Docker Desktop comes to Linux, adds extensions SDK

Docker is extending its common Docker Desktop application to integrate with a wider range of developer resources, as perfectly as providing native aid for developers working on Linux workstations.

Announced right now all through DockerCon, Docker Extensions is launching with 14 lover integrations: Ambassador, Anchore, AquaSec, EverX, JFrog, Layer5.io, Okteto, Portainer, Crimson Hat, Snyk, SUSE/Rancher, Tailscale, Uffizzi, and VMware.

These start companions can be grouped into a few principal buckets: simplifying Kubernetes deployment (VMware Tanzu, Okteto, Portainer, Purple Hat, Rancher), safe application supply chain (Anchore, AqueSec, JFrog, Snyk), and supporting hybrid enhancement environments (Ambassador, Tailscale, Layer5, Uffizzi).

The broader Docker community will also be able to travel a larger array of extensions in the potential using the new Docker Extensions SDK.

“The big, intricate cloud-native equipment landscape presents a challenge for builders, who need to have the right instrument for the ideal job, appropriate now,” claimed Docker CEO Scott Johnston. “Docker Extensions permits developers to rapidly uncover and begin employing the resources they have to have for their applications and not squander time browsing, downloading, configuring, evaluating, and controlling instruments.”

Docker Desktop will also now be accessible on Linux workstations, with an similar working experience to the macOS and Home windows programs, letting business builders to shift previous the tyranny of what Johnston calls “it performs on my machine” finger pointing.

Linux aid has been the most requested feature among the the Docker group for the earlier 12 months, according to Johnston, and the company’s latest round of funding has enabled them to force it ahead on the roadmap. Docker Desktop for Linux includes Docker Compose, the Docker CLI, and Kubernetes.

Since advertising its business organization to Mirantis in 2019, Docker has been pushing forward with a approach of focusing on serving developers creating containerized purposes, mainly by way of the Docker Make operate, the Docker Motor container runtime, the Hub image repository, and the Docker Desktop application.
