IBM and Docker Announce Strategic Partnership

IBM and Docker announced a strategic partnership.

The Docker platform will make it easier for enterprises to build and run the next generation of applications on the IBM Cloud and on prem. The idea is to develop portable, distributed applications that are rapidly composed of discrete interoperable Docker containers, have a dynamic lifecycle, and can scale to run in concert anywhere from the developer’s laptop to hundreds of hosts in the cloud.

IBM will be a premier provider of Docker Hub Enterprise (DHE).

“This partnership with IBM is a great win for the rapidly growing number of enterprises that see Docker as the foundation for a new generation of business critical distributed applications,” said Ben Golub, CEO of Docker  “IBM’s commitment to delivering enterprise-grade Docker native solutions will drive dynamic, new business initiatives for enterprises through portable, highly dynamic Docker-based applications.”
