New data center brings security, integration and choice to Nordic region

Demand for turnkey cloud solutions is on the rise in the Nordic countries. By 2019, the cloud market is expected to reach a whopping $18 billion.
Enterprises in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland aren’t just looking for cloud capabilities, though. They’re also looking for ways to ensure security, perform hybrid integration and choose the absolute best cloud services for them.

IBM has opened its brand new IBM Cloud Nordic Data Center — the 48th to open worldwide and the 12th in Europe — in Fetsund, Norway, to address just those challenges. The data center, located about 30 km outside of Oslo, enables local organizations to access the full IBM portfolio of cloud services, including Bluemix and Watson, to run critical workloads close to home.
Though the center itself is in Norway, Swedish customers will have a point of presence in their home country to ensure high-speed connections to the IBM Cloud network.
In addition to ensuring network speed, the local data center will help companies keep up with regulatory requirements. The data center is compliant with European Union data and privacy regulations and the upcoming 2018 General Data Protection Regulation.
Cloud bare metal capabilities will help clients extend onto the cloud securely, an open source approach and innovative cloud platform offer them choice, and a hybrid cloud approach will help them make the best possible choices on their cloud journeys.
“We are committed to providing global and local clients the fastest and easiest onramp to the IBM Cloud to accelerate their digital transformation,” said Robert LeBlanc, senior vice president of IBM Cloud. “This investment will provide Nordic customers, especially those in regulated industries, with more flexibility to manage and gain insight into data within the region.”
The new cloud data center demonstrates the commitment of IBM to foster the growth of cognitive and artificial intelligence technologies throughout the region. Developers will have access to Bluemix – IBM’s Cloud innovation platform – and more than 150 APIs and services spanning key areas such as cognitive, blockchain, Internet of Things and big data.

Live Debugging Java in Docker – Just in time for JavaOne!

Developing Java web applications often requires that they can be deployed on multiple technology stacks. These typically include an application server and a database, but these components can vary from deployment to deployment. Building and managing multiple development stacks in a development environment can be a time consuming task often requiring unique configurations for each stack.
Docker can simplify the process of building and maintaining develop environments for Java web applications by building custom images that application developers can create on demand and use for development, testing and debugging applications. We have recently published a tutorial for building a Java web application using containers and three popular Java IDEs.  Docker enables developers to debug their code as it runs in containers. The tutorial covers setting up a debug session with an application server in Docker using IDEs that developers typically use such as Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA and Netbeans. Developers can build the application, change code, and set breakpoints while the application is running in the container. The tutorials use a simple Spring MVC application to illustrate how use containers when developing Java applications
The tutorial is available on GitHub in our Docker Labs repository. These tutorials show you how to:

Configure Eclipse, IntelliJ, and Netbeans
Set-up the project
Debug your application live in the container

You can go to the tutorials, or follow along in these videos:

The tutorial uses common stack components, but the Docker enables you to build development environments using components from different technology stacks. For most use cases, Docker provides a way to quickly create and deploy a consistent development environment in Java.
Have any more tips or examples using Docker for with Java? Or other languages? Share them with the community by contributing to the Docker Labs repository.
Based in San Francisco? Join us this Wed Sept 21st at Docker HQ for a Docker for Java Developers meetup with Docker Captain Arun Gupta and Patrick Chanezon.

HPE Docker Ready Servers Now Available – Get Docker Preinstalled On Your Favorite Hardware

