vSphere Integrated Containers

vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC) is comprised of three main components - the vSphere Integrated Containers Engine, Harbor, and Admiral all of which are available as open source on github.

The VIC Engine is a container runtime for vSphere, allowing developers familiar with Docker to develop in containers and deploy them alongside traditional VM-based workloads on vSphere clusters. These workloads can be managed through the vSphere UI in a way familiar to existing vSphere admins.

Harbor, the enterprise container registry, is an enterprise-class registry server that stores and distributes container images. Harbor extends the open source project Docker Distribution by adding the functionalities usually required by an enterprise, such as security, identity and management.

Admiral, the container management portal, provides a UI for developers and app teams to provision and manage containers, including retrieving stats and info about container instances. Cloud administrators will be able to manage container hosts and apply governance to its usage, including capacity quotas and approval workflows. When integrated with vRealize Automation, more advanced capabilities become available, such as deployment blueprints and enterprise-grade Containers-as-a-Service.

With these three capabilities, VIC enables VMware customers to deliver a production ready container solution to their developers and app teams. By leveraging their existing SDDC, customers can now run container-based applications alongside existing virtual machine based workloads in production without having to build out a separate, specialized container infrastructure stack. As an added benefit for customers and partners, VIC is modular. So if your organization already has a container registry in production, you can use that registry with the other components of vSphere Integrated Containers.
