Thomas Weise commented on APEXCORE-796:
---------------------------------------
The ability for Apex to be packaged as and run in a Docker container would help
to enable deployment on any platform that supports Docker containers, including
YARN. There will be of course a piece of code that launches the application
that has to have knowledge of the target platform, and possibly also the master
process to support dynamic resource allocation.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-796
> Project: Apache Apex Core
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Priority: Major
> Labels: roadmap
>
> Apex should support deployment using Docker as alternative to application
> packages. Docker images provide a simple and standard way to package
> dependencies and solve isolation from the host environment. This will be
> particularly helpful when applications depend on native, non-JVM packages
> like Python and R, that otherwise need to be installed separately. Docker
> support will also be a step towards supporting other cluster managers like
> Kubernetes, Mesos and Swarm.
