Docker<\/a> appears to be searching for ways to simplify the core value proposition of the company \u2014 creating, deploying and managing containers. While most would agree it has revolutionized software development, like many technology solutions, it takes a certain level of expertise and staffing to pull off. At DockerCon, the company\u2019s customer conference taking place this week in San Francisco, Docker <\/a> announced several ways it could help customers with the tough parts of implementing a containerized solution.<\/p>\n

For starters, the company announced a beta of Docker Enterprise 3.0<\/a> this morning. That update is all about making life simpler for developers. As companies move to containerized environments, it\u2019s a challenge for all but the largest organizations like Google, Amazon and Facebook, all of whom have massive resource requirements and correspondingly large engineering teams.<\/p>\n

Most companies don\u2019t have that luxury though, and Docker recognizes if it wants to bring containerization to a larger number of customers, it has to create packages and programs that make it easier to implement.<\/p>\n

Docker Enterprise 3.0 is a step toward providing a solution that lets developers concentrate on the development aspects, while working with templates and other tools to simplify the deployment and management side of things.<\/p>\n

The company sees customers struggling with implementation and how to configure and build a containerized workflow, so it is working with systems integrators to help smooth out the difficult parts. Today, the company announced Docker Enterprise as a Service, with the goal of helping companies through the process of setting up and managing a containerized environment, using the Docker stack and adjacent tooling like Kubernetes.<\/p>\n

The service provider will take care of operational details like managing upgrades, rolling out patches, doing backups and undertaking capacity planning \u2014 all of those operational tasks that require a high level of knowledge around enterprise container stacks.<\/p>\n

Capgemini will be the first go-to-market partner. \u201cCapgemini has a combination of automation, technology tools, as well as services on the back end that can manage the installation, provisioning and management of the enterprise platform itself in cases where customers don\u2019t want to do that, and they want to pay someone to do that for them,\u201d Scott Johnston, chief product officer at Docker told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

The company has released tools in the past to help customers move legacy applications into containers without a lot of fuss. Today, the company announced a solution bundle called Accelerate Greenfield, a set of tools designed to help customers get up and running as container-first development companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is for those organizations that may be a little further along. They\u2019ve gone all-in on containers committing to taking a container-first approach to new application development,\u201d Johnston explained. He says this could be cloud native microservices or even a LAMP stack application, but the point is that they want to put everything in containers on a container platform.<\/p>\n

Accelerate Greenfield is designed to do that. \u201cThey get the benefits where they know that from the developer to the production end point, it\u2019s secure. They have a single way to define it all the way through the life cycle. They can make sure that it\u2019s moving quickly, and they have that portability built into the container format, so they can deploy [wherever they wish],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

These programs and products are all about providing a level of hand-holding, either by playing a direct consultative role, working with a systems integrator or providing a set of tools and technologies to walk the customer through the containerization life cycle. Whether they provide a sufficient level of help that customers require is something we will learn over time as these programs mature.<\/p>\n
