Here’s my presentation from container.camp: If you’re interested in a deeper dive then take a look at the Container Networking Tutorial I did for ONUG.


Weave is an overlay networking system for Docker containers. Whilst Docker can already link containers on a single host, Weave provides connectivity for containers that are spread across multiple hosts. It has been released under the Apache 2 open source license by Zettio, a new company targeting ‘apps for the zettabyte era’ founded by RabbitMQ […]


This is my first longer article for InfoQ (rather than being a news item), and it’s intended to be a comprehensive backgrounder on Docker: ‘an overview of the Docker journey so far and where it is headed along with its growing ecosystem of tools for orchestration, composition and scaling. This article provides both a business […]


Before writing my InfoQ story about Flocker I ran through my now usual process of getting my 3 tier demo[1] working on it (in addition to running through the getting started guide[2]). What I found is that Flocker doesn’t yet support multi container apps, but then it is only at release 0.1 (and proper multi […]


Flocker is a volume and container management system for Docker based on ZFS. It allows for stateful containers, such as databases, to be moved between virtual or physical hosts. This provides a capability that is analogous to the live migration features of some virtual machine hypervisors. Version 0.1 has been released by ClusterHQ as an […]


Just as I did with Fig I had a go at composing my three tier demo app with CenturyLink’s Panamax as I was writing my InfoQ piece on the launch. You can see the resulting todomvc.pmx template file in GitHub (and see that it’s very similar to my fig.yml), but it’s a visual tool, so let’s […]


CenturyLink has launched Panamax, a tool that they describe as ‘Docker Management for Humans’. Panamax distinguishes itself from other composition tools for Docker by offering a web based user interface, which can be used to compose multiple Docker containers into templates that can then be shared on GitHub. Alongside the launch of the open source […]


Docker based platform as a service (PaaS) Deis has announced integration with Docker Hub as a source for container images. This complements their existing integration with git. The open source platform is built on Docker and CoreOS to present a Heroku inspired workflow. continue reading the full story at InfoQ


This post originally appeared on the CohesiveFT blog The Docker subsystem available since version 3.5 allows additional virtualized network functions (VNFs) to be run on VNS3. I’ve previously written about using this capability for content caching, SSL termination and load balancing. This time I’ll cover using it as a network intrusion detection system (NIDS). Introducing Suricata […]


Docker Inc have announced their acquisition of Orchard Labs, a provider of hosted Docker services. Orchard are also the developers of Fig, a composition and orchestration tool for multi container Docker applications. The London based Orchard team is two strong, with prolific developers Ben Firshman and Aanand Prasad. continue reading the full story at InfoQ
