Chapter 2. Creating a Container

There are several ways to create a new container. The way in which you create the container depends on where the container will be located and the features you want the container to do.

Creating a Child Container
Creating a Root Container
Creating a Container in a Cloud

When you add a container to a fabric, you are given the option to create one of the following container types:

  • child container—a container that is collocated with a parent container

    [Tip]Tip

    Child containers require less application code to be downloaded to the host machine. The child container uses the same container binary as its parent container.

  • remote root container—a container located on a remote host that is capable of spawning child containers

    [Important]Important

    Creating a root container requires that the host machine has ssh enabled.

  • cloud-managed Fuse container—a root container that is hosted on a cloud infrastructure

    [Note]Note

    Fuse Management Console uses the jCloud library to access the cloud infrastructure.

You must also decide if the new container is going to be a registry server for the fabric.

[Tip]Tip

Registry servers should not be placed in child containers and should not host any other services such as a message broker or business application.
