Well, this was certainly an exciting week. Let's directly jump into it:
- There was a nice discussion around data in containers over on reddit.
- I stumbled upon the REST Security Cheat Sheet by OWASP with lots of useful resources in it.
- Google announced new cloud libs for BigQuery, Google Cloud Datastore, Stackdriver Logging, and Google Cloud Storage for C#, Go, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby.
- Wanna play around with Docker without installing anything? You might want to try play-with-docker.com then.
- All talks of the wonderful Systems We Love event are now available up on YouTube … that's almost 9h of broadcast time (but in all fairness including the breaks ;) … check out this index/ToC if you're in a hurry.
- A quick reminder: Unix's rule of silence.
- Very cool! Netflix Conductor: A microservices orchestrator. Provides a DSL for blueprints defining the execution flow, supporting both HTTP and gRPC.
- TNS ran a pretty useful piece on The Classes of Container Monitoring by the always informative and knowledgable Brian Brazil.
- CoreOS had their Tectonic Summit and announced a number of cool things. Of course, Docker Inc. thought it's the right time to do a bit of marketing around containerd which is now available standalone with the hope that potential fragmentation can be avoided and Docker stays in control. The future will tell.
- The Hootsuite eng folks shared interesting insights around Migrating Container Orchestrators – Mesos, Kubernetes, or Nomad?
- Dharmesh Kakadia of Microsoft Research was guest at a Software Engineering Daily podcast, talking about Mesos, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure of the Future.
- Want to know how to get 30x Faster Elasticsearch Queries?
- Looking at the $$$ side of things is Going Serverless: 5X Faster, 100X Cheaper.
- Docker Swarm at AWS/Azure vs. Amazon EC2 Container Service vs. Microsoft Azure Container Service (Swarm) is a nice comparison with a sharp focus but nonetheless useful data.
- And another serverless, erm, FaaS contrib: Securing a Serverless Application.
- Tooling for this week:
- lukasmartinelli/pipecat—allows you to connect UNIX pipes and message queues.
- cloudson/gitql—query your git history in a SQLish way.
- b3log/wide—a Web-based IDE for teams using Go.
- kubenow/KubeNow—deploy/scale/tear down Kubernetes clusters on AWS, GCE and OpenStack.
Have fun digesting these resources, let me know if you have something for me to review and hope to see you next week, again!
