Meet the winners of the Holberton School and Docker hackathon
The last weekend in February, Holberton School and Docker held a joint Docker Hackathon where current students spent 24 hours making cool Docker hacks. Students were joined by Docker mentors who helped them along the way in addition to serving as judges for the final products.
Here are some highlights from the hackathon.
Third place goes to… Julien, a personal assistant built with Docker and Alexa by Bobby and Larry
In their own words:
After discussing a few ideas, we settled on the idea of doing a Docker/Alexa integration that would abstract away repetitive command line interactions, allowing the user/developer to check the state of her Docker containers, and easily deploy them to production, only using voice commands. Hands free, we would prompt Alexa to interact with our Docker images and containers in various ways (ex1: “spin up image file x on server y”, “list all running containers on server z”, “deploy image a from server x to server y”) and Alexa would do it.
The main technical hurdle of the project was securely communicating between Alexa and our VMs running. To do this we used the Java JSch library. This class gave us the ability to programmatically shell into Continue reading

Datanauts 076: Understanding AWS Vs. Azure
The Datanauts talk with Eric Shanks about the differences between AWS and Azure, how organizations choose a public cloud provider, the reasons application architecture are so critical, and how to deal with worries about cloud lock-in.

Martin Casado doesn’t have a proper job since he left VMware. This gives him times to think deeply about the future of IT security as part of his role of wasting investors money at A16Z and considering where the next advances or futures will be. This video makes a lot of sense to me.
Once upon a time, we thought of security measures as being built like a wall around a medieval city. Then, as threats grew in complexity, we began to think of it more like securing a city or nation-state. Finally, security grew alike to aerial warfare — mobile, quick, wide-ranging. Each of these new modes for thinking about security represented a major misalignment between the security threats that had evolved and our strategies/tactics for dealing with them.
Now we are once again at another such major misalignment — thanks largely to the cloud and new complexity — requiring both a shift in how we think about and respond to threats. But we also have security “overload” given the vast size of our systems and scale of notifications.
How do security threats develop? How should CEOs and CSOs think of planning for them? What role will AI and Continue reading
Roadblocks, Fast Lanes for China’s Enterprise IT Spending
The 13th Five Year Plan and other programs to bolster cloud adoption among Chinese businesses like the Internet Plus effort have lit a fire under China’s tech and industrial sectors to modernize IT operations.
However, the growth of China’s cloud and overall enterprise IT market is far slower than in other nations. while there is a robust hardware business in the country, the traditional view of enterprise-class software is still sinking in, leaving a gap between hardware and software spending. Further, the areas that truly drive tech spending, including CPUs and enterprise software and services, are the key areas …

Container Namespaces – How to add networking to a docker container
Today, lets deep dive into adding interfaces to a container manually and in-turn gain some insight into how all of this works. Since this discussion is going to revolve around network namespaces I assume you have some background in that area. If you are new to the concept of namespaces and network namespaces, I recommend reading this.
Step 1: We will first bring up a docker container without networking. From docker docs, using the --network none when running a docker container leaves out container interface creation for that docker instance. Although docker skips network interface creation it brings up the container with Continue reading
