Infrastructure

• Ranger
  • Rancher is open-source software for delivering Kubernetes-as-a-Service.
• Ranger OS
  • A simplified Linux distribution built from containers, for containers. Everything in RancherOS is a container managed by Docker. It includes only the bare minimum amount of software needed to run Docker. Everything else can be pulled dynamically through Docker.
• Kubernetes
  • Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
• Docker Container
  • A container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. A Docker container image is a lightweight, standalone, executable package of software that includes everything needed to run an application: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings.
• Docker Engine
  • Docker Engine is the Most Widely Used Container Engine.
    Docker creates simple tooling and a universal packaging approach that bundles up all application dependencies inside a container. Docker Engine enables containerized applications to run anywhere consistently on any infrastructure, solving “dependency hell” for developers and operations teams, and eliminating the “it works on my laptop!” problem.
