New Software Defined Networking (SDN), Dynamic Plugin Architecture and Orchestration Capabilities Enhance Extensibility for Third-Party Ecosystem, While Expanding Freedom of Choice for Users
Docker, the project behind the open platform for distributed applications, today announced powerful new capabilities that strengthen the portability of multi-container distributed applications including Docker multi-host SDN and enhancements for its three orchestration tools. Dockerized distributed applications are 100 percent portable, dynamic, composable and backed by the industry’s broadest ecosystem. Through collaborative efforts with its partner ecosystem, the Docker open platform also offers a new, dynamic plugin model that dramatically simplifies how third-party tools are integrated with the platform and presented as full-featured “batteries” for developers and sysadmins.
