CHAPTER 8 HPE's End-to-End Docker Solution 63 These materials are © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Any dissemination, distribution, or unauthorized use is strictly prohibited. The combination of Docker-ready HPE servers and infrastruc- ture provisioning and management tools, such as HPE OneView, provides the option for a reliable, fast, and repeatable solution for deploying bare-metal Docker hosts that are supported jointly by Docker and HPE. Consider utilizing a hybrid approach toward Docker hosts as described in the HPE Reference Configuration for Docker Datacenter on Bare Metal with Persistent Docker Volumes, because this offers the flexibility to only scale up the bare-metal HPE ProLiant DL360 Docker UCP work nodes when you have workloads ready and suited for bare-metal deployments. Even if moving to bare-metal containers is not something you're able to take advantage of today, you can still gain performance and resource utilization improvements by consolidating your work- loads to fewer, larger virtual machines with a higher count of container workloads in each. This option is typically better than replacing the "one workload per VM" with a "one container per VM" model.
