2015 SAP TechEd Conference Presentation in Las Vegas: The Docker and Container Ecosystem Containers are driving change throughout the developer community. Based on the October 20 release of our ebook "The Docker and Container Ecosystem," The New Stack describes how Docker and other open-source companies have grown to foster an ecosystem supporting enterprise use of containers. Attend this session to learn about new tools and features being created to allow the use of containers in continuous deployment pipelines, PaaS, and orchestration software, as well as cloud infrastructure.

Speed
Portability
Simplification of Deployment

7. Container Adoption Strategies
•Go after low-hanging fruit
•Update build and deploy processes
•Go “container first”
• Standardize base images

Script that checks for deployment best
practices.
Weave Net
Tool that connects containers into a
transparent, dynamic and resilient mesh.

20. Technical Issues Drive Demand
“Complexity in getting from dev to production
efficiently. Existing alternatives are complex and
constraining… large management overhead.”
“Challenges dealing with security and
compliance in public, private, hybrid and multi-
cloud environments, including gaining visibility
into the security state of containers and
microservices.”

Q. What are the technical issues that drive a customer to use your product or service? The
quotes included on this page were curated from all 42 responses.

21. Cont’d: Technical Issues Drive Demand
“The need to modernize infrastructure in order
to capitalize on the business opportunity driven
by the emergence of container-dependent
technologies in the cloud services marketplace.”
“Docker/containers in production (at scale) is a
lot of work and hassle; pain of handling
servers/clusters at scale; technical overhead for
server operations; moving to microservices
architectures comes with a lot of hurdles.

Q. What are the technical issues that drive a customer to use your product or service? The
quotes included on this page were curated from all 42 responses.

22. “Want to use containers in production while
changing as little else as possible.”
“Managing their own continuous delivery
platform is a distraction from working on their
product. Furthermore a scalable CD
infrastructure that grows with your team is a lot
of work. They much rather have somebody else
take care of scalability, security and
maintenance.”

decisions regarding technologies and partnerships to your own company’s plans? n=40. Docker’s
response was excluded.
Partnering with Docker

“Our PaaS is… our own
custom implementation
from before Docker
existed. We’re… migrating
some of our internal
components to Docker,
Diego, Kubernetes or
similar open source
solutions, now that there
are solid ones available.”
