Abstract
Described herein is a technology which facilitates an effective and efficient management of a data center. In one implementation, the data center includes a container cloud manager which embeds container framework, such as Docker framework to manage App images and containers of the data center. An App image is packed back to a container which starts when the App image is requested. The use of container is lightweight and starts fast, avoiding the need for installation of the App. Furthermore, the data center is a distributed management system, which includes multiple copies of an App image as well as multiple copies of the cloud container manager. This ensures continuous operation of the data center.
