How well does Docker play with others? | #DockerCon

With so much technology being developed year round, one word becomes more and more important: integration. Containerization platform provider Docker is helping to bring various companies and data streams together, one integration at a time.

Marianna Tessel, SVP of Engineering at Docker, Inc., talked with John Furrier (@furrier) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during the DockerCon 2016 event about the Docker software containerization platform ecosystem.

All aboard!

Docker is an environment that’s very open to a variety of software and hardware. There is a wide range of plugins that allow a multitude of developers to join the Docker ecosystem. Docker seeks to integrate hardware and software at the ease of the consumer. Docker, Inc. has even worked with Hewlett-Packard to create a framework that integrates to Docker’s commercial products.

In order to deliver a product that helps create a seamless integration environment, many of Docker’s partnerships are very “technical in nature,” says Tessel.

What’s the point?

Docker looks at three main things when interacting with its users: Are there complementary products, will the integration add value, and is there a desire for the product? With those things in mind, Docker can create an environment that is beneficial for an enterprise, as well as the ecosystem it inhabits.

Docker maintains a “robust relationship” with its partners to deliver an ecosystem that’s amenable for everyone, Tessel explained.

Who’s at the dock?

There’s “white space” for developers to integrate and innovate in the Docker ecosystem, says Tessel. This room for innovation creates an environment that feels friendly and allows for creative solutions to problems.

Docker’s flexibility and multiple entry points makes it a product that functions well with other container and cloud technologies.

According to Tessel, Docker wants to help users choose a variety of programming routes by creating a “diversified view of infrastructure.” This could help change the way users and whole enterprises interact.
