Infrastructure at your Service
Few months ago I attended to the Franck Pachot session about Microservices and databases at SOUG Romandie in Lausanne on 2019 May 21th. He covered some performance challenges that can be introduced by Microservices architecture design and especially when database components come into the game with chatty applications. One year ago, I was in a situation where a customer installed some SQL Server Linux 2017 containers in a Docker infrastructure with user applications located outside…
Before we begin: This is in no way production ready, as the title states. In a production setup you would put the internal registry on a persistent storage, you would probably have more than one master node and you would probably have more than on compute node. Security is not covered at all here. This post is intended to quickly bring up something you can play with, that’s it. In future posts will explore more…
Docker EE 2.1 is a Containers-as-a-Service (CaaS) platform on-premise or in the cloud. To manage your cluster of containers, Docker EE allows you to install UCP (Universal Control Panel). When you plan to install the UCP 3.1.2 in Azure, the installation fails during the deployment of the UCP service. You will get the following error message. [[email protected] ~]$ docker logs ucp-reconcile If you google the error message you will get a lot of answers…
In short, a very interesting event for both Devs and Ops. Every day was organized around workshops, hands-on-labs sessions and Hallway tracks. My colleague Mehdi Bada and I tried to attend as much sessions as possible but obviously it was difficult to cover all the topics. Anyway, workshops and hands-on-labs were very interesting especially if you like to mix theory and practice. But I had to admit sometimes we got in trouble to keep up…
Wednesday was the last day of the DockerCon18 Europe. Like the previous day, we started the journey by a keynote of 2 hours, more oriented “Docker Community”, the core message of the keynote, the community is one of the pillars of open source technologies and Docker Inc want to push more and more the community aspect. The community is growing very fast and competitive. They take the opportunity to award the community leader of the year and a…

The main message of the first part of the keynote was: “How Docker can help you to make the digital transformation of your business”….
As a football fan, traveling to Barcelona without watching a football game is inconceivable, so I started my travel by attending the game against Villareal in Camp Nou 😎 DockerCon Day 1 Today, with David Barbarin, was our first day at DockerCon2018 in Barcelona. The conference is located in a huge conference center and split between types of sessions including workshops, keynotes, hands-on labs, and hallway track. The first day was only focused on workshops, hands-on labs and hallway…
We hear about Docker every day. By working on MySQL Server, I am curious to test this platform which makes it possible to create containers independent of the OS to deploy virtualized applications. So let’s try to deploy a MySQL Server with Docker!
I was interested to run Docker on my Windows machine and found out the Docker Toolbox for Windows that configure itself with the already installed VirtualBox at installation time. Once installed, You can start the Docker QuickStart shell preconfigured for a Docker command-line environment. At startup time it will start a VM named default and will be ready to work with Docker. Starting “default”… (default) Check network to re-create if needed… (default) Waiting for an IP……
Currently we begin to see customer adopting containerization for SQL Server databases (mainly driven by CI/CD and DevOps trends). A lot of them are using RedHat OpenShift as container management platform. From my side, I didn’t want to setup a complete OpenShift infrastructure on my lab to test only my SQL Server pod deployment on such infrastructure. I rather installed MiniShift that comes with one OpenShift node cluster which perfectly meets my requirements. …
