Panamax - Docker Management for Humans

Find out how Panamax will enhance your use of Docker and simplify common pain points. Docker is good, but Panamax makes it awesome. This presentation introduces Panamax, and takes you on a journey where you will create containerized applications, and then share the applications with your friends. It will also touch upon the basic architecture and underpinnings of Panamax. Panamax is open-source product from CenturyLink. You can learn how to contribute and stay involved as new features are added.

   Recap: What is Docker?
   An open platform for building, shipping and running
   distributed applications inside containers.
   The platform consists of:
   The Docker Engine: a portable, lightweight runtime and
   packaging tool. It is the CLI that we interact with.
   The Docker Hub: A public/private registry for docker images,
   supporting sharing, and automatic builds.
   If it works on your machine, it will work anywhere.
   ensures repeatability
   removes dependency hell

   Why Panamax?
   Docker might be the next generation of virtual machines,
   but right now they are very hard to adopt.
   Docker Management for Humans
   Eases end users into building containerized apps
   using Docker, by ‘transparently insulating’ them
   Enables saving applications as templates, and
   sharing them using GitHub repositories
   Allows quick prototyping of complex apps
   by linking various services

    “Panamax allows developers to go from zero to pre-packaged, multi-container
    docker environments in minutes. The web interface and overall user experience
    is impressive.” – Gabriel Monroy, Creator Of Deis
    “Panamax is an exciting improvement on the Docker user experience.”
    – Jonathan Rudenberg, Creator Of Flynn
    “We’re pleased to see Panamax launched! It’s an exciting project
    that shows the strength and diversity of the Docker ecosystem.”
    – James Turnbull, Vice President Of Docker

    Containers vs. VMs
    • VMs include a full guest OS with its own memory management, device drivers, etc.,
    while containers just have the app and its dependencies.
    • The containers run as an isolated process on the host OS, and share the kernel with
    other containers.
    • They are more portable and efficient than VMs.
    It’s like sending a zip file of your document and image files
    rather than sending those along with OS on your machine.
