Red hat will apply container load server on project atomic

Red Hat Yes Linux The operating system has been downsized , In order to create a hybrid technology , To merge VMware, Microsoft and Citrix And so on .

Red Hat Announced at the summit on Tuesday Project Atomic plan , This is a Red Hat With its Silicon Valley partners , Startups Docker Another work of .

This technology will Docker Container technology and Linux Components , Such as systemd, geard and rpmOSTree, Combined to create a slimmer version of the operating system , The system allows users to take advantage of virtualization while , Reduce overload .

“ Virtual machines provide isolation methods for various applications , But this model significantly increases the resources and management load ,”Red Hat stay Project Atomic The website explained that .“ The traditional enterprise operating system mode uses a separate runtime environment controlled by the operating system , This mode can be shared by all applications , And does not need to meet the modern application centralized IT The needs of .”

The company explained that , Compare ,Atomic Is designed to run Docker Containers , And the uplink component CentOS,Fedora and Red Hat build .

Docker Container usage Linux Elements of the kernel , Such as cgroups,lxc And the namespace , For those who share hosts across applications OS Create a container for your software application , But configure it with separate memory , Storage ,CPU And the Internet . Traditional virtualization should also be shared OS, But by contrast , Take up valuable computing and storage space of the host .

With the help of Docker,Red Hat On a single node , Running Apache The number of services has reached 1000,Red Hat staff Dan Walsh In his speech on Monday, he said .

“Docker As a container command line interface ？ I think this is a very boring thing , Everyone can find ten different ways to do this ,”Walsh In his speech, he said , And then , He mentioned “ take Docker As a packaging tool for transmission software, it may change the rules of the game —— Maybe it can become RHEL The server The app store .”

because Docker Save space , therefore El Reg doubt , It can't be a big management Distributed application （ Now there is a special market ） Technology , But over time , Slowly showing its importance . This is also a drawback of virtualization .

To take advantage of this shift ,Red Hat Already created Project Atomic, One is to Docker Containers are pushed to their customers , Second, it can ensure that no matter Docker Where to run ,Red Hat Enterprise class Linux Can run .

however ,Red Hat There may still be some problems in this regard . One side , There is already a built for warehouse computing Linux edition , Name is CoreOS—— and , It also integrates Docker.

On the other hand ,Red Hat The sensitivity of technical partners ——Red Hat In another speech on Tuesday , The participants were asked about the deployment Docker The plan for ：34.5% People reported that “ Do not plan to deploy ”.
