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

Background This blog series is focused on programmers, systems administrators, and application administrators that want to run Docker in production. The subject matter ranges from workflow and practical guidelines to security and best practices in manageability. A Practical Introduction to Docker Containers A Practical Introduction to the Docker Registry Server Core Builds in the
Background As has been stated before, Docker containers do not contain all of the parts of the operating system necessary to be considered secure. That said, the advantages of using them is so compelling that many companies, large and small, have began to investigate how to run containers in a production environment. I would argue

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.
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
Background Red Hat Software Collections 1.2 was recently released and with it, comes a different message to developers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS. Unless you need 10 years of support for your application stack (MySQL, PHP, Ruby, Rails), use Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL). RHSCL provides developers with the latest version of tools

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.
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
