The document discusses how containers help accelerate DevOps practices for enterprises. Containers allow applications to be deployed faster and across different environments compared to virtual machines. This enables better collaboration between development and operations teams. The document then introduces Nirmata, a container management platform that provides a single control plane for managing applications across public and private clouds. It highlights how Nirmata automates the full container application lifecycle and can help reduce costs for enterprises adopting DevOps. Finally, a demo of the Nirmata platform is shown.

DevOps Fundamentals
• Siloes have to go
• Automated with common
executables across application
lifecycle
• Integrated organization with
nearby boss
• Shared metrics

10. 10Accelerating DevOps: Automating application lifecycle using containers | March 15, 2016
Agile Across Application Lifecycle
• Immutable artifacts
• Handed across groups
• Requires consistent
environments for each
group

11. 11Accelerating DevOps: Automating application lifecycle using containers | March 15, 2016
Composable, Not Monolithic
• The “approved stack” is dead
• The “monolith” is dead
• Microservices is the
emerging application
architecture
• The developer/operations
relationship is multiplied

12. 12Accelerating DevOps: Automating application lifecycle using containers | March 15, 2016
Scalable
• Application loads more
erratic than ever
• Applications must be elastic
• Automatic scaling a must
• Underlying infrastructure
must have capacity
• Application artifacts fast
instantiation

13. 13Accelerating DevOps: Automating application lifecycle using containers | March 15, 2016
Polyglot
• That “approved stack” redux
• Developers work in familiar,
comfortable languages
• Applications assembled from
disparate components
• Operations is more complex,
inevitably

14. How Do Containers Help?

15. 15Accelerating DevOps: Automating application lifecycle using containers | March 15, 2016
Virtual Machines
• Large isolation format
• Slow instantiation
• Pets
• Difficult to share artifacts
across app lifecycle
• Difficult for multiple app
components to run on same
machine
• Microservices architecture
difficult
Containers
• Small isolation format
• Rapid instantiation
• Cattle
• Easy to share artifacts
across app lifecycle
• Easy for multiple app
components to run on same
machine
• Microservices architecture
easy

“The popular wisdom that cloud computing comes in three flavors, software-as-a-
service (SaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
— no longer describes reality.” --Forrester
