Interest in deploying software using Docker containers has been growing very quickly. Clients are hearing all the "buzz" around Docker and beginning to investigate how they can take advantage of this new technology. In the latest v2.1 release of IBM PureApplication, support has been added that allows clients to easily create patterns that deploy Docker containers as software components using the pattern editor. Now clients can build upon the skills they already have with patterns and easily add Docker containers. Because the new support for Docker is integrated with the existing patterns, the new technology can be added incrementally at a pace that makes sense for the customer's business. There is no need to "start all over again" in order to exploit Docker.
