temperature of the room, and may have recognized that Windows developers may have been completely confused by what they were seeing. [...] So Russinovich asked for a show of hands of folks in the room who might have heard of something called Linux. (Don't worry, he's done this before.) [...] He then used a new build of Visual Studio, running in Windows, to publish the container to the Linux host. He then proceeded to debug the running Linux app, including setting a remote breakpoint, from Visual Studio. [...] Without saying so explicitly, Mark Russinovich was obsoleting much of Windows Server before developers' eyes."

"Today we announce Otto - the successor to Vagrant. Otto is the single solution to develop and deploy any application, with first class support for microservices. "

"Today we are very excited to introduce our Docker-based infrastructure stack (codename: Ewok). This release enables you to use Docker containers in your build and deploy pipelines as opposed to our classic boxes."

"CFEngine is an IT infrastructure automation framework that helps engineers, system administrators and other stakeholders in an IT organization manage and understand IT infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. CFEngine takes systems from Build to Deploy, Manage and Audit."

"Helios is a Docker orchestration platform for deploying and managing containers across an entire fleet. [...] We at Spotify are running this in production now (as of early July 2014) with a money-generating service, so we trust it. Whether you should trust it to not cause smoking holes in your infrastructure is up to you."

"Cloudbreak is a RESTful Hadoop as a Service API. Once it is deployed in your favourite servlet container exposes a REST API allowing to span up Hadoop clusters of arbitrary sizes on your selected cloud provider. Provisioning Hadoop has never been easier. Cloudbreak is built on the foundation of cloud providers API (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Compute...), Apache Ambari, Docker containers, Serf and dnsmasq."

"Tsuru is an extensible and open source Platform as a Service software. Deploy Fast and secure. The entire process is really simple with no special tools needed, just a simple git push. Scale Scaling in Tsuru is completely painless. Just add a unit and Tsuru will take care of everything else. Extend Tsuru is built to be extensible. Through services you can provide anything your application needs."

Why a transition to microservices and cloud development is necessary and why monolithic architectures aren't an option anymore. How to implement Docker in a cloud and continuously integrated environment and what the typical Docker-run applications look like. How NGINX and NGINX Plus can help support your migration to the modern way of building, deploying, and scaling applications.

"Apache Wookie is a Java server application that allows you to upload and deploy widgets for your applications; widgets can not only include all the usual kinds of mini-applications, badges, and gadgets, but also fully-collaborative applications such as chats, quizzes, and games."

"What is Aurora? Platforms like Twitter operate across tens of thousands of machines, with hundreds of engineers deploying software daily. In this type of environment, automation is critical. Aurora is software that keeps services running in the face of many types of failure, and provides engineers a convenient, automated way to create and update these services. To accomplish this, Aurora leverages the Apache Mesos cluster manager, which provides information about the state of the cluster. Aurora uses that knowledge to make scheduling decisions. For example, when a machine experiences failure Aurora automatically reschedules those previously-running services onto a healthy machine in order to keep them running."
