ARA, how strong when it comes to supports container management platform such as DOCKER

[IndikaPeiris611408]

Dear Experts,

I just want to know ARA’s capabilities when it comes to support container management platform such as DOCKER.

Basically how strongly it support and manage the full lifecycle of DOCKER Kubernetes, Mesos, and Swarm clusters.

I want some kind of comparison (feature to feature). May be compare with another product (such as open source product RANCHER).I heard RANCHER is natively supports and manages all of your Kubernetes, Mesos, and Swarm clusters.  

Appreciate your feedback in advance. Thank you

Hello Indika, 

As my understanding, currently ARA has the following things, which support docker:

1. Docker action pack, this will offer you some basic features to docker like create/search image or container.

Details about the features of this actions in the following link: https://marketplace.automic.com/details/docker-actions-pack

2. IN ARA version 7.0 we did integrate the docker provisioning, more information about this please check:

Hi IndikaPeiris611408,

Thanks for sharing, actually it's the same feature as I already mentioned it on point 2 in my previous post. But you did write it in a clear way. Thanks a lot :)
