Is it possible to use Google Containers privately not in the Cloud?

I'm researching:

The goal is to use something of these 2 on our own physical boxes with Linux in the enterprise for Dev/Prod. However, I've read that Google reimplemented LXC (Linux Containers) and use their own lmctfy instead.

Is it possible to use Google Containers on my Linux boxes without their cloud space? Your experience is highly appreciated.

Solution

  • Not sure I fully understand the question, but neither kubernetes (the framework on which Google Container Engine runs) nor docker require a particular cloud provider. AFAIK, you can use docker containers on any linux distro, and kubernetes supports a number of configurations for running on your own machines. See kubernetes getting started guides for details.
