Container Tools

CData Virtuality supports Docker and Helm (for work with Kubernetes and Openshift).

Docker is a platform enabling you to build, ship, and run distributed applications. It uses a container-based approach to virtualization, making it lightweight and portable. With Docker, you can package an application and its dependencies into a single container that can be easily moved between environments. This allows for consistent and reliable behaviour regardless of the environment it is running in.

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows you to manage and deploy your applications on a Kubernetes cluster. It uses charts, which are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources, to make it easy to deploy and manage your applications. With Helm, you can install, upgrade, and roll back your applications with a simple command-line interface.

OpenShift is a container application platform that allows you to build, deploy, and manage your applications. It provides a complete stack of tools and technologies to create scalable and secure applications on any cloud infrastructure.
