virtuallyGhetto: Getting Started with Tech Preview of #Docker Volume Driver for #vSphere
Getting Started with Tech Preview of Docker…
A couple of weeks ago, I got an early sneak peak at some of the work that was being done in VMware’s Storage and Availability Business Unit (SABU) on providing storage persistency for Docker Containers in a vSphere based environment. Today, VMware has open sourced a new Docker Volume Driver for vSphere (Tech Preview) that will enable customers to easily take advantage of their existing vSphere Storage (VSAN, VMFS and NFS) and provide persistent storage access to Docker Containers running on top of the vSphere platform. Both the Developers and vSphere Administrators will have familiar interfaces in how they manage and interact with these Docker Volumes from vSphere, which we will explore further below.
