This is a live blog of session DATS004, titled “Bare-Metal, Docker Containers, and Virtualization: The Growing Choices for Cloud Applications.” Weaver includes a discussion of the drivers behind virtualization as well as the pros and cons of virtualization. That, naturally, leads to a discussion of containers.

As a side note, I am curious to know what other CPU architectures, if any, are affected. Will something like this spark a (larger) migration to ARM-based architectures? In the end, he comes up with using a general purpose programming language (via CDK in his article) to write higher-level constructs. Here we go again.

The argument is that today with the expansion of n-tier distributed systems and massively parallel architectures, east-west traffic has increased exponentially. Microsegmentation brings three important things to the table: 1) support for network virtualization; 2) support for software defined networking; and 3) automation.

Alex Gurbych discusses a microservices architecture, including adapting the concepts to actual services and offerings from AWS. Virtualization. Via TecMint, James Kiarie explains how to use VirtualBox VMs on KVM in Linux. Ricardo Ferreira explores using an Elgato Stream Deck with Fedora. That’s all for this time around!

Docker leverages LXC (Linux Containers), which encompasses Linux features like cgroups and namespaces for strong process isolation and resource control. While Docker currently leverages LXC, the Docker architecture isn’t necessarily limited to LXC. LTS as the Linux platform. linux-headers-generic-lts-raring.

Art Fewell takes a deeper look at the increasingly important role of the virtual switch. Even so, this Q&A session with Martin Casado on managing physical and virtual worlds in parallel might be worth going through the hassle. More information on the use of the immutable server construct is also available here. Networking.
