Launched in March 2013, Docker is an open platform for building, shipping and running distributed applications. Docker provides a platform that enables any application to be created and run as a collection of consistent, low-overhead Docker containers that work across virtually any infrastructure. This new model liberates developers from application and infrastructure dependencies, significantly accelerates the software development lifecycle, and enables substantial improvements in infrastructure cost and efficiency.
Platform9 is the open source-as-a-service company that delivers leading open-source frameworks, such as OpenStack and Kubernetes as managed services, which means extreme ease of use coupled with production-ready SLAs for your infrastructure.
