Hi everyone!
I am trying a new format out - This Week (more like the last 2) in Docker! This post will feature some cool things that I've read about Docker or tried out recently that I think you'd like too!
Docker joins the AI game?
Imagine having an expert Docker assistant right where you work. Docker's new AI tool, Gordon, is here to help (not released yet, hold your horses), embedded directly within Docker Desktop and the CLI to make debugging, optimization, and even answering tricky questions much simpler.
Is that something you want, or would you prefer Docker to focus on the important parts (well, Docker, not AI Hype?)
Building Images: Gzip vs Zstd
You've gone through all tutorials to improve your docker build times but its still slow? The awesome people at depot.dev recently tried out and benchmarked a few different compression methods. Apparently the Default one is still single-threaded! Check it out: Building Images: Gzip vs Zstd
Docker Desktop is now malware
Last week was a rough one for Developers at Docker when they accidentally pushed a new Docker Desktop version with incorrectly signed files, which resulted in this beautiful malware warning:
This issue was solved relatively quickly (check out this Github Issue for how it was solved, but the memes were good nonetheless:
You can read more about it on AppleInsider and Docker.com
Sliplane launched on HackerNews!
Not really an article but last week we launched on Hackernews with a "ShowHN" post. This was the first time for me posting on Hackernews and I didn't expect anything! 62 comments, over 2000 unique visitors on our landing page, and countless roasts about us fucking up a cookie banner I can say it was a lot of fun! I can recommend that to everybody who is building something on their own, just be prepared to get roasted :)
Awesome Jobs
I know the job market can be rough right now for some, so here are some pretty cool jobs you might've not heard about yet:
Solutions Engineer at Docker
If you like talking to people and about tech, especially Docker, becoming a Solutions Engineer might be the right thing! Solution Engineers are like technical sales people, showing potential customers what they could achieve with Docker. Check out this Solutions Engineer job at Docker (I promise the people at Docker are really cool, you're going to enjoy it!)
Infra Engineer at Railway
Railway is doing some crazy cool things right now. If you want to join a rocketship that is still small and nimble (I think they are still <30 people at the time of writing), this is the right thing:
- Orchestration at 100m+ containers scale
- Efficient OCI build/transfer at TBps/sec scale (BuildKit, SOCI, Zot, overlayfs)
Sounds insanely cool! You can find the Senior Infra Engineer - Platform Job Posting here
What do you think of this new Format? Anything else I missed or what you'd like to see in the next one? Let me know in the comments :)
Cheers,
Jonas
