Docker Labs Repo Continues to Grow
Back in May, we launched the Docker Labs repo in an effort to provide the community with a central place to both learn from and contribute to Docker tutorials. We now have 16 separate labs and tutorials, with 16 different contributors, both from Docker and from the community. And it all started with a birthday party.
Back in March, Docker celebrated it’s third birthday with more than 125 events around the world to teach new users how to use Docker. The tutorial was very popular, and we realized people would like this kind of content. So we migrated it to the labs repository as a beginner tutorial. Since then, we’ve added tutorials on using .NET and Windows containers, Docker for Java developers, our DockerCon labs and much more.
Today we wanted to call out a new series of tutorials on developer tools. We’re starting with three tutorials for Java Developers on in-container debugging strategies. Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows introduced improved volume management, which allows you to debug live in a container while using your favorite IDE.
We try our best to continuously update these tutorials and add new ones but definitely welcome external Continue reading

Stuff The Internet Says On Scalability For August 26th, 2016
Hey, it's HighScalability time:
- 33.0%: of all retail goods sold online in the US are sold on Amazon; 110.9 million: monthly Amazon unique visitors; 21 cents: cost of 30K batch derived page views on Lambda; 4th: grade level of Buzzfeed articles; $1 trillion: home value threatened by rising sea levels; $1.2B: Uber lost $1.2B on $2.1B in revenue in H1 2016; 1.58 trillion: miles Americans drove through June;
- Quotable Quotes:
- @bendystraw: My best technical skill isn't coding, it's a willingness to ask questions, in front of everyone, about what I don't understand
- @vmg: "ls is the IDE of producing lists of filenames"
- @nicklockwood: The hardest problem in computer science is fighting the urge to solve a different, more interesting problem than the one at hand.
- @RexRizzo: Wired: "Machine learning will TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" Amazon: "We see you bought a wallet. Would you like to buy ANOTHER WALLET?"

KiloCore Pushes On-Chip Scale Limits with Killer Core
We have profiled a number of processor updates and novel architectures this week in the wake of the Hot Chips conference this week, many of which have focused on clever FPGA implementations, specialized ASICs, or additions to well-known architectures, including Power and ARM.
Among the presentations that provided yet another way to loop around the Moore’s Law wall is a 1000-core processor “KiloCore” from UC Davis researchers, which they noted during Hot Chips (and the press repeated) was the first to wrap 1000 processors on a single die. Actually, Japanese startup, Exascaler, Inc. beat them to this with the PEZY-SC …

Micro-segmentation Benchmark – NSX Securing “Anywhere” Part VI
Welcome to part 6 of the Micro-segmentation Defined– NSX Securing “Anywhere” blog series. Previous topics covered in this series include
• Part I – Micro-segmentation Defined
• Part II – Securing Physical Environments
• Part III – Operationalizing Micro-segmentation
• Part IV – Service Insertion
• Part V – Context, Visibility, and Containment
Previous posts set the stage by introducing and defining the characteristics of micro-segmentation; showing how it has utility in the modern data center; how we might apply it to our existing software-defined and physical networks; how policy-driven NSX management may be used to deliver comprehensive security; and, that we can use physical and virtual third-party security appliances in conjunction with NSX to create a service chain and apply special processing to our vital network flows.
In this sixth part of the NSX Securing “Anywhere” blog, Chris Krueger of Coalfire Systems will preview some of our work in comprehensively benchmarking VMware NSX micro-segmentation. The Micro-segmentation Benchmark is a project being delivered by Coalfire Systems, Inc. an internationally recognized third party audit organization (3PAO) and leading provider of IT advisory services for security in retail, payments, healthcare, financial services, higher education, hospitality, government,and utilities. Coalfire has Continue reading
