I recently did a technical review for “Mastering Ansible” book by Jesse Keating. This book covers usage of Ansible for automation with practical examples. If anyone is interested, please look at the book. Pre-requisite is to have basic Ansible knowledge. Ansible is similar to configuration management tools like Chef, Puppet. Agent-less architecture and short learning … Continue reading Ansible book – Technical review→
Following link captures the slides on Docker 1.9 feature overview that I presented at Docker Meetup, Bangalore on December 5, 2015. You can find more details on the meetup here.
Docker Toolbox simplifies the creation of Docker environment for Windows and Mac. This deprecates boot2docker. Following components are included in Docker Toolbox. Docker Client Docker Machine Docker Compose (Mac only) Docker Kitematic VirtualBox I recently tried out Docker Toolbox. I had few issues to get it working and after some hiccups, I was able to … Continue reading Docker Toolbox→

This blog is a continuation of my previous blog on Docker Experimental Networking. In this blog, I will walk through the example mentioned in this link where experimental Docker is integrated with Compose and Swarm. I have made some modifications here and I will cover this here. I will create 2 applications in this example using Docker … Continue reading Docker Experimental Networking – 3→

This blog is a continuation of my previous blog on Docker Experimental Networking. In this blog, I will cover an example of Docker container connectivity using bridge and overlay driver. Following is a sample usecase that I tried: Container C1 in host H1 will be able to talk to Container C3 in Host H2 using … Continue reading Docker Experimental Networking – 2→

Networking support in Docker was primitive till now. Single host connectivity was through Linux bridge and there was no native mechanism to connect Containers across hosts. With Pipework, we could do a hacky approach to connect Containers across hosts. Companies like Socketplane, Weave have been working to address this Networking gap. I have written multiple … Continue reading Docker Experimental Networking – 1→

In this blog, I will cover Flocker from ClusterHQ which is used for Container data/volume management. I will cover some Flocker basics and some hands-on stuff that I tried with Flocker. Docker Volumes: Docker volumes are used to store persistent data that is outside the scope of the Container Union file system. 1 common example … Continue reading Flocker – Docker Data volumes→

1 of the big announcements in Dockercon 2015 was the Open Container project(OCP). OCP is an Opensource project under Linux foundation to define a common Container format. Container format, runtime and platform mean different things. There are many Container formats, runtime and multiple acronyms surrounding it. In this blog, I have tried to capture my … Continue reading Containers – Format, Runtime and Platform→
