Customers can simply click on Docker as an operating system option in Memset’s control panel when spinning up a cloud server. A special Ubuntu LTS image with the registry mirror already configured will be provided, enabling web and mobile developers to create lightweight, portable, self-sufficient containers from any application.
With cloud servers starting at £3.25 per month, this is a cost effective way for developers to spin up and try out a docker server, experiment with running some services as containers, then spin down and only pay for the time their server was live.
“This one-click install application of Docker provides many of the benefits of PaaS, but delivered on a flexible, scalable infrastructure platform, which is what Memset provides,” said Juan Martinez, Memset’s Development Manager.
