Moving from monolithic apps to microservices
The industry is moving beyond self-contained, isolated, and monolithic apps. New workloads will be part of a connected application fabric—flexibly woven together to serve particular business needs, yet easily torn apart and recomposed.
What are containers?
Linux® containers keep applications and their runtime components together by combining lightweight application isolation with an image-based deployment method. Containers introduce autonomy for applications by packaging apps with the libraries and other binaries on which they depend. This avoids conflicts between apps that otherwise rely on key components of the underlying host operating system. Containers do not contain a(n) (OS) kernel, which makes them faster and more agile than virtual machines. However, it does mean that all containers on a host must use the same kernel.
Standardize the components, reap the benefits
Shipping companies can easily exchange containers—whether they transport by boat, rail, or truck—because the container dimensions comply with international standards. Similar standards need to be established for software containers and their applications.
Advancing containers the open source way
There are still many questions to be answered before containers can be considered enterprise-ready. We're working to advance both container technology and the ecosystem that supports it to make it ready for the enterprise, as we did with Linux.
Today, Red Hat is concentrating on:
- Container portability with deployment across physical hardware, hypervisors, private clouds, and public clouds
- An integrated application delivery platform that spans from app container to deployment target—all built on open standards
- Trusted access to digitally signed container images that are safe to use and have been verified to work on certified container hosts
The microservices approach...dictates that instead of having one giant code base that all developers touch...there are numerous smaller code bases managed by small and agile teams...
This is better for continuous delivery as small units are easier to manage, test and deploy.
