Container technology is sending shock waves through the world of cloud computing. Heralded as the ‘next big thing,’ containers provide software owners a consistent way to package their software and dependencies while infrastructure operators benefit from a standard way to deploy and run them. Containers present new challenges for tracking usage due to their dynamic nature. They can also be deployed to bare metal, virtual machines and various cloud platforms. How do software owners track the usage of their services for licensing and billing purposes?
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Delano Seymour, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer
at 6fusion, discussed how to meter and track your services using a consumption-based methodology that keeps pace with this cutting-edge technology.
