Meeting the CIS Docker Benchmark with RHEL7 and RHEL Atomic
Background As part of my blog series on Running Docker in Production, I have been writing about Docker security. Coincidentally, the CIS Docker 1.6 Benchmark v1.0.0 was released at the end of May and I thought it would be fun to tackle this new security benchmark. The CIS Docker Benchmark is meant to be a

Hadoop Performance Tuning
This presentation is a 16 slide introduction to what must be thought about when building a production cloud. Proper image management is critical engineering task.
Core Builds in the Age of Service
Background As legacy applications are redesigned for the cloud, they are converted to run in a stateless manner. In newly designed applications, data flows between application code, messaging infrastructure, caches and databases seamlessly even during individual node failures of any one subsystem. When an active node fails, a new one is instantiated and placed back

A Practical Introduction to the Docker Registry Server
Background One of the key advantages of using Docker is it’s centralized image management server, called a Registry Server. The Docker project, as well as Red Hat, maintain public registry servers which host supported images. The Docker project also provides an Open Source version of the Registry server which can be deployed on premise in
