The short version: Docker acquired a fantastic company called Infinit. Using their technology, we will provide secure distributed storage out of the box, making it much easier to deploy stateful services and legacy enterprise applications on Docker. This will be delivered in a very open and modular design, so operators can easily integrate their existing storage systems, tune advanced settings, or simply disable the feature altogether. Oh, and we’re going to open-source the whole thing.

C’est une excellente nouvelle bravo les gars ! Depuis le début de l’aventure il manque clairement une solution de storage unifiée pour des conteneurs statefull. Car c’est bien joli de pouvoir monter des conteneurs on the fly sur n’importe quel serveur mais les données il faut qu’elles suivent et ça c’est moins simple…
