Dear All,<br>
<br>
Docker 1.0 was released recently. Megam is a cloud automation
engine, and would like to support this feature. With the latest
release Docker uses libcontainer.<br>
<br>
Our <b>vision</b> is to enable and simplify running Docker
container images using Megam on OpenNebula. <br>
<br>
<b>Terminology:</b><br>
<ul>
<li>Docker container image : A tiny image which can be unwrapped
and run by "Docker" </li>
<li>Docker container : An instance that is created as a result of
running the Docker container image.</li>
<li>Docker service : A regular Ubuntu or Wheezy VM spinned off by
OpenNebula having the "docker" executable installed.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
Docker helps to run container images very quickly. A Docker
container image is built by an user. So an user builds the Docker
container image and stores it in a docker registry (this can be
public or private). <br>
<br>
An example Docker container image can hold "apache2" or
"postgresql". Recommendation by Docker is to run just one process. <br>
<br>
There are 2 ways in integrating it to OpenNebula.<br>
<br>
<ol>
<li>Docker as a hypervisor which would spin of the user's
container image in the OpenNebula host.</li>
<li>A Docker service which is stood-up and shared by an user.
Multiple Docker container can run inside the stood-up Docker
service. The Docker service will be owned by the user and the
user can stand-up multiple Docker container in it. </li>
</ol>
<br>
We would like to hear the communities feedback and thoughts in
taking it forward. <br>
<br>
Also how are you using Docker today ? How would like to see it being
used in OpenNebula or using an orchestrator on top of it like Megam.<br>
If you haven't started on using Docker, what are the use cases you
are exploring its use ? <br>
