DockerCon 2016 Videos: Use Case Track
The Use Case track at DockerCon 2016 covered practical applications of Docker. Speakers shared their experiences implementing Docker with technical details and advice on implementation.
Watch all of the awesome talks (and check out the slides) from the Use Case Track at DockerCon 2016 below!
Live Debugging with Docker
During the DockerCon 2016 keynote, I demonstrated a development workflow with Docker for Mac, going from a fresh laptop to a running app in no time. The especially cool part was when I live-debugged a Node.js app running inside a container from my IDE, despite having no Node.js runtime installed on my laptop. Here I’m going to show you how to do it yourself.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Docker: I recommend Docker for Mac or Windows, which are in public beta.
- An IDE which supports Node.js remote debugging: I used Visual Studio Code.
- A Node.js application: I’ll create a simple one as part of this tutorial.
Example Application
Create a directory to work from:
$ mkdir node-example $ cd node-example
To get our app running, we’ll need 5 files:
- A JavaScript file to contain the actual app code
- A
package.jsonto define the npm dependencies - An HTML template
- A
Dockerfileto package the whole app in a container - A Compose file to set up a development environment. (The Compose file will also come in very handy if the app ever grows beyond a single container, but we won’t bother with that today.)

Support from the Source: Getting Official Docker Support
Docker is the open platform to build, ship and run any application, anywhere. Whether legacy or microservices, Linux or Windows, Docker provides an OS, infrastructure and application architecture agnostic platform for developers and IT organizations to accelerate their application pipeline. Organizations often look for additional tooling and support as they look to bring Dockerized applications into production with SLAs that mirror their own service level commitments to their customers. Docker is available as free open source software or combined with commercial support with enterprise class service levels.
Open Source Support
The Docker team and community collaborate together to release updates to the Docker Engine and other related projects every couple of months. Open source support for the Docker Engine is provided through IRC, GitHub, and Docker Forums for the latest released version of Docker software. Any bugs and issues are filed, in the open, to the Docker repo for contributors and maintainers to ask for more information and discuss resolutions. Fixes and patches are then applied and released as incremental versions to the upstream Docker software.
Docker Commercial Support
Docker also provides commercial support for the upstream Docker Engine software directly and through authorized support partners. Commercial Continue reading

ADP + Docker Datacenter Delivers Security and Scale for Both Legacy and Microservices Applications
At DockerCon 2016, the second day’s general session featured products and stories related to Docker running in the enterprise. From product demonstrations of integrated security features, to deployment templates to a session featuring Keith Fulton, CTO of ADP, speaking about their evolution to a tech company and how Docker Datacenter enables them to ship faster, securely at scale across apps big and small.
ADP is the largest global provider of cloud based human capital management (HCM) solutions. ADP has over 630,000 clients that span more than 35 million users in over 100 countries. More than just payroll services, ADP delivers solutions across the entire spectrum of HCM for their customers in each one of these areas with right sized versions for SMBs, mid market and large enterprises.
This breadth and depth of solutions developed over the last 60 years does lead to some complexity in product development. ADP views this as a transition from a services company to a technology company and Docker is the key to future acceleration. Speeding up product development, not just in writing more code faster, but also helping ADP ship the resulting end product faster. Docker enables them to have a common Continue reading

Zenly + Docker 1.12 + 1M teenagers
Zenly is a mobile app that helps you locate your friends in real time. Recently the Zenly app reached the million registered users mark — and half of them signed up in the last three months.
In the words of Steeve Morin, VP Engineering of Zenly, “Behold, the power of teenagers.”
The rapid growth in users, traffic and data points generated posed new challenges for the Zenly team.
As one of the early users of Docker 1.12, the Zenly team shared their experience during the keynote presentation at DockerCon US 2016 in Seattle.
Here is the story as told by Steeve, JB Daildo and Corentin Kerisit:
The sudden growth of traffic has been both amazing and a real challenge to scale, not on our production stack, but our analytics pipeline as our app started to generate half a billion events a day and counting. Our analytics stack was starting to experience failures due to scaling issues, the costs were rising with how we were running the cluster in the cloud and our 6 person team was challenged in supporting it while also building, scaling and supporting the Zenly app.
What we wanted was to Continue reading

Technology Short Take #68
Welcome to Technology Short Take #68, my erratically-published collection of links, articles, and posts from around the web—all focused on today’s major data center technologies. I’ve been trying to stick to a schedule that has these posts published on a Friday, but given the pending holiday weekend I wanted to get this out a bit early. As always, I hope that something I’ve included here proves useful to you.
Networking
- Brent Salisbury retweeted a ton of MACVLAN- and IPVLAN-related posts right after I published the last Technology Short Take, so they had to get bumped to this one. First, we have this post on HiCube, which covers MACVLAN vs. IPVLAN. Next, we have a pair of articles by Sreenivas Makam; the first covers MACVLAN and IPVLAN basics, while the second tackles the Docker MACVLAN and IPVLAN network plugins. Both articles are useful, IMHO, especially considering that MACVLAN is no longer experimental as of the Docker 1.12 release.
- I recently came across this mention of in-band network telemetry (INT), which looks really powerful. I think this will be something worth watching.
- Oh, and while we’re discussing P4: Diego Dompe has an article talking about OpenSwitch and P4 that Continue reading
OVS Integration with Debian Network Scripts
I had a reader contact me recently with some questions regarding the use of Open vSwitch (OVS) on Debian “Jessie” 8.5 and using the OVS integration with the Debian network scripts. For those of you that might be unfamiliar with this functionality, it’s the ability to configure OVS via instructions and directives found in the /etc/network/interfaces file. As I was helping this reader, I came across a couple potential “gotchas” that I wanted to point out here.
First, I’ll point you to the documentation for the Debian network scripts integration, which is found in this file in the “Debian network scripts integration” section. This documentation provides the complete breakdown of the various commands that can be used in /etc/network/interfaces to configure OVS.
Based on that documentation, you could create an OVS bridge and add a physical port to that bridge by including the following stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces:
allow-ovs ovsbr0
iface ovsbr0 inet manual
ovs_type OVSBridge
ovs_ports eth1
allow-ovsbr0 eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
ovs_bridge ovsbr0
ovs_type OVSPort
Now for the gotchas…
The Debian “Jessie” repos include version 2.3.0 of OVS; the latest release in the 2.3.x train is 2.3.3. As it turns Continue reading
