Companies like Microsoft, Dynatrace, and Vormetric are prime examples of partners that have int...
What is Docker Swarm and Docker Compose? Find out today by listening to Docker's Product Manager explain these new projects.
Docker is not the only Linux Container manager available. Recently, CoreOS launched their own project named Rocket which has some architecturally different approaches to managing containers. This week, we interview the brain behind Rocket to ask what is Rocket and why they built it.
Deis is a Platform as a Service that uses Docker and so it makes Docker application development very easy to use and very familiar if you know something like Heroku. It is very similar to a Heroku-like system. This week we brought Deis' founder back on the show to tell us about what's new including the latest changes to the public-facing APIs and future-proofing work they have finished.

What if your laptop asked you which core you would like to run Word in today? Sounds archaic, but that's the current state of the art with server infrastructure. You still have to pick with virtual machine you want to put your Rails app in. Florian Leibert's mission at Mesosphere is to create a smart infrastructure mesh that lets developers no longer have to think about which piece of code should run where. Hear how he plans to do this on this week's episode.
Cloud Foundry is one of the oldest and most mature open-source PaaS frameworks out there, and a lot has changed since last time you saw it. For example, Diego is a small Go scheduler that can use Docker independently of installing all of Cloud Foundry to get started. Listen to this week's episode to get a better sense of all that has changed since last time you checked out Cloud Foundry with head of product, James Watters.
Will it scale? This is the guiding question for Pantheon (https://www.getpantheon.com/) CTO David Strauss, whose all-for-one-and-one-for-all improvements to web infrastructure have made the largest content sites in the world more scalable and secure, while saving developers thousands of hours in manual updates. Pantheon is a platform service for Drupal and Wordpress. More business websites run on Drupal and WordPress than on any other technology in the world. Businesses need more than hosting to...
You probably own at least a few O’Reilly books. You know, the ones with the animals on the cover? O’Reilly Media is well known to put out the highest quality technical books on the market. Does Docker not only change DevOps, but could it change the way we fundamentally learn technology? What does the future of technical books look like? With the rise of eBooks, videos, interactive online learning, and guided courses, online education is changing rapidly and dramatically. And what does this mean ...
How do you do databases with Docker? Or for that matter, how do you do anything that stores persistent data in Docker? Sure you can attach a volume container to your application container, but that doesn’t scale and it makes your container dependent on your host, which is not ideal if you have a multi-server Docker cluster.
What is NPS and how do you use it to get critical feedback on whatever you are working on.
RedHat and specifically the OpenShift team was an early adopter of Docker technology. OpenShift Online 3 (the hosted service) and OpenShift Origin (the open-source part of OpenShift) of was recently released.

This week we talk to Colin about the future PaaS and the intersections of Clou...
Jeff Lindsay is one of the most prolific people in the Docker ecosystem.
