Docker And Kubernetes

Docker acquires Infinit: a new data layer for distributed applications - Docker Blog

The short version: Docker acquired a fantastic company called Infinit. Using their technology, we will provide secure distributed storage out of the box, making it much easier to deploy stateful services and legacy enterprise applications on Docker.

Continuous Deployment of Docker Apps to Kubernetes - via @codeship

Reading Time: 3 minutes In the first post of this series, we introduced using Kubernetes for deployments. In this post, we'll get started with integrating Codeship into the workflow. Given a functioning Kubernetes Deployment (remember our discussion from the last post about the difference between deployment and Kubernetes' Deployment), how do we integrate it into our Codeship workflow?

Fire Up BDD Inside Docker With Cucumber and BDDfire - DZone DevOps

The key benefits of behavior-driven development (BDD) practices are communication enhancement and customer satisfaction. You can read more on that from Dan North and Gojko Adzic. Perhaps the biggest practical challenge that stands in the way of reaping those benefits is the burden of provisioning, installation, maintenance of requisite complex and fussy infrastructure and setting up reliable test infrastructure.

Run Nginx proxy in Docker container for HTTP/2

This is a really quick write-up on how I've been running HTTP/2 on my server for the last 2 months, despite having an OS that doesn't support OpenSSL 1.0.2.

Continuous Deployment of Golden Images with Packer and Semaphore

Learn how to use Packer to build an AWS AMI (Amazon Machine Image), configure it to run a Docker image, and continuously deploy the application using Semaphore.

ECS & Vault: Shhhhh... I have a secret... - Kickstarter Engineering

As Kickstarter moves from a monolithic application towards a service oriented architecture, we needed to develop a fast and secure way for a service to programmatically retrieve API tokens, passwords, keys, etc. We are currently managing our containers using Amazon's ECS (Elastic Container Service), which we like for its seamless scalability of Docker containers, and really wanted to secure the application's access to sensitive information.

[EXPERIMENTAL] MicroBadger Metadata API for Docker Hub Images

The Microbadger Metadata API is a simple API that lets you query the build-time labels for any Docker Hub public image. A full description of the API is available on our website, but fundamentally You call our API with the namespace/name of the image you want to query.

How Nextdoor made a 10x improvement in release times with Docker and Amazon ECS

At the beginning of 2016, Nextdoor production releases took about an hour. That is to say, once all the code in the new release was tested and verified, it would still take an entire hour before our users saw those changes.
