NetApp in containerization era

It’s not really a technical article as I usually do, but rather a short list of topics for one direction NetApp developing a lot recently, called “Containers”. Containerization getting more and more popular nowadays and I noticed NetApp heavily invests efforts in it, so I identified four main directions in that field. Let’s name a few NetApp products using containerization technology:

1. E-Series with running containers on top of the platform
2. Containerization of existing NetApp software:
   • ActiveIQ PAS
   • StorageGRID WebScale in Docker image
   • OneCollect in form of a container image
   • ONTAP running natively in K8s (on demo stage at the moment)
3. Trident plugin for ONTAP, SF & E-Series (NAS & SAN):
   • NetApp Trident plug-in for Jenkins
   • Converged Infrastructure:
     • ONTAP AI: NVIDIA, AFF systems, Docker containers & Trident with NFS
     • FlexPod DataCenter & FlexPod SF with Docker EE
     • FlexPod DataCenter with IBM Cloud Private (ICP) with Kubernetes orchestration
     • FlexPod with NetApp Kubernetes Services
     • NetApp HCI with RedHat OpenShift Container Platform
     • Google Anthos GKE on NetApp HCI with NKS & Trident
     • NetApp integration with Robin Systems Container Orchestration
     • NetApp Trident now integrates with Prometheus
   • Oracle, PostgreSQL & MongoDB in containers with Trident
   • Integration with Moby Project
   • Integration with Mesosphere Project
4. Cloud-native services & Software:
   • NetApp Kubernetes Services (NKS)
     • NKS in public clouds: AWS, Azure, GCP
     • NKS on NetApp HCI platform
     • NKS on VMware on any platform
     • Cloud Manager to Deploy Trident and Cloud Volumes ONTAP
     • Now supported on Azure NetApp Files (ANF)
     • HCI + NKS: DevOps with Trident
     • Terraform provider plugin to deploy Kuberneties clusters using NKS
   • Cloud Insights
     • Monitor Kubernetes environment
     • NKS visibility in Cloud Insights
   • SaaS Backup for Service Providers
5. Other
   • Test NetApp Ansible playbooks in a container
   • Disaster recovery for your Kubernetes master & Trident with SnapMirror
   • NetApp Cloud Insights
   • NetApp SPOT
