"Here You can find ready to download virtual machines with preinstalled different Open Source Unix and Linux operating systems. Each virtual machine on this website has been prepared using VMware Player technology."

SoftNAS™ is business-class network attached storage (NAS) delivered as software as a service.  The NAS software virtual appliance runs within your cloud computing environment (e.g., Amazon EC2) or local virtual server environment (e.g., VMware vSphere) and manages the available raw disk storage, providing enterprise-grade storage capabilities. SoftNAS leverages a number of open source technologies, including ZFS on Linux.  ZFS on Linux is a port of the popular ZFS filesystem originally produced by Sun Microsystems and released with OpenSolaris.  SoftNAS builds on the robust, solid foundation of ZFS and its powerful, extensible Linux foundation.

"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."

Mientras tanto, en un lado de la brecha: Why Vagrant? Vagrant provides easy to configure, reproducible, and portable work environments built on top of industry-standard technology and controlled by a single consistent workflow to help maximize the productivity and flexibility of you and your team. To achieve its magic, Vagrant stands on the shoulders of giants. Machines are provisioned on top of VirtualBox, VMware, AWS, or any other provider. Then, industry-standard provisioning tools such as shell scripts, Chef, or Puppet, can be used to automatically install and configure software on the machine.
