Github is a wonderful magic land until you want to run a project that is written in some language that you just have no idea about. In my case, this would be something like C++. I’ve never worked with C++ nor would I have any idea how to get started. This is where Docker comes in. […]
With Docker 1.12 in full swing now I thought it may be helpful to go through setting up Docker Swarm in a 1 manager and 1 worker environment. You can read more about the features included in 1.12 over here. So what is Docker Swarm and why should you care? Well, Docker Swarm is native […]
The first thing that popped into my mind when writing this post’s topic is that it sounds like a band fresh out of the 80’s. Redis and the Elastic stack. This week’s mission was to get more of an understanding of how the Elastic Stack (formally known as ELK stack) functions. A part of that was coupling it […]
In this clip we go through the process of getting a Windows Server Container up and running with a Django web application running. We also go through some of the basic concepts and commands of the Docker CLI for Windows Server.
I am excited to announce that I will be speaking at the PowerShell Conference Asia in Singapore on October 20-22. My talks will be on Windows Server Containers and Nano Server. Looking forward to another awesome community event!
One of the things I love about PowerShell is that it can be used as somewhat ‘sudo code’ to just write things that come to mind. Afterwards, if it turns out you are onto something great you can always come back with the C# hat on and make things more official. On that note, I had great feedback […]
When it comes to Containers we are aiming to detach our self from any of unnecessary bells and whistles that come with modern Server based operating systems. With Nano Server we only use what we need. We don’t have a need for anything besides the essentials that allow us to offer our Application/Content to the world. […]
Firstly a shout out to Scott McCormick (blog) for the underlying concept of installing SQL Server in a Windows Server Container. Although his blog post was a great guide a bit has changed in the SQL versions since the post was made and I wanted to make a bit more of a detailed post. I […]
The term “Farm” in I.T has become a bit more real with the introduction of Windows Containers. Basically Microsoft are wanting us to start treating our Servers like cattle rather than caring for them day and night for their every need. Its a simple concept really, Server sick or dying? Cool, kill it and you’ll […]
