  • Continuous Delivery with Kubernetes the Hard Way

    Automating continuous delivery with Kubernetes requires a Single-Source-Of-Truth, and that rollbacks can be implemented efficiently without requiring new code changes to be pushed.

  • Elevating Builds into a Container

    Automated builds and delivery pipelines are a wonderful thing once they’re operational. But provisioning build agents can be quite painful. It can be greatly simplified by running tools in containers.

  • The Container Landscape: Docker Alternatives, Orchestration, and Implications for Microservices

    The orchestration of containers is key for success, and various technologies are competing for market share. This article examines the current tooling and how this relates to deploying microservices. A key takeaway is that developers should create business logic of their microservices using a vendor -and platform- agnostic approach.

  • Controlling Hybrid Cloud Complexity with Containers: CoreOS, rkt, and Image Standards

    Public IaaS or PaaS offerings may not satisfy the regulatory, security, or performance demands of every workload. This article explores how CoreOS have studied the emerging state-of-the-art application design and deployment patterns, and created and integrated a number of open source projects in pursuit of a modular platform that satisfies the needs of modern container cluster infrastructure.

  • Build Your Own Container Using Less than 100 Lines of Go

    Shipping containers and software containers share a lot in common, but the analogy has limits. This article explores this relationship further by demonstrating how it is possible to build a simple container using less than 100 lines of Golang code. Topics covered include namespaces, cgroups and layered filesystems.

  • Article Series: Containers in the Real World - Stepping Off the Hype Curve

    This article series explains how containers are actually being used within the enterprise. It dives into the core technology behind containers and how this is currently being used by developers, examines core challenges with deploying containers in the enterprise and the future of containerisation, and discusses the role unikernels are currently playing within leading-edge organisations.

  • Docker Containers LiveLessons Review and Q&A

    Addison-Wesley Professional’s Docker Containers LiveLessons aim to show what Docker containers are and how they can be effectively used. The 2.5+ hours video course is aimed to practitioners with no previous experience and will lead them through a journey going from installing the software to more complex topics such as orchestration. InfoQ has spoken with course instructor Chris Negus.

  • Automate Deployment & Management of Docker Cloud/Virtual Java Microservices with DCHQ

    This article demonstrates a solution for automating the build, deployment and management of a Docker Java microservices application on any cloud or virtualization platform. We extend an existing money transfer application consisting of event sourcing, CQRS and Docker, to run and manage this app on 13 different clouds and virtualization platforms.

  • Scaling Docker with Kubernetes V1

    Find out what's new in Kubernetes V1 with a Jenkins example in Google Container Engine (and locally with Vagrant). Kubernetes V1 brings enterprise-level capabilities such as self healing, service discovery, dynamic DNS, resource quotas, centralized logging, network isolation, resource quotas. In short, Kubernetes V1 makes management of Docker fleets easier.

  • Flocker Tutorial: Migrating a Stateful Dockerized ElasticSearch-Logstash-Kibana Stack

    Microservice architectures and container-based virtualization have taken the software development community by storm, but the issue of managing state within this technology is yet to be fully solved. This article provides a 'hands on' tutorial demonstrating how to achieve the benefits of containers for your stateful services like databases, using Flocker, an open source project from ClusterHQ.

  • Key Takeaway Points and Lessons Learned from QCon London 2015

    This article summarizes the key takeaways and highlights from QCon London 2015 as blogged and tweeted by QCon's 1,200 attendees. Over the course of the next 4 months, InfoQ will be publishing most of the conference sessions online, including more then 25 video interviews that were recorded by the InfoQ editorial team.

  • Virtual Roundtable: The Role of Containers in Modern Applications

    JP Morgenthal recently published a controversial DevOps.com article entitled “Containers Are Designed for an Antiquated Application Architecture.” After observing a lively debate on Twitter, InfoQ reached out to some of the most influential (and opinionated!) tech leaders in the industry – including Morgenthal himself – and asked them to participate in a virtual roundtable.
