Docker & Arm today announced a strategic partnership enabling Cloud developers to build applications for Cloud, edge, & IoT environments seamlessly on the Arm architecture.
Arm said in a press release that the companies were working together to provide the 1st frictionless cloud-native unified software development & delivery model. This collaboration will allow organizations to build applications faster, more securely, & ultimately create new services and applications to further realize the benefits of digital transformation. The data generated by the proliferation of the IoT & intelligent connected devices were causing networks to be weighed down, thus making centralized processing inefficient & expensive.
Docker & Arm will be addressing this challenge by developers to remove the dependencies of applications from infrastructure, while gaining delivery & production frameworks. Enterprises also benefit through direct Cloud cost savings & increased operational efficiencies with Docker developers seamlessly becoming Arm developers, instantly taking advantage of new services like AWS EC2 A1 instances based on AWS Graviton Processors that feature 64-bit Arm Neoverse™ cores.
The two companies were also making Docker-based solutions available to the Arm developer ecosystem as an extension of the Arm Neoverse platform. This integration means millions of Arm developers can now leverage Docker-based solutions to build & deploy their applications more quickly and easily across a wide range of applications from Cloud to edge to device.
