The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
Detroit, known by its nickname “Motor City'', is a bustling and beautiful city filled with dazzling architecture, food, history, and of course, people.This year, it was home to KubeCon 2022. The city is close to home for Jake and I, 45 minutes from where we started Cycle; it was wonderful seeing how the city has grown the last few years. The art deco style buildings loomed overhead, and the smell of freshly cooked food wafted through the downtown area just outside the venue.
An avid bird-watcher once told me that for bird-watching beginners, it’s more important to focus on learning about the birds and identifying their unique songs rather than trying to find the perfect pair of binoculars.
It’s a fact of life: as the Kubernetes API evolves, it’s periodically reorganized or upgraded. This means some Kubernetes resources can be deprecated and later removed. We deserve to keep track of those deprecations and removals easily. For that, we have just released the new deprecated-api-versions policy for Kubewarden, our efficient Kubernetes policy engine that runs policies compiled to Wasm.
Docker is one of the most popular containerization technologies. It is a simple-to-use, developer-friendly tool, and has advantages over other similar technologies that make using it smooth and easy. Since its first open-source release in March 2013, Docker has gained attention from developers and ops engineers. According to Docker Inc., Docker users have downloaded over 105 billion containers and 'dockerized' 5.8 million containers on Docker Hub. The project has over 32K stars on Github.
In part I of this tutorial, we developed a Python API then we used Docker and Docker Compose to containerize the application and create a development environment. In part II, we are going to discover some other details about Docker and Docker Compose as well as how to deploy the same app to a GKE cluster.
