This document discusses new technologies that are currently under development by VMware and subject to change. It provides an overview of trends in development practices, containers, and DevOps. It then summarizes VMware's approach to supporting containers and DevOps workflows through tools that integrate building, running, and managing containerized applications across the application lifecycle. A new technology called Project Fargo is introduced that allows for rapid cloning of virtual machines for improved provisioning and portability of applications.

12. Project Fargo: Rapid, Massive Scale VM Cloning
• Fast, scalable differential clone of a running VM
• Benefits:
– Significantly reduces the startup time for new VMs
(VMs available in ms)
– Reduces the VM storage and memory footprint
– Copy-on-write architecture ensures per-VM isolation
• Use cases:
– Enterprise applications
• Speed of containers-based provisioning
• VM-level goodness (Isolation, management, etc.)
– Virtual desktops:
• Instant clone of running non-persistent desktop
• Instant availability of app for app publishing
