You change your docker-compose, push and we detect via webhook and deploy. Logs, metrices everything from command line with bubble tee or something.
Most companies have brilliant engineers and shortsighted, incompetent out of touch product teams.
okay so swarm is dead, but is kubernetes actually that good or is it just ubiquitous and you’re forced to use it today? what about nomad? or mrsk?
Nomad is awesome and works at scale. The engineers continue to battle harden it and it’s a joy to work with. You do have to manage things like service discovery (usually with consul) and traffic routing separately - but the integration with vault is sublime. About the only real negative of Nomad is that it doesn’t have the mindshare that k8s does, so you don’t see the amount of developer engagement in extending it th…
The narrative seems quite clear to me. They released the tooling and the services to become the defacto solution, and then Swarm was supposed to be the cashcow that turned that into cashflow. And then k8s happened. They've raised a tonne of capital, and it probably looked sane at the time. And now they're grasping at straws trying to figure out how else they can turn this into revenue. A lot of the recent narrative h…
I rather have to deal with WebSphere 6.1 yet again, than a poorer replication of its developer experience with lesser tooling.
In its weird death spiral, if Docker Inc. were to be bought out by Microsoft, I shudder to think how much of the dev ecosystem would yet again depend on Microsoft's good graces to shoulder the burden of storage and data transfer costs for building products. They already do npm and Github (+ Github Container Registry) so they have some standing in being stewards in this space. On the plus side, it would perhaps give e…
>Microsoft, the famed supervillain of open communities. FOSS: "Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with Microsoft." Microsoft: "What about side by side with a friend?" FOSS:
Who would imagine that 20 years later, Microsoft would become yet again a Java vendor, with their own OpenJDK based distribution and upstream contributions to ARM JIT, and escape analysis improvements?

> model of sending around megabytes-to-multigigabytes of VMs is inherently too expensive Yes. I think automated build pipelines running 24x7 that could request even for the oldest version of a sizable image without caching at their end is part of the issue. There was no limit that I'm aware of on the no. of tags/versions per image or per OSS account on DockerHub, so just like package repositories, effectively every i…
The ISO mirrors of every Linux / BSD* have been successful for decades. Decentralized repositories could solve many problems. Add Bittorrent as acceptable usage pattern like the free AI community is using to solve it even further, the Internet was not designed to be centralized IMHO.

>The kernel of truth is that the technology itself isn’t valuable; it’s the /humanization/ of a technology, how it interfaces with the people who use it every day. Apple in a nutshell.
Apple even takes it even one step further: they understood (Just like haute couture, cosmetics and luxury watch brands before them) that it's neither the product nor the technology nor even the interface itself that's what's really valuable (in the sense of: monetizeable), but the user EXPERIENCE in the sense of how it makes the user FEEL. Which is Why Apple excels in brand marketing. If you want a cash cow, you don'…
We used to buy the whole vertical experience, from hardware, OS integration and peripherals.
The clone market, which IBM failed to prevent, kind of broke this down.
Yet it is no surprise that OEMs nowadays try to bring this model back, not only because of Apple, also because it is the only means to differentiate themselves, while recovering the margins that have been lost all these years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_Containers 2004 I will just leave it here.
Yes, Solaris was doing "containers" in the mainstream before Linux but pointing that out as a response to articles like these misses the point of how and why Docker exploded; it was Docker's UI, the user experience and Docker Hub that really unlocked the full potential of the technology. Solaris containers didn't have anything like Docker Hub nor was setting them up as easy as "docker run". (Posting as ex-Solaris guy…
My introduction to containers was in HP-UX in 1999, via the HP Vault infrastructure.
Tru64, while short lived in the market, also had similar ideas.
And then there is the whole linage of mainframe and micro computers from IBM.

> if Docker Inc. were to be bought out by Microsoft... You can always use Podman. We already have fully OSS solutions in the container space.
On my personal computer and projects I always use Podman. There is even a fancy web app if people desperately want a cool icon on their menu bar, though it pales in comparison to Docker Desktop in features. (For instance, it's not able to search for images, whereas Docker Desktop can). I do not miss Docker at all considering that I can copy paste almost every docker invocation I see online and have it run flawlessly…
I know I will get downvoted for this as off topic, but this is just the latest blog we've seen in this top 30 of many that show ZERO regard for legibility. Yes, I can zoom my browser, but c'mon. A 13px font for paragraph text is nearly hostile. It's not that legible to people with perfect eyesight, but then it's not at all legible to anyone with imperfect eyesight. It's like saying you don't care if anyone who reads…
Besides:
- Nearly if not all desktops allow to scale. If your eyeseight is that bad you should set it at desktop level anyway.
- All browsers and terminal emulators allows one to use his own defined fonts and size.
- Nearly if not all browsers and terminal emulators now allows you to zoom dynamically for that odd website and keep that preference.
- Firefox has reader mode, I guess similar extensions exists for most browsers.
> And given how very simple it is to change, it's kind of insulting, s
Changing by which size? 16px, 32px, 64px? There is no single form of universality regarding eyesight. And I would argue that if your eyeseight is bad, the solution are prescription glasses, not websites with huge fonts.
