What is vSphere Integrated Containers?
vSphere Integrated Containers comprises of two components:
- VMware vSphere Integrated Containers Engine, the container runtime for vSphere, allows developers who are familiar with Docker to develop in containers and deploy them alongside traditional VM-based workloads on vSphere clusters. vSphere admins can manage these workloads through the vSphere Web Client in a way that is familiar.
vSphere Integrated Containers 1.0 includes vSphere Integrated Containers Engine 0.8.
- VMware vSphere Integrated Containers Registry, also known as VMware Harbor™, is an enterprise-class container registry server that stores and distributes container images. Harbor extends the Docker Distribution open source project by adding the functionalities usually required by an enterprise, such as security, identity and management.
vSphere Integrated Containers 1.0 includes vSphere Integrated Containers Registry 0.5.
With these capabilities, vSphere Integrated Containers enables VMware customers to deliver a production-ready container solution to their developers and app teams. By leveraging their existing SDDC, customers can run container-based applications alongside existing virtual machine based workloads in production without having to build out a separate, specialized container infrastructure stack. As an added benefit for customers and partners, vSphere Integrated Containers is modular. So if your organization already has a container registry in production, you can use that registry with vSphere Integrated Containers Engine.
Localization
vSphere Integrated Containers 1.0 is only available in English.
