The vSphere Docker Volume Service provides enterprise-grade high-performance storage and data services for container management using Photon Machine persistent datastore. Key features include simple installation, compatibility with Docker, multi-tenancy, and data services for container volumes, all of which are currently in beta and open-source. The document also outlines installation steps, volume creation commands, and management functions for vSphere admins, emphasizing ease of use and operational simplicity.
