SUSE Elevates Docker in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12NUREMBERG, Germany, June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SUSE® today announced significant enhancements to its container toolset, further embracing Docker as an integral component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. SUSE now fully supports Docker in production environments and has added an option for customers to build a private on-premise registry to host container images in a controlled and secure environment. These enhancements further strengthen Docker as an application deployment tool, helping customers significantly improve operational efficiency. "The advent of virtualization reduced the time needed to bring up a server from hours to minutes; containers and Docker have reduced that time to seconds," said Ralf Flaxa, SUSE vice president of engineering. "SUSE has long participated in the evolution of lightweight and efficient container deployment technology, with the inclusion of Docker in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 last year and our support for Linux containers in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 for several years before that. This is another example of SUSE's commitment to providing innovative technologies for enterprise customers." Fully supported as part of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12, enterprise-ready Docker from SUSE improves operational efficiency and is accompanied by easy-to-use tools to build, deploy and manage containers.
SUSE's current Docker offering supports x86-64 servers with support for other hardware platforms in the works. Integration with SUSE Manager for lifecycle management is also planned.
