"Google Container Registry provides secure, private Docker image storage on Google Cloud Platform. While Docker provides a central registry to store public images, you may not want your images to be accessible to the world. In this case, you must use a private registry. The Google Container Registry runs on Google Cloud Platform, so can be relied upon for consistent uptime and security. The registry can be accessed through an HTTPS endpoint, so you can pull images from any machine, whether it's a Google Compute Engine instance or your own hardware."

"ImageTerrier is an open-source, scalable, high-performance search engine platform for content-based image retrieval applications. The ImageTerrier platform provides a comprehensive test-bed for experimenting with image retrieval techniques. The platform incorporates a state-of-the-art implementation of the single-pass indexing technique for constructing inverted indexes and is capable of producing highly compressed index data structures. ImageTerrier is written as an extension to the open-source Terrier test-bed platform for textual information retrieval research."

"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."

"VirtualBoxImages.com is the worlds leading source for pre-installed virtualbox virtual computers. No other single source provides more virtual computer choices. This is the mother lode of VirtualBox virtualization software. VDI images of pre-installed "Open Source" Operating System distros. Pre-installed virtualbox images ready for you to explore and play with. VirtualBox runs on SunOS, OpenSolaris, Mac OS X, Windows, OS/2 and Linux. It's a computer inside your computer."

"The Puzzle library is designed to quickly find visually similar images (GIF, PNG, JPG), even if they have been resized, recompressed, recolored or slightly modified. The library is free, lightweight yet very fast, configurable, easy to use and it has been designed with security in mind."

"Windsurf is a general framework for efficiently processing content-based image queries. With particular emphasis to the region-based paradigm, Windsurf provides an environment where different alternatives of the paradigm can be implemented. This allows such implementations to be compared on a fair basis, from the points of view of both effectiveness and efficiency."

The [docker registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com/) is bursting at the seams. At the time of this writing, a search for "node" gets just under 1000 hits. How does one choose? ## What constitutes a good docker image? This is a subjective matter, but I have some criteria for a docker image that I consider good: * **working**.

"Welcome to the VirtualBox® Images project website. This project provides virtual machines for Sun XVM VirtualBox® sporting several free and/or open-source operating systems, such as GNU/Linux or Free/Net/OpenBSD for testing, security and/or entertainment purposes."

The Cloud Market is the most complete catalog of Amazon EC2 images.

"Terrier is a highly flexible, efficient, and effective open source search engine, readily deployable on large-scale collections of documents. Terrier implements state-of-the-art indexing and retrieval functionalities, and provides an ideal platform for the rapid development and evaluation of large-scale retrieval applications."

"pHash is an open source software library released under the GPLv3 license that implements several perceptual hashing algorithms, and provides a C-like API to use those functions in your own programs. pHash itself is written in C++."

"Docker images for the camunda BPM platform"

The Eventsourced library adds scalable actor state persistence and at-least-once message delivery guarantees to Akka. With Eventsourced, stateful actors: - Persist received messages by appending them to a log (journal) - Project received messages to derive current state - Usually hold current state in memory (memory image) - Recover current (or past) state by replaying received messages (during normal application start or after crashes) - Never persist current state directly (except optional state snapshots for recovery time optimization)

Highly efficient file backup system based on the git packfile format. Capable of doing *fast* incremental backups of virtual machine images.

"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."

"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. "

"Crane is a tool to orchestrate Docker containers. It works by reading in some configuration (JSON or YAML) which describes how to obtain images and how to run containers. This simplifies setting up a development environment a lot as you don't have to bring up every container manually, remembering all the arguments you need to pass. By storing the configuration next to the data and the app(s) in a repository, you can easily share the whole environment."

Magnum is an OpenStack API service developed by the OpenStack Containers Team making container orchestration engines such as Docker and Kubernetes available as first class resources in OpenStack. Magnum uses Heat to orchestrate an OS image which contains Docker and Kubernetes and runs that image in either virtual machines or bare metal in a cluster configuration.
