Dockerizing brownfield enterprise applications can often be a daunting task - involving changes to the application code/configuration and existing build processes. The DCHQ platform provides “on-the-fly” containerization of both Linux & Windows enterprise applications – including Java, Oracle, .NET and others. By doing so, DCHQ transforms non-cloud-native applications into completely portable applications that can take advantage of cloud scaling, storage redundancy and most importantly, deployment agility without introducing a single change to the application source control repository. In this session, we will cover the deployment automation of an Enterprise Java application with PostgreSQL multi-host cluster set up for Master-Slave replication and automated storage management with redundant EBS volumes on AWS using DCHQ + EMC REX-Ray. We will also cover the deployment automation of an Enterprise .NET application demonstrating the application life-cycle management capabilities post-provision -- including monitoring, alerts, continuous delivery, application backups, scale in/out, in-browser terminal to access the containers, log streaming, and application updates.

Problems:
• App Containerization Requires Code Change (Time & Cost)
• DEV/TEST Cannot Run on Containers if PROD Runs on VM’s
• Container Orchestration Does Not Support Ancillary Services (Storage, Load Balancing,
etc.)
• Enterprise Legacy Apps Not Supported
