Hyper-V Containers combine virtualization with containerization
Containers are all the rage these days. You’re just not cool if you’re not using Docker or some other container technology to build and deploy your IT infrastructure. Traditional containers, however, lack sufficient security for some industries and companies, so Microsoft developed Hyper-V Containers. Container platforms like Docker and Rocket have significant momentum and have […]

Containers: Secure or Not, Here They Are
Containers are here. And it doesn’t mater whether or not containers are a transitional technology (they are, as our JP Morgenthal covered in Containers are designed for an antiquate application architecture) until all applications are designed for cloud and web-scale, containers will be part of the cloud and virtualization scene. Right now, containers are white […]
8 Signs of Docker Ecosystem Empire-Building

Are VMs becoming El Caminos?
In 2010, it looked as if virtualization had won. We expected all servers to virtualize workloads and the primary question was which cloud infrastructure manager would dominate. Now in 2015, the picture is not as clear. I’m seeing a trend that threatens the “virtualize all things” battle cry. Really, it’s two intersecting trends: metal is […]
Docker tinkers with Docker Hub for performance improvements

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 […]
Webinar: Managing CoreOS Container Performance for Production Workloads
As containers grow in importance, Linux distributions focused on container performance and management also are becoming mainstream. One of the most prevalent of these distributions is CoreOS. But how are real businesses using containers and CoreOS, and how are they monitoring container performance. After attending this webinar, you will have a better understanding of: * […]
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 […]

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 […]
