Docker

[Praetorian]

Thanks svisstack, interesting read! The guy is absolutely right in saying that the docker team just releases new stuff that always has some new bugs and is just not backward compatible. I experienced it first hand and it really sucked. Nevertheless, the article seems a little bit too pessimistic. I use Ubuntu 16 LTS, perhaps it is better than other distributions in supporting docker. I don't know.

I won't claim to have done anything close to what that guy has done, with regard to docker in production at *significant* scale, but there's a few things that are just completely false. I think he's kinda flamebaiting a bit, which hurts the credibility of some of the very valid points.



Interesting comment thread here too:

FWIW I've been using it in a large number of totally different projects, and have only run into something similar to the AUFS issue he mentioned, in that it's a total pain in the ass to work with the NodeJS package manager.



Actually we did also run into a weird problem with CentOS-on-Docker-using-CUDA-in-Mesos combination, where we essentially couldn't use any "rm" commands inside the Dockerfile.



I guess it's like most tech, the deeper you go, the more likely you are to run into "weird" bugs.
