Docker Linux
Docker Management
Manage Docker Containers and Images with simple actions in Hornbill
Package Details
- Vendor: Docker
- Target Platform: Linux
- Package Type: Server and Workstation Management
Trigger Docker commands from within Hornbill to automate functionality as part of your business processes
Example: If a developer needs a break down on the history of an image, they can use the Hornbill service catalog to quickly request access to a image within their organizations Docker instance. As part of the delivery process, Hornbill searches for the Docker image, providing them with access to the information in just a few seconds. Likewise, the image can be deleted on request as soon as the developer has finished using it. The whole developer experience is very quick and painless. Time is saved, shortening the development cycle.
Benefits
- Control Docker from the service desk, business process workflows, or runbooks
- Accelerate service restoration
- Accelerate dev and test cycles with faster provisioning of compute resources
