Container Experience Kits
Intel has been working with partners and with open source communities to address barriers to commercial containers-networking adoption and to deliver consumable capabilities concerning configuration, manageability, performance, service-assurance, and resilience. The container bare metal experience kits are a set of collateral introducing the newly developed open sourced consumable capabilities. The collection of all the container bare metal experience kits creates a library of best practice guidelines to address containers-bare-metal networking development and deployability gaps. It includes a variety of documents and demonstrations targeting developers, product leads, and a sales and marketing audience.
