"The new Docker Registry 2.0 was released on April 16th, 2015. It was completely rewritten in Go with added support for the new Docker Registry HTTP API V2 (thus only working with Docker 1.6+), promising to provide faster and more secure distribution of images. If you work with Docker and for some reason decided not to use the public Docker Hub, a private Docker Registry is an essential part of your architecture. But even if you don't have private images, you will likely need to use your own registry in production/testing for efficiency. The default installation, however, runs without encryption and authentication. I was wondering what's involved in securing it. There is an official tutorial on how to configure TLS on a registry server. TLS/SSL is absolutely necessary for any secure setup, but I also wanted to enable an authentication mechanism. The Configuration Reference document describes two authentication options supported by Docker Registry itself: so-called silly and token solutions. The silly one is apparently only useful for very limited development use-cases. The token solution seems to be more serious, but because of the lack of documentation (at the time of writing), I decided to find an alternative approach to secure it. In this article I'm going to show you how to set up the Docker Registry 2.0 with username/password authentication and SSL using the official Docker Registry image and a custom configured nginx as a proxy server."

Listo... M$ subido al vagón de Docker... palo y a la bolsa. ¿Quién queda afuera? "Oct. 15, 2014 - Microsoft Corp. and Docker Inc., the company behind the fast-growing Docker open platform for distributed applications, on Wednesday announced a strategic partnership to provide Docker with support for new container technologies that will be delivered in a future release of Windows Server. Developers and organizations that want to create container applications using Docker will be able to use either Windows Server or Linux with the same growing Docker ecosystem of users, applications and tools."

"MaestroNG, an orchestrator of Docker-based deployments. The original Maestro was developed as a single-host orchestrator for Docker-based deployments. Given the state of Docker at the time of its writing, it was a great first step towards orchestration of deployments using Docker containers as the unit of application distribution. Docker having made significant advancements since then, deployments and environments spanning across several hosts are becoming more and more common and are in the need for some orchestration. Based off ideas from the original Maestro and taking inspiration from Docker's links feature, MaestroNG makes the deployment and control of complex, multi-host environments using Docker containers possible and easy to use. Maestro of course supports declared dependencies between services and makes sure to honor those during environment bring up. MaestroNG is, for now, a command-line utility that allows for automatically managing the orchestrated deployment and bring up of a set of service instance containers that compose an environment on a set of target host machines."

"In 2010 we led the seed round for Docker (formerly known as dotCloud) for one simple reason: devops means that the way applications are packaged, deployed, and run is fundamentally changing (though Docker's business model has evolved since its early days as a PaaS vendor, the fundamental premise is the same).  Rather than requiring custom configurations and painstaking management, Docker "containerizes" applications components such that every container is lightweight and behaves consistently.  Applications and their underlying components can be programmatically deployed, managed and moved on ever-changing cloud infrastructure without a hint of operating system or hardware configuration.  In a pre-Docker world, companies with tremendous and evolving application demands looked to virtualization as a way of abstracting their infrastructure, but paid a tax in dollars and performance for doing so. In the future we think of Docker will take the mantle as the VMware of the devops world, with containers as the ultimate devops platform."

"Clocker features: Automatically create and manage multiple Docker hosts in cloud infrastructure Intelligent container placement, providing: resilience fault tolerance easy scaling maximum resource utilisation of hosts maximum application performance Use of any public or private cloud as the underlying infrastructure for Docker Hosts Deployment of existing Brooklyn/CAMP blueprints to Docker locations, without modification."

"Cloudbreak is a RESTful Hadoop as a Service API. Once it is deployed in your favourite servlet container exposes a REST API allowing to span up Hadoop clusters of arbitrary sizes on your selected cloud provider. Provisioning Hadoop has never been easier. Cloudbreak is built on the foundation of cloud providers API (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Compute...), Apache Ambari, Docker containers, Serf and dnsmasq."

"But when Mark Russinovich, Microsoft's CTO for Azure, took the stage at Build 2015 in San Francisco Wednesday morning to demonstrate how containerized microservices applications work in Windows Server. [...] As is his wont, he dove right in to a demonstration of using Docker Build (on a PowerShell command line) to package and deploy an ASP.NET web site as a Docker container. [...] He took only a few seconds to package the web site into a container image, then he ran the package with the docker run command. [...] And then he paused, took the temperature of the room, and may have recognized that Windows developers may have been completely confused by what they were seeing. [...] So Russinovich asked for a show of hands of folks in the room who might have heard of something called Linux. (Don't worry, he's done this before.) [...] He then used a new build of Visual Studio, running in Windows, to publish the container to the Linux host. He then proceeded to debug the running Linux app, including setting a remote breakpoint, from Visual Studio. [...] Without saying so explicitly, Mark Russinovich was obsoleting much of Windows Server before developers' eyes."

"Docker Buenos Aires - microservices using relocatable docker containers"

"OpenStack and Docker will continue to dominate the open source cloud discussion. But Docker may prove to gain the most as it is also breeding a diverse ecosystem of open source projects. OpenStack is primarily contained (no pun intended) to the development of its own cloud operating system. It does integrate with OpenShift, for example, but for the most part the different groups within OpenStack do the lion's share of development. Docker's influence is such that it is affecting the overall open source community. The projects that are closely tied to Docker, such as Ansible, will continue to grow as developers seek tools to use with the fast growing container technology."

"In an indication of how rapidly the containerized technology ecosystem is metastasizing, SocketPlane.io - a startup venture founded just last October with the goal of building a controller-less software-defined network model for Docker environments - is being acquired by Docker, Inc., the two organizations jointly announced Wednesday morning. SocketPlane creates a networking abstraction for Docker containers at the socket layer. It connects containers without the need for a network controller, either physical or virtual. Put another way, it facilitates a software-defined network by letting the containers be the network."

"New Relic open sourced Centurion, a deployment tool for Docker used internally to run their production infrastructure. Centurion takes containers from a Docker registry and runs them on a fleet of hosts with the correct environment variables, host volume mappings, and port mappings, supporting rolling deployments out of the box."

"In this video, you'll get a quick overview of Docker and why it's beneficial. We'll also delve into some of the common questions about containers like what a container is, what's a Dockerfile, Docker images versus containers, how .NET developers can use containers, how deployments work, and how Microsoft is partnering with Docker.

"Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere. Docker containers can encapsulate any payload, and will run consistently on and between virtually any server. The same container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop will run at scale, in production, on VMs, bare-metal servers, OpenStack clusters, public instances, or combinations of the above."
