CenturyLink, Monday announced it has contributed three projects to the open-source community designed to improve the way developers use Chef, vSphere and Docker technologies.
According to the Operator, its Chef provisioning driver for vSphere simplifies the process to provision Chef nodes on VMware vSphere infrastructure, filling a gap for enterprise developers who use VMware for their core virtualization technology.
CenturyLink also created Lorry.io, a tool for creating, composing and validating Docker Compose YAML files, makes it easy to share and deploy entire applications composed of Docker containers. Meanwhile, the Operator's ImageLayers.io enables developers to visualize Docker images and the layers that compose them, see how each command in the Dockerfile contributes to the final image and compare multiple Docker images side-by-side.
