About Helios
Helios is a Docker orchestration platform for deploying and managing containers across an entire fleet of servers. Helios provides a HTTP API as well as a command-line client to interact with servers running your containers. It also keeps a history of events in your cluster including information such as deploys, restarts and version changes. The binary release of Helios is built for Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, but Helios should be buildable on any platform with at least Java 8 and a recent Maven 3 available. Use helios-solo to launch a local environment with a Helios master and agent. Helios is pragmatic. We're not trying to solve everything today, but what we have, we try hard to ensure is rock-solid. So we don't have things like resource limits or dynamic scheduling yet. Today, for us, it has been more important to get the CI/CD use cases, and surrounding tooling solid first. That said, we eventually want to do dynamic scheduling, composite jobs, etc.
