Hyper - Hypervisor-agnostic Docker Runtime
What is Hyper?
Hyper is a hypervisor-agnostic tool that allows you to run Docker images on any hypervisor.
Why Hyper?
Hyper combines the best from both world: VM and Container.
| - | Container | VM | Hyper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isolation | Weak, shared kernel | Strong, HW-enforced | Strong, HW-enforced |
| Portable | Yes, but kernel dependent sometimes | No, hypervisor dependent | Yes, hypervisor agnostic and portable image |
| Boot | Fast, sub-second | Slow, tens of seconds | Fast, sub-second |
| Performance | Great | OK | Good, minimal resource footprint and overhead |
| Immutable | Yes | No, configuration management required | Yes, only kernel+image |
| Image Size | Small, MBs | Big, GBs | Small, MBs |
| Compatibility | No, need new tools | Great, everything just works | Good, it is still a "Machine", much less changes |
| Mature | Not yet | Production ready, SDN, SDS, LiveMigration, etc. | Yes, just plug-&-play |
| ROI | Rebuild everything with container | - | Reuse your virtual infrastructure |
*BYOK = bring your own kernel
Requirements
- Docker 1.5 or later
- QEMU 2.0 or later
- Xen 4.5 and VT enabled host (for Xen support)
Installation
Ensure you are running Linux (kernel 3.8 or later) and have Docker (version 1.5 or later) and QEMU (version 2.0 or later) installed. Then install hyper with
curl -sSL https://hyper.sh/install | bash
Or download the binary tarball and install it directly.
To run hyper, just type hyper if you've installed packages.
For information on using the command line, just type hyper. You may use
hyper <command> --help for detailed information on any specific command.
Example
Build From Source
Clone hyper in GoPath
> cd ${GOPATH}/src
> git clone https://github.com/hyperhq/hyper.git hyper
And make sure you have go (>= 1.4), godep, and autotools, go into the hyper dir
> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure
> make
Then you can get the binaries hyperd daemon and hyper cmdline tool.
You may also need the kernel and initrd from HyperStart to run your own hyper.