It’s here!  HPE #Docker ready servers are now available. These servers are pre-configured, integrated and validated with commercially supported Docker Engine out of the box. Enterprises can ease the adoption of Docker through a trusted hardware platform.  
Announced in June, the Docker and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) partnership, has been called “The 10 Most Important Tech Partnerships In 2016 (so far),” by CRN as a way to bring infrastructure optimized Docker technology to enable a modern application platform for the enterprise.
Integrated, Validated and Supported
Docker ready servers are available for the HPE ProLiant, Cloudline, and Hyper Converged Systems. These servers come pre-installed with the commercially supported Docker Engine (CS Engine) and enterprise class support direct from HPE, backed by Docker. Whether deploying new servers or facing a hardware refresh, enterprises looking to adopt containerization can benefit from a simplified and repeatable deployment option on hardware they trust.
HPE Docker ready servers accelerate businesses time to value with everything needed in a single server to scale and support Docker environments, combining the hardware and OS you already use in your environment with the Docker CS Engine. Docker CS Engine is a commercially supported container runtime and native robust tooling that builds and runs Docker containers on any host. Once up and running, these Docker hosts can be a destination for any new Dockerized distributed application or containerized legacy application.
In our partnership with HPE, Docker ready servers are fully supported and guaranteed with enterprise L1/L2 support from HPE and consulting services in alignment with HPE’s technology solutions roadmaps and SLAs, providing a single source of Docker support. Businesses can choose from a full complement of technical support services, including 1-year, 3-year, 9×5, and 24&215;7 support, through HPE. In addition, HPE will provide technology assessments, design and implementation services for Docker (platform security, workload modernization consulting) from HPE Technology Services Consulting Services.
As teams scale their container environment and move from test/dev to production they can frictionless upgrade to Docker Datacenter, at any time. Docker Datacenter, our enterprise container management solution, provides end to end container, security, policy and controls across  the application lifecycle without sacrificing application agility or portability. Docker Datacenter helps enterprises transform to a hybrid IT environment, from bare metal, virtual or cloud deployment models, open APIs and interfaces, to flexibility to support a wide variety of workflows.
Docker Ready Server Availability
The HPE Docker ready servers are available for purchase through any HPE reseller or Systems Integrator and directly through your HPE representative. To purchase, simply reach out to your trusted HPE business partner.
Included HPE server models and supported configurations
Currently Docker ready servers are available for HPE ProLiant, Cloudline and Hyper Converged Systems, with additional x86 server lines becoming available later this year. The Linux operating systems where CS Engine is available include Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES, CentOS and H Linux. Get more details on the exact version compatibility and interoperability here.
Business day and business critical levels of support are available to align to the relevant application SLAs in one or three year terms.

OpenStack Principles

A set of OpenStack principles is proposed [5] to accurately capture existing tribal knowledge as a prerequisite for being able to have an open and productive discussions about changing it.
Last time majority of the Technical Committee were together, it was realized that there were a set of unspoken assumptions carried and used to judge things.

These are being captured to empower everyone to actually be able challenge and discuss them.

The principles were started by various TC members who have governance history and know these principles. This was in attempt to document this history to commonly asked questions. These are not by any means final, and the community should participate in discussing them.

The 4 Biggest Questions About Docker from VMworld 2016

Simply incredible. We spent last week at #VMworld speaking with thousands of enterprise security, infrastructure and virtualization pros. It was humbling to witness all of the curiosity and excitement around #Docker at the show, and how Docker clearly made a strong impression on the attendees.

This curiosity around Docker and its use within enterprise environments is the reason why i’m writing this blog. We noticed that there were many of the same questions that arose, and we figured we should share them with you, as you start your journey towards adopting Docker containers and VMs.
Here are the most commonly asked questions from the conference.

What is Docker? Or even a container? Is it a lightweight VM? Can I use it with vSphere? What value do they provide?

 

Containers are really about applications, not servers. That’s why they aren&8217;t VMs. @docker VMWorld #TFD
— Karen Lopez (@datachick) August 29, 2016
 
A Docker container is a standard unit in which application code, binaries and libraries can be packaged and isolated. The Docker Engine is the runtime installed on your infrastructure of choice and is what executes commands to build and deploy containers. Many containers can be connected together to form a single application or one container can include the entire codebase. Docker provides an abstraction layer between the application itself and the underlying compute infrastructure making the application completely portable to any other endpoint running Docker.
Docker containers are not VMs nor even lightweight VMs as their architecture is different.The image below displays the key differences between Docker containers and VMs .  Docker containers share the OS kernel on the host where each VM has a full copy of an OS inside the VM.

This does not mean these two models are mutually exclusive. Docker containers run anywhere a Docker Engine is installed…and Docker Engine runs on bare metal, in VMs (vSphere, Hyper-V) and clouds (AWS, Google, Azure, and more). This also means that Docker containers are portable from any one of the above environments to the other without having to recode the application. Additionally many users add containers into an existing virtual infrastructure to increase the density of workloads possible per VM.

There are several reasons why Docker containers are being adopted within the enterprise:

Security – Docker containers are completely isolated from one another, even when running on the same host and sharing the same OS. This makes them ideal for enterprise teams leveraging (for example) bare metal servers and are looking to comply with industry security regulations. And with the Docker Datacenter platform enterprise teams receive on-premises tools chock full of security features.
Portability across infrastructure and app environments &8211; Docker containers can run anywhere the Docker Engine is installed. This gives teams the ability to move their applications across different environment without having to tweak the code. For example, teams can easily move from vSphere to other environments like Azure and AWS #cloud.
Optimize Resources &8211; Docker containers can be deployed within VMs, and in fact vSphere is a great place to run them. This allows teams to run multiple containers within VMs. This reduces the overall VM footprint and decreases maintenance costs associated with maintaining legacy apps. Given that there are now less VMs, companies can spend less on vSphere including reduced hypervisor licensing costs as well.

