Docker’s strengthening its infrastructure components to accommodate the volume of use and wide range of use cases that inevitably crop up from such hockey-stick growth. The latest improvements come by way of refinements made to Docker Hub over the last month, according to an announcement made by the company yesterday. The Docker Hub team reported […]
Gartner gives Docker security an ambivalent thumbs up
As organizations continue to evaluate wider spread use of containerization to enable continuous deployment, security concerns around the wildly popular Docker keep popping up. Last week, an analyst with Gartner published a report that gave Docker security positive marks with some big caveats. Written by Joerg Fritsch, the report examined the security properties of Docker. […]
Containers Are Designed For an Antiquated Application Architecture
In his most recent GigaOm article, “We’re finally headed towards autonomous, self-migrating containers for cloud-application automation“, David Linthicum discusses the value that containers, such as Docker and CoreOS Rocket, are bringing to DevOps and cloud systems management. For the record nothing Dave states in the article is incorrect with regard to the expressed value that […]
Equalizing IT infrastructure with DevOps
IT is getting more complex. Managing on-premise servers, cloud servers, and hybrid environments that span various operating systems and standards creates challenges for IT admins. DevOps technologies and platforms, however, can be an equalizing force among the cloud chaos—making it easier for organizations to deploy servers and applications quickly and consistently regardless of platform or […]
Native support for Docker apps coming soon to Parallels
When I think of Parallels, the first thing that comes to mind is virtual machines. I have used Parallels for years as a means of running a virtualized instance of a Windows operating system from within Mac OS X. In addition to virtual machines, though, Parallels was also doing containers before containers were cool, and […]
Copying Data From One Docker Container to Another
Docker containers can easily be compared to a directory. A Docker container holds everything that is required for an application to run including its dependencies and can be started, stopped, moved and deleted at will. When containers are activated they use Linux kernel namespaces. Each container operates in isolation from the server apart from networking […]
Docker vs VMs
All applications have their own dependencies, which include both software and hardware resources. Docker containers bring numerous unknown tags to the chart as compared to existing technologies in use. In terms of technology, it’s quite interesting in scenarios where it helps in promoting cloud portability by running the same applications in different virtual environments. Docker […]
Microsoft determined not to get left behind by DevOps
Microsoft is a massive company—a behemoth with a lot of inertia, and a lot of bureaucracy in place that make it difficult to adapt quickly. Under Satya Nadella, however, Microsoft is striving to re-invent itself, and—to the extent that it is possible—become more agile. For evidence of Microsoft’s new philosophy, look at how Microsoft is […]
Microsoft partners with Docker to bring containers to Windows Server
Docker has taken the DevOps world by storm, and that has caught the attention of Microsoft. Now, Microsoft and Docker are teaming up to bring native support for the container technology to the next generation(s) of Windows Server. Docker is an open platform that enables organizations to run any application as a Docker container. The […]
Why We Build in Docker Containers
We are using Docker as a virtualization technology for our continuous delivery/deployment pipelines, in Rultor.com. We experimented with other technologies and Docker’s approach proved to be the best fit for our needs. Docker is a command line tool that can run a shell command in a virtual Linux, inside an isolated file system. Every time we build, we […]
