The latest News and Information on Containers, Kubernetes, Docker and related technologies.
We are very excited to announce Calico v3.6. Here are some highlights from the release.
In the new cloud-native world, ephemeral services like containers make security a challenging task. As enterprises start adopting containers in production, they suffer from a great deal of variance in the software, configuration, and other static artifacts that exist across their organization’s container image set.
Container adoption in IT industry is on a dramatic growth. The surge in container adoption is the driving force behind the eagerness to get on board with the most popular orchestration platform around, organizations are jumping on the Kubernetes bandwagon to orchestrate and gauge their container workloads.
Servers are expensive. And in single-application installations, most servers spend the majority of their time waiting. Making the most of these expensive assets led to virtualization, and making the most of virtualization has led to multiple options for virtualizing applications. VMware and Docker offer competing methods for virtualizing applications. Both technologies work to make the most of limited hardware resources, but they do so in significantly different ways.
Containers are fast becoming the defacto standard as a building block for creating and deploying applications. Containerization allows development teams to have consistent environments, cost optimizations, isolation, and versatility, in general. The open-source Containerd project is a critical component for the modern cloud-native containerized landscape, providing a runtime that is widely used in millions of applications every day.
