Docker coming to Solaris

An Enterprise Class DevOps Solution

Oracle are bringing Docker into Solaris Zones in the next version of Solaris (12) due out by the end of 2016.  This builds on the inclusion of a full distribution of OpenStack in Oracle Solaris 11.2 last year.

Oracle have made the following statement publicly available:

“The integration will allow enterprise customers to use the Docker open platform to easily distribute applications built and deployed in Oracle Solaris Zones, Oracle Solaris’ built-in virtualization technology. Oracle also plans to make software including Oracle WebLogic Server available for development and testing as Docker images.

Solaris pioneered container technology more than 10 years ago as Solaris Containers. Now known as Oracle Solaris Zones, a majority of Oracle Solaris customers use the technology for its industry-leading scalability and efficiency, as well as comprehensive resource and security isolation, which is critical for enterprise class environments. Oracle Solaris Zones are also widely recognized as license boundaries for most enterprise applications, allowing customers to significantly lower costs.”
