shield Initial update for the containers-module
SUSE-SLE-Module-Containers-12-2015-287


This recommended update provides the initial version of docker and its dependencies including images for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 and 11-SP3 for the Containers-Module. 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 provides pre-built images from a verified and trusted source. In addition, customers can create an on-premise registry behind the enterprise firewall, minimizing exposure to malicious attacks and providing better control of intellectual property. As integral parts of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Docker and containers provide additional virtualization options to improve operational efficiency. SUSE Linux Enterprise Server includes the Xen and KVM hypervisors and is a perfect guest in virtual and cloud environments. With the addition of Docker, customers can build, ship and run containerized applications on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server in physical, virtual or cloud environments. The efficient YaST management framework provides a simple overview of the available Docker images and allows customers to run and easily control Docker containers. In addition, the KIWI image-building tool has been extended to support the Docker build format. SUSE's current Docker offering supports x86-64 servers with support for other hardware platforms in the works.
