From LXD to Kubernetes to Docker, Canonical has partnered with industry leaders to offer a full range of technologies and services to run containers at scale on public, private and hybrid or bare metal clouds.
This white paper explains why containers are so popular and how to leverage them in your organisation. Learn the benefits of process containers and machine containers. Deep-dive into the two main software tools, Docker and LXD, that are used to manipulate containers.
Move your existing Linux VMs straight to containers, easily, without modifying the apps or your operations. LXD’s machine containers operate just like virtual machines.
Run an unmodified Linux operating system and applications with VM-style operations at incredible speed with zero latency.
LXD’s pure-container approach to Linux virtualisation offers dramatic density advantages over VMware ESX and Linux KVM for private and public cloud infrastructure.
Looking for a container orchestration system to help build your microservice-based app? Canonical’s Kubernetes is simple and naturally elastic.
Modelled using Juju, Canonical’s Kubernetes includes all operational scripting and tooling needed to manage a long-lived cluster, including upgrades and elastic scaling.
Can be easily integrated with Prometheus for monitoring, Ceph for storage and Elastic Stack including Kibana for analysis and visualisations.
We work closely with Docker Inc. to deliver an integrated Commercially Supported Docker Engine offering on Ubuntu.
The Docker Engine images are published as snap package which update automatically and transactionally.
Canonical provides Level 1 and Level 2 technical support for the CS Docker Engine and are backed by Docker Inc. for Level 3 support.
