The Container Ecosystem team has a charter to explore and engage with emergent projects in server and cloud technology around how they might benefit or integrate with Juju, particularly in the solution space.

You can find us most days on Freenode irc at #Juju.
If you're attending the Juju Charmer Summit in Pasadena CA, this is the section for you!
You've probably already installed Juju either in the main track, or came with prior knowledge. If not, there are instructions for:
You'll likely want to install the 2.0 release, so you can leverage the best of the new features. We dont recommend placing production deployments on juju 2.0 just yet.
There have been a few articles published about charming with docker and layers. I'll assume you're familiar with charm-tools and ready to get started charming with layer-docker.
Start with the Layer-Docker Deep Dive
If you're less interested in creating docker based charms and just want to kick the tires of a container scheduler/manager - give our Kubernetes bundle a go
juju deploy canonical-kubernetes
If you have any further questions, I'm happy to lend a hand. Come find me in the orange shirt :)

A list of projects to follow
A charm layer for use in the charm build process to provide Docker, its principal tooling (docker-compose), and maintain an up-to-date docker daemon on the unit.
Flannel is an overlay network developed by CoreOS. This particular charm layer makes use of the Docker Layer, and delivers Flannel in a bootstrap docker instance to configure docker networking on the host, delivered from an app container, to effect change on the workload-runtime docker on the unit.
Kubernetes is a container orchestrator and scheduler. This layer is built on top of the Docker Layer. This layer currently launches both leader and worker nodes to each unit. This is a rewrite from the existing k8's charm which does bin on host delivery to delivering K8s via docker containers. It also ships with SkyDNS and Cadvisor visualization addons
charms.docker provides charm authors a python library with a clean and readable way to interface with
the docker CLI as well as configure the Docker deamon via the DockerOpts manager.
Etcd is a key/value store created by CoreOS and is used in several application-container based solutions, such as Kubernetes. This layer encapsulates the knowledge the ~containers team has working with etcd and delivers a stable healthy etcd cluster.
The kubernetes-bundle allows you to deploy the many services of Kubernetes to a cloud environment and get started using the Kubernetes technology quickly.

Kubernetes Layer
Deploy Kubernetes-core hooked into an ELK cluster to aggregate all your container workload logs. Mine and visualize your container infrastructure log messaging with Kibana4.
Resources: Charm Store
The Elastic Stack — that's Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana — are open source projects that help you take data from any source, any format and search, analyze, and visualize it in real time.
This bundle deploys the core services that comprise the ELK stack.
Resources: Charm Store Source code
Consul is a tool for discovering and configuring services. This charm deploys a Consul server instance to a public cloud that join with other Consul servers to form a fully functioning cluster.
Features include: Service Discovery, Health Checking, Key/Value Store, and Multi Datacenter
Resources:
Etcd is a highly available distributed key value store that provides a reliable way to store data across a cluster of machines. Etcd gracefully handles master elections during network partitions and will tolerate machine failure, including the master.
Resources: Charm Store Etcd Layer
Drone is a continuous integration platform built on Docker, written in Golang.
This charm will deploy a single Drone CI server to execute builds against your git repositories hosted by either: GitHub, GitLab, Gogs, or BitBucket.
Drone CI has a flexible job configuration via a single .drone.yml include in
your repository. For more information, see the
upstream documentation.

The DNS charm is unique in that it wraps several other services to provide a common gateway to automatically provisioning your DNS configuration. Regardless if you are setting up a BIND cluster, PowerDNS, or integrating with a third party provider (such as Amazon Rt53, or GoDaddy).
By default the charm will deploy a configured Bind9 server, assuming it is the authoritative master of the configured domain(s).
Specific instructions how to extend/add providers is outlined in docs/HACKING.md

DEPRECATED Docker Charm | Charm Store
A charm for deploying a cluster of docker hosts that support extension by charms for service discovery, networking, logging and other fine things.
DEPRECATED Swarm Charm
A subordinate charm which enables the use of swarm for scheduling and placement onto host deployed with the docker charm
DEPRECATED Flannel-docker Charm | Charm Store
Subordinate charm for SDN for charm deployed docker hosts
DEPRECATED Calico-docker Charm
Subordinate charm for SDN for charm deployed docker hosts
DEPRECATED Hakkasan
Pluggable ad hoc docker orchestration stack solution w/ dns, service discovery and load balancing.
Want to dive in and hack with us? Interested in writing a charm using docker or lxd? Awesome, check out how where to find us and how to contribute.

- Declared interfaces / data points
- contribution workflow
We have lots of ideas and would love to hear yours. Some things we are considering:
- CI/CD workflows using containers for isolation and moving code through the pipeline.
Things we think would be awesome to implement.
- Juju deploy-src: deploy charms and bundles directly from hosted scm
- Mesos/Marathon/Aurora bundle
- Juju provider for Marathon
- Docker machine integration for docker charm
