1. What is all the fuss over Containers?

2. Software Disrupts Business
Retail
Finance
Media ? ?
Software and cloud-based technologies are disrupting businesses across every industry vertical
How many people have used Uber over traditional taxis? How many of us purchase from Amazon rather then going to the shops?
We are seeing these examples every day, whether it’s Amazon & EBay in Retail, Uber in Transportation, Netflix & Spotify in Media, Apple Pay & Google Wallet in Payments - consumers are increasingly choosing new solutions from new vendors
These competitors use technology to drive greater value proposition for their customers and change the nature of the competition
Transportation

3. Why is Innovation Important?
Seems a obvious answer, but so many organization's are being left behind by new disruptive companies who are not tied down by big bulky data centre and legacy applications. Here in the UK we only need to look at Blockbusters as a great example of a business wiped out by the likes of NetFlix.
This chart illustrates how innovation in IT is shaking up the corporate landscape. Back in 1937 your time as part of the S&P 500 was 75 years. Today its down to as low as 12 years. By 2030 they are forecasting 1 year. That’s how quickly Innovation in IT is changing the corporate landscape.
A great quote from Jack Welch the former CEO of General Electric…..
Where is the next big innovation in IT going to come from? Proprietary Software Vendors with their closed source development, or from the Open Source Community?

4. IT Must Evolve to Innovate
IT organizations must evolve to meet organizational demands
This is driving many of the conversations we are having with our customers about DevOps and more
Many of these customers are looking to shift their development and deployment processes, from traditional Waterfall development and Agile methods to DevOps and they want to learn how to enable that
We are also seeing customers asking about Microservices, as they switch their application architectures, away from existing monolithic and n-tier applications to highly distributed, componentized services-based apps
On the infrastructure side, we are seeing a lot of interest in Linux Containers, driven by the popularity of Docker, as an alternative to existing virtualization technologies. Containers can be a key enabler of DevOps and Microservices.
And finally we are seeing customers increasingly wanting to deploy their applications across a hybrid cloud environment

5. Traditional Application Build is like craft work, every application is hand crafted and ultimately can have subtle differences. With PaaS we are moving to an assembly line production of applications where many of the underlying dependencies are pre-built and automated. What does this mean? It means we can go from Pen to Production a lot faster than traditional application development.

6. Time Breakdown Time Developing New Feature
Time spent developing application
operational based code
Developers spend too much time developing operational based code that could be automated. Containers are helping reverse this pie chart so developers spend more time developing features of an application that will benefit the business.

7. Best Execution Venue Choose your IaaS *
OpenShift will run anywhere RHEL can run giving you the ultimate portability for your mission critical workloads.
* = Coming Soon

8. Containers - An Evolution in Application Development and Deployment
Enable efficiency and automation for microservices, but also support traditional applications
Enable faster and more consistent deployments from Development to Production
Enable application portability across 4 infrastructure footprints: Physical, Virtual, Private & Public Cloud
Containers - An Evolution in Application Deployment
Containers represent a major evolution in application deployment. Its an Enabler for organizations transforming their applications, process & infrastructure and crucially allowing application portability across 4 infrastructure footprints: Physical, virtual, private and public cloud.
This is why interest in Containers is surging!

9. Value of Containers
Expedite Innovation to Market - By better enabling both your Development and Operations teams, Containers helps organizations deliver on business initiatives faster and accelerate time to market
Accelerate development - By giving Developers access to application environments, application components and tools on-demand, Containers helps drive greater agility and accelerate application development and delivery
Increase operational efficiency - By giving Operations teams a complete containers-based application platform, Containers helps IT organizations better enable their developers and streamline application management across the lifecycle for both new/cloud-based and existing/enterprise applications to drive greater operational efficiency.
Enable DevOps with deployment automation & integration across the application lifecycle
Enable application portability across public, private and hybrid cloud environments
