Google, Microsoft, IBM, Intel and other manufacturers together to push open container standards

Based help Linux Foundation, Docker, CoreOS, Google, Microsoft, Amazon currently working to establish a new standard for software container. Other members of the alliance include Apcera, Cisco (Cisco), EMC, Fujitsu (Fujitsu Limited), Goldman Sachs (Goldman Sachs), Hewlett-Packard (HP), Huawei, IBM, Intel (Intel), Joyent, Mesosphere, Pivotal, Rancher Labs, Red Hat (Red Hat) That is, to build a prosperous container ecosystem, almost every company will provide financial assistance and VMware--.
Docker container may become synonymous with technology, but it is not the only vessel technology, and not everyone agrees that it should become a standard container technology. Last December, CoreOS announced the launch of its own container technology (rkt) and formats (appc), this project is supported by some of the major players such as Google, Red Hat and VMware's.
At that time, Docker and CoreOS looks have been trouble, despite having more container formats can not help the whole ecosystem.
But now, in the arrangement of the Linux Foundation, the two companies will work together with other stakeholders to jointly build an open container technology project (OCP). OCP is a non-profit organization, which chartered the vessel to establish a common software technology standards.
Docker container format and running time will become the basis for a new standard, and Docker will donate draft specifications and image formats and execution engine code to start the project.
The central idea here is that no matter Docker or CoreOS rkt, or, as Kurma and Jetpack project, developers should be able to put their applications packaged in a container, and believe it can run on any operating time. This standard should be vendor-neutral, and developers should be open.
"With the publication of an open container project, Docker tell the world that they are discussing this project for a fully open", CoreOS founder and CEO Alex Polvi wrote. "Today is the actual image format vessel Docker, so this is a great starting point as a standard. We still feel that there are many technical problems in the existing Docker format, but occupy a neutral seat will help to solve the whole of these industries . "
For Docker concerned, it also means giving up some control. "Upon receipt of the partners and customers of feedback from the community, we believe this is the right time to create a common standard that will ensure that the entire eco-system compatibility, and encourage innovation," Docker Rource Source Initiative founder and creator of Solomon Hykes today in a statement said this.
"It is for this reason that we donate container format and run for the development of standards. We believe that after two years, Docker container runtime code and technology will mature, they will benefit from the independent management of the project .Docker than Docker Get together community has the power to avoid splitting. "
I also consulted with Google's Craig McLuckie cloud platform product manager, I asked what he thought of the new initiatives. In his view, this will make the ecosystem more robust container. "This will create an open community to drive future versions Vessel Code; Vessel Code itself hardly ever given, and the first program will bring a lot of ideas, in terms of the cause Docker AppC ecosystems huge success," McLuckie told I.
"It will ensure that innovation actually occurs, and the way this generation so that everyone will benefit from a particular vendor for free." He also believes that a single standard will enable the company to build container packaged software easier survival, because they will be able to lock in a format which can then be used for multiple ecosystems and the environment. "This innovation provides a flexible operating environment, because any new initiatives that could directly benefit from the ecosystem of existing tools," he said.
It is worth mentioning that, in the long run Docke business model is not bound to a container format, but to build a tool that vessel deployment. Although the company is clearly interested in the future boot software container, but its main interest is to focus on the idea to build a vibrant ecosystem. The company has a broad alliance to participate in the creation of a single container standards in the long run, it will make it fulfill this mission.
