* CI/CD - Enable developers to develop and test applications more quickly and within any environment * DEVOPS - Break down barriers between Dev and Ops teams to improve the app development process * BIG DATA - Empower your enterprise to leverage big data analytics * INFRASTRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION - Decrease infrastructure costs while increasing its efficiency * QUICKLY SCALE - Docker containers spin up and down in seconds, making it easy to scale application services to satisfy peak customer demand, and then reduce running containers when demand ebbs. * SHIP 7X MORE - On average, Docker user’s ship 7X more software after deploying Docker in their environment. More frequent software updates provide added value to customers.

* Clear-cut, object-based configuration - Icinga 2 introduces a new object-based, rule-driven configuration format, which offers user-friendly features such as apply rules for dynamic object generation. * Clever commands & runtime macros - Commands in Icinga 2 are smarter than their Nagios™-style cousins. * Logical Dependencies - Say goodbye to confusing parent/child relationships. Dependencies in Icinga 2 are straightforward; they can be defined as host-host, service-service or mixed (host-service and service-host) and all work in the same manner. * Apply & assign attributes - Keep configuration work to a minimum by defining templates to ”apply” to configuration objects. Apply services and notifications to hosts, or downtimes and dependencies to services for example. * Dynamic Notifications - Similar to Icinga 1, event handlers and notifications are supported. Thanks to the new dynamic configuration format, users can adjust notification settings at runtime (e.g. in order to implement on-call rotation).
