The expanding application container and micro-services infrastructure got another boost this week with the introduction of a new set of tools for managing distributed software used to orchestrate micro-services.
Meanwhile, one of those software developers, #CoreOS, announced a new open source distributed storage system designed to provide scalable storage to clusters orchestrated by the Kubernetes container management platform.
#Puppet, the IT automation specialist based in Portland, Ore., recently released a suite of tools under the codename Project Blueshift that provides modules for running container software from CoreOS, #Docker and #Mesosphere along with #Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL) #Kubernetes cluster manager. This week it released a new set of Docker images for running its software on the Docker Hub.
Puppet said its #Blueshift software tools could now be deployed and run on top of Docker. Running within the application container platform makes it easier to scale Puppet, the company said.
The company also unveiled a new agent to manage Linux virtual machines running on IBM (NYSE: IBM) z Systems and LinuxOne platforms. In addition, it announced new modules for IBM WebSphere application and integration middleware along with a module for supporting a Cisco System's (NASDAQ: CSCO) line of Nexus switches.
The modules are intended to automate IT management while speeding application deployment across hybrid cloud infrastructure, the company noted in a statement.
Puppet said its IBM Websphere module is available now, and a new agent with packages supporting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (NYSE: RHT) along with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 and 12 would be available later this summer.
