There has been much confusion around the container entrypoint and parameters. This post will shed some light on this topic and present an script to serve as an flexible entrypoint.
For the third time in a row, I co-organized a regional IT conference held in Freiburg, Germany. This time, I contributed a talk about covering the following topics:
Last week I had the chance to talk about observability at our local Devsmeetup. As usual, after the talk we had a very lively discussion about monitoring in general but also about Prometheus and long term storage.
Last week I had the honour of talking again at Container Conf in Mannheim. I consider this conference to be the best German event in the container space. Just like in the two previous years I talked about news with regard to containers. But this year, I decided to stop focussing on Docker but covered Kubernetes as well.
When working with Kubernetes for the first time, the concept of a pod feels strange because Docker has not prepared us for it ;-) But the idea of a pod can be useful when working with Docker. This post will demonstrate how to use a pod to deploy isolated environments for workshops.
In a workshop situation, attendees must be able to follow the material in a personal hands-on environment. Docker helps isolating such environments and prevents issues from using the attendees’ laptop. Let me show you how to provide dedicated environments using shellinabox.
I had the honour to contribute two workshops about Docker to an called Sommercampus held by the faculty of engineering of the university Freiburg:
The demos are part of the slides.
I am very happy to announce that I have been awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in Cloud and Datacenter Management again.
Thank you, Microsoft, for recognizing my contributions to the community.
This week, I attended a new kind of conference organized by dpunkt, heise Developer and iX. They decided to have most half-day workshops with only one keynote-like talk per day. I was able to contribute one of the half-day workshops for advanced users of Docker.
Products for continuous integration and continuous delivery have become a commodity. But among them is a growing number isolating build steps in containers. Instead of using a fully integrated product, I have created a tool called insulatr to execute builds in containers without the need for a server component or scheduler.
