A bit about container virtualization
We share not only our own experience in automating various services of our virtual infrastructure provider (a couple of examples: 1 and 2 ), but also analyze western experience.
Today Brandon Butler, who wrote a note about what is happening in the subject of containers and how they will get along with classical instruments, helped us in this.

At the thematic conference in San Francisco, VMware introduced a new virtualization technology. This time for containers.
This product was called Project Photon or "microvizor." It is a branch of the ESX hypervisor, adapted to work with containers.
The project has two main components: Photon Machine and Photon Controller. The first is responsible for building a mini-VM and creating containers, and the second is something like a router that manages hundreds of Photon Machine objects.
The developers said Photon could be integrated with open systems like Docker. His main task is to prepare the IT infrastructure for work.
In addition to this innovation, the company introduced a more traditional tool - VSphere Integrated Containers - this is a plugin for VSphere and an ideal option for those who would like to experiment with container technology. This solution allows you to distribute containers across multiple VMs instead of one.
VMware experts are calm about the situation on the market and do not see any preconditions for concern. They emphasize the presence of a surge of interest, which does not correspond to the real state of affairs in practice.
These releases are a significant move by a major player who has identified himself as one of the leaders of the gaining trend for the development of the entire virtual infrastructure industry.
