Development Lifecycle, DevOps

vRealize Code Stream

vRealize Code Stream supports Continuous Delivery or DevOps initiatives. It serves as a release automation solution that allows developers and operations teams to release software more frequently and efficiently, all while leveraging their investments in existing build, test, provisioning, deployment and monitoring tools.


Production Platform

vSphere Integrated Containers

vSphere Integrated Containers realizes the “best of both worlds” by providing developers the portability, speed, and agility they love about containers while providing IT Ops the management, security, and visibility they require to run workloads in production. vSphere Integrated Containers enables IT teams to seamlessly run traditional and containerized workloads side-by-side on existing VMware infrastructure.

Photon Platform

Photon Platform is a new infrastructure stack optimized for containers and cloud-native apps.  It’s built to be used in API-driven, multi-tenant, high scale, greenfield environments.  It’s composed of two main components: Photon Machine, a lightweight “microvisor” based on ESX with Photon OS built-in, and Photon Controller, a distributed high-scale control plane that includes Project Lightwave.  We also announced that we will open source Photon Controller to directly engage with the open source community including developers, customers, and partners to drive increased interoperability and functionality.

vSphere driver for Flocker

ClusterHQ‘s Flocker provides an efficient and easy way to connect persistent storage with Docker containers. The vSphere driver for Flocker project provides a plugin to provision persistent data volumes on VMware’s vSphere storage datastores (VMFS, NFS, VSAN, VVOL).
