Google Bets Big On Docker With App Engine Integration, Open Source Container Management Tool

Docker is sure making a splash in the developer community these days, and Google is taking note. After adding some basic Docker support to Compute Engine earlier this year, the company today announced that it is embracing Docker in App Engine, too, with the help of its recently launched managed virtual machines.

To help developers work with Docker, Google is also launching Kubernetes today, a new tool for managing containers. And to cement its involvement in the Docker community, the company is nominating Eric Brewer, its vice president of infrastructure, to the Docker Governance Committee to “continue working with the community on building better open container standards.”
