Photon Controller: An Open Source Container Infrastructure Platform from VMware
Download as PPTX, PDF1 like1,887 views
This document summarizes a presentation about VMware's open source Photon Platform, which is optimized for running container workloads at scale. It discusses how Photon Platform uses the Photon Controller distributed management plane and Photon Machine compute hosts to provide a cloud-native platform that can support hundreds of thousands of containers. It also demonstrates deploying a Docker Swarm cluster on top of Photon Platform through the Photon API and controller.

- 4. Docker is a “shipping container for code” 4 Developers because … • Frictionless deployment and maximum portability On developer laptop: Then on server: That’s it!! • A natural fit for 3rd Platform, 12 factor, microservices • It makes DevOps much, much easier 4 ~# docker build my_app ~# docker push my_app ~# ~# docker pull my_app ~# docker run my_app ~#
