Microsoft had earlier announced that it was co-operating with Docker Open source community to introduce Docker containers on its upcoming Windows server. The software giant had previously worked with Docker to introduce the same on its Widows Azure services. Now, another report has just come out from Microsoft. It says that the software giant is discussing with Google’s open source Kubernetes to improve Docker container features for Azure. The news has excited the Azure users although some of the Omni Tech support ripoff articles have highlighted the downsides of the integrated service. Furthermore, through this decision, Microsoft has once again proved that it is committed to living up to its promises.
Sources privy to Microsoft Open Technology, a subsidiary of the software giant that manages open source solutions and initiates meetings with other open source communities, said that a lions part of the collaborative work with Kubernetes has already been completed.
Azure team builds separate dashboard for Kubernetes setup visualization
Although the Kubernetes has a default dashboard for the visualization of its setup, it won’t be used for the Docker container on Windows Azure. An independent dashboard for the same has been designed by the Azure team. Experts at Microsoft Open Tech said that the Azure Kubernetes Visualizer project was aimed at simplifying the experiment with Kubernetes on Windows Azure. They hoped that the project would not disappoint users in any manner.
Benefits of Kubernetes and Docker on Azure
Although there have been much talks about the integration of Docker container and Kubernetes solution on Windows Azure from media across the world, it appears that not many stories have examined or reported the advantages of the same for the users. The primary advantage is that the integration enables developers to make containers and avail them on the storage service of Azure. It also helps developers to manage Azure clusters, for instance configuring, deleting or updating them. Furthermore, by means of the container images stored on Azure, developers can organize their Azure clusters at wish.
Once the Kubernetes is published on Windows Azure, the developers will be able to use the tools from the former to deploy Docker containers both on Google Compute Engine as well as Azure. Obviously, this is one of the odd collaborations that Microsoft has ever done during its tenure hitherto.
Although the deal is being criticised by some media and Omni Tech support ripoff reports, it opens new horizons for Windows Azure users in using Docker containers more systematically and effectively.
