© Copyright 2000-2016 TIBCO Software Inc. “Middleware is computer software that provides services to software applications beyond those available from the operating system. It can be described as "software glue”. Middleware makes it easier for software developers to implement communication and input/output, so they can focus on the specific purpose of their application.” Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middleware) Middleware

© Copyright 2000-2016 TIBCO Software Inc. Middleware Example: Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) An enterprise service bus (ESB) is a software architecture model used for designing and implementing communication between mutually interacting software applications in a service- oriented architecture (SOA). Its primary use is in enterprise application integration (EAI) of heterogeneous and complex landscapes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_service_bus (Wikipedia, 2016)

© Copyright 2000-2016 TIBCO Software Inc. A [Docker] container, unlike a virtual machine, does not require or include a separate operating system. Container use the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel such as kernel namespaces (isolates an application's view of the operating environment including process trees, network, user IDs and mounted file systems) and cgroups (provides resource limiting, including the CPU, memory, block I/O and network), and a union-capable filesystem such as aufs and others to allow independent "containers" to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting and maintaining virtual machines. Key advantage for middleware: Lightweight and flexible development and deployment. Container 101

The basic resource for CaaS is a container, rather than a virtual machine (VM) or a bare metal hardware host system” http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Containers-as-a-Service-CaaS Container-as-a-Service
