What is Container Management Software for IBM Cloud?

Container management software platforms help organizations deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications across multiple environments. These platforms streamline the orchestration of containers, allowing businesses to automate the deployment, scaling, and operation of application containers. They typically support Kubernetes, Docker, or other container orchestration technologies to manage clusters of containers. Container management platforms improve efficiency by enabling developers to focus on building applications rather than worrying about the underlying infrastructure. They also provide monitoring, logging, and security features to ensure that applications run smoothly and securely in production.

    ManageIQ

    ManageIQ

    ManageIQ

    Manage containers, virtual machines, networks, and storage from a single platform. Connect ManageIQ to your virtualization, container, network, and storage management systems, where it will discover inventory, map relationships, and listen for changes. The result is a rich, up-to-date and cross-referenced dataset that forms the basis for our advanced management capabilities. Define bundles of resources and publish them in a service catalog, from where they can be ordered by end users. Once provisioned, you can manage the full life cycle of a service, including policy, compliance, delegated operations, chargeback/showback, and retirement. Scan the contents of your VMs, hosts, and containers, and combine with auto discovery data to create advanced security and compliance policies. Content scanning works without the help of an agent and therefore works for any VM including foreign and un-cooperative ones.
