As the major Linux distributors increasingly lean toward containers, many administrators have come to realize that containers are by no means a panacea for all their problems.
You can have your cake and eat it, too: MicroVMs feature the strong isolation of virtual machines and lightweight behaviors of containers.
We look at the benefits of Kubernetes outside of large corporate environments.
When Kubernetes needs to scale applications, it searches for free nodes that meet a container's CPU and main memory requirements; however, when the existing hardware is at full capacity, the Kubernetes Cluster Federation project (KubeFed) takes the pain out of adding clusters.
Kaboxer packages applications that are otherwise missing from distribution package sources.
Systemd comes with two functions for container management that allow many programs to run more securely through isolation.
Deploy a full Linux container environment, including a Kubernetes cluster, on Windows with Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2.
Develop container applications on a Windows or Mac system with Docker Desktop or Podman.
Modern scale-out environments with containers make log collection difficult. We present concepts and methods for collecting application logfiles with a sidecar container in Kubernetes environments.
Some application developers try to handle containerized applications as if they were conventional monoliths, but managing updates and security patches in containers needs a totally different approach.
