Apps4Rent brings a ready-to-use Docker
Community Edition with Ubuntu Xenial
,
which is pre-installed on Ubuntu and powered by Microsoft Azure, to the
Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and
services for use on Azure. This cohesive Docker solution can be
integrated immediately, which saves cumbersome installation time. The
solution has been designed and tested by Apps4Rent experts. Apps4Rent
customers can now take advantage of the scalability, high availability,
and security of managed

Docker
is a containerization platform packaging together all the applications
along with its peripherals in a Docker container. Being a standardized
unit created on the fly to deploy an application, Docker ensures that
applications work seamlessly in any given environment. Dockers are more
efficient than virtual machines (VMs) in terms of boot time, memory
consumption, and third-party integration.

Wade Dubey, Business Development Manager at Apps4Rent, said, “We
wanted to leverage Docker, which is the most widely used container
engine today. Our solution is a community-supported version of Docker
that is pre-installed on Ubuntu Xenial platform. With a model offered by
Apps4Rent, small teams and developers can experiment with
container-based apps without any hassles. If you are looking for a
Docker solution on Ubuntu Xenial, we offer an easy-to-download solution
integrated with Azure that can be used immediately.”