 

Are you currently using @docker containers & VMs together? #Twitterpoll VMWorld
— Docker (@docker) August 21, 2016

Speed &8211; Docker containers help streamline the application lifecycle, helping developers build applications more quickly and IT ops teams react faster to changing business needs. Containers spin up on average in ⅜ of a second, compared to VMs which take several seconds or minutes. This sub second spin up time of Docker containers allow teams to onboard developers more quickly and deploy out to production more frequently.

Does Docker support Windows Server?

Will @Docker like containers ever catch on in Windows? http://t.co/jMHaVVVMFo VMworld #SDDC
— Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor) August 26, 2014

Today Docker Engine runs on all major Linux distros like: Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE and more.  Support for Windows Server is the most popular question as most companies have a mix of Windows and Linux based applications.  I’m pleased to say that very soon, Docker Engine will run on Windows Server 2016.  This means that the same Docker container technology and workflow can be applied to Linux and Windows Server workloads. For example, going forward, admins can have applications that have a back-end windows piece e.g. Microsoft SQL server and leverage a linux-based web front end, and have be part of the same app… running in vSphere VMs, baremetal or cloud (boom)!
Windows Server 2016 and Docker is available as a tech preview to try here.

Docker sells commercial solutions built specifically with enterprise teams in mind

 

And here are the @Docker Commercial Management tools: #UCP #DTR Cloud #Hub VMworld #TFDx pic.twitter.com/CxYKBVX8pL
— Arjan Timmerman (@Arjantim) August 29, 2016

Our commercial management platform, Docker Datacenter, is what enterprise teams are leveraging across the entire application lifecycle. Developers use our solution to quickly create apps, update apps and deploy them and IT Ops uses the platform to secure their application environment, comply with industry regulations, and deploy applications out to production more frequently.  In addition they are able to reduce the overall application-related costs to the business.
As mentioned, Docker Datacenter is our enterprise solution. Sold as a monthly or annual subscription, Docker Datacenter (DDC) delivers an on-premises Containers as a Service environment that IT ops teams use to manage and secure the environment and devs use to create applications in a self-service manner. The tool provides an image registry, orchestration/management plane and commercial support from the Docker Customer Success team. This support also includes validated configurations of operating systems and support for previous versions of the Docker engine.
Oh, and Docker Datacenter has got the GUIs
 
lots of options with @Docker &8211; CLI, API, and GUI for deploying VMworld tfdx
— Tim Smith (@tsmith_co) August 29, 2016

Many VMware customers are accustomed to managing VMs in their vCenter GUI. So, they were happy to know that yes, there are Docker tools to help manage images and containers, and they come complete with a GUI. Well, there’s a couple actually. And just like how VMware users use tools built by VMware, for VMware, we recommend Docker users use tools built by Docker, for Docker.
With Docker Datacenter, IT Operations teams have the ability to manage, orchestrate and scale their Dockerized apps across their environment. The tool is chock full of enterprise features including:

Ability to deploy containers onto nodes directly from within the UCP GUI
Manage nodes, images and applications
Scale instances horizontally for times of peak application usage
Role-based access controls to control who can access what
Integration with LDAP/AD to quickly create teams and organizations

Here is a quick look at the Docker Datacenter management  dashboard.

Docker Datacenter also provides the capability to store, manage, and secure your images.Key features include:

Ability to sign images and ensure images are not tampered with
Ability to manage images, repositories, tags
Quickly update/patch apps and push new images to DTR
Integration with Universal Control Plane for quick deployment

How Docker Datacenter is priced, and what we mean when we say Docker “node”

The Docker Datacenter subscription is licensed by the number of Docker engines you require. A node is anything (VM, bare metal server or Cloud instance) with the Docker Engine installed on it. A good way to understand how many engines you require is to think about the number of existing VMs, or bare metal servers or cloud instances you want to begin Dockerizing. Datacenter is available on a monthly or annual subscription basis with the option of business day or business critical support to align to your application service levels.  Check out our pricing page to learn more.
For any virtualization gurus looking to learn more about Docker and how Docker containers and VMs can be used together I highly recommend you give this ebook on “Docker for the Virtualization Admin” a read.

Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 is here! So what’s new?

This week we released the latest version of our OpenStack product, Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9. This release contains more than 500 downstream enhancements, bug fixes, documentation changes, and security updates. It’s based on the upstream OpenStack Mitaka release. We have worked hard to reduce the time to release new versions and have successfully done so with this release! Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 contains new Mitaka features and functionality, as well as the additional hardening, stability, and certifications Red Hat is known for. Of course, there continues to be tight integration with other key portfolio products, as well as comprehensive documentation.
So what are some of the main new highlights for this release?

Automated updates and upgrades
Red Hat OpenStack Platform director 9 provides backward compatibility 1 version back. This means you can use director 9 to deploy and manage Red Hat OpenStack Platform 8. And starting with version 9, the lifecycle support for director has been increased to match the lifecycle support for the core.   
When you decide it’s time to upgrade, director will perform the required actions step-by-step. One of these steps will involve the enablement of the new alarms API (called Aodh–more on that later) and the migration of the old Ceilometer Alarms.
Heat resource chains and a new hook for pre-delete
Previously, customers using Heat could only specify a single monolithic template for orchestration. Now multiple templates can be supported simultaneously. This simplifies the use of Heat templates and provides greater flexibility.
Also new in version 9, Heat can perform cleanup actions, like closing network connections, logging and event, or syncing filesystems. This allow for proper shutdown of virtual machines managed by Heat.
Live migration improvements
Compute now automatically detects block vs. shared storage when performing the live migration of an instance, which can accelerate the process by leveraging the shared storage. It’s also now possible to monitor the live migration progress and even pause or cancel a virtual machine in the middle of the migration from the old to the new hypervisor.
Thread-aware CPU pinning for NFV and HPC workloads
Earlier releases of Compute added support for instances with dedicated CPU resources and NUMA topology awareness. By default, it would prefer using sibling threads for vCPUs using simultaneous multi-threading (SMT), although its behavior could only be changed cluster-wide with the configuration file options. Now that behavior is configurable dynamically within individual image properties and extra specifications.

Prefer: the default, it prefers placing guest vCPUs on sibling threads where they are available. Host may or may not have SMT support.
Isolate: this isolates threads placing guest vCPUs on different physical cores. On systems with SMT support, it means that no vCPUs from other guests are placed on those cores.
Require: this forces the use of thread siblings. The host must have SMT support.

Ability to purge a project’s networking
Previously, after deleting a project, you had to deal with stale resources that were once allocated to the project. This included networks, routers, and ports. These stale resources had to be manually deleted and deleted in the correct order. Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9 has addressed this issue using the Neutron purge command to delete the Neutron resources that once belonged to a particular project.
This reduces the possibility of orphaned resources (IPs, ports, and DHCP servers) living in the system without an owner and possibly unnecessarily consuming resources. Previously, only the admin could see and clean them either manually or with scripts. Now the admin (after deleting the tenant) can remove the networking artifacts in a coherent fashion. No more wasting resources, like floating IPv4 addresses, after removing a project.
Gnocchi
Gnocchi is a time-series backend for ceilometer that works with Ceph or Swift and provides high performance storage and queries of the metrics collected, which is highly scalable and better than previous implementations. With Red Hat OpenStack Platform 9, Gnocchi is promoted from “tech preview” to “fully supported”, but it will not deploy by default by Director&8211;it needs to be enabled by the operator.
Aodh
The new Alarming component that replaces Ceilometer Alarms is called Aodh (pronounced like the letter “A”). It offers a separate API for configuring and triggering custom Alarms by tenants. Director’s installation tool will enable Aodh and migrate users to the new API.
These are some of the main highlights for product features. As a reminder to our customers, Red Hat Cloudforms is included free of charge with Red Hat OpenStack Platform (quickstart documentation available here), to manage both infrastructure and running workloads. And for version 9, Red Hat CloudForms offers the following new features:

Tenant Management:  SSH Key Management, Volume and Images Management, Right Size Recommendations for CPU and Memory, Instance Flavor Reconfiguration (i.e. from m1.tiny to m2.xlarge), Live Migration, Events from Ceilometer, etc.
Infrastructure management (undercloud): Scale In and Out (add or remove overcloud nodes), evacuate all or selected instances from a host that needs to be decommissioned; Also, the ability to do Capacity Planning to evaluate how many VMs of a particular profile (e.g. currently running on VMware) can fit on our OpenStack deployment.
