  • appfleet joins Cloudflare

    appfleet is a Poland based company that develops and offers edge hosting of containerised apps. Edge computing is a trend that emerged a few years back and allows to bring applications closer to the end user, therefore reducing latency and improving user experience. Cloudflare, a player strong in this space, now acquired appfleet, augmenting it’s portfolio of workers with container capabilities. No details of the deal have been made public, however, we will see more of these type of acquisitions with the market starting to consolidate.

    Summary: Due to a great synergy between our products, I am happy to announce that Cloudflare and appfleet are joining forces! The appfleet platform is shutting down, with all clusters going offline on October 31st 2021. Long story: When we started working on appfleet our goal was to build an

  • Get started with Kubernetes (using Python)

    Jason Haley wrote a brief tutorial to get the Pythonista started with Kubernetes. Worth reading if you are new to the topic.

    Enable Kubernetes in Docker Desktop

    So, you know you want to run your application in Kubernetes but don’t know where to start. Or maybe you’re getting started but still don’t know what you don’t know. In this blog you’ll walk through how to containerize an application and get it running in Kubernetes.This walk-through assumes you are a developer or at least comfortable with the command line (preferably bash shell).

  • #GoogleCloudSummit 2017 in Munich

    While Amazon Web Services reported another record quarter with $4,53B in October 2017, and Microsoft reporting 93% growth of their cloud business, Google is the third major player in the market for cloud services.

    At the same time, Google is not (yet) explicitly reporting numbers on their cloud offering. However, “all other” businesses, including Play Store,  also showed impressive 42% growth recently.

    To demonstrate how serious the company is about their cloud products, Google demonstrated their commitment in roadshows, the Google Cloud Summit. Among others, like in Paris or Singapore, the Summit was held in Munich On December 6th in the MOC Munich.

    Following a keynote between 9am an 11am, Google prepared 4 tracks covering diverse, cloud oriented topics in the areas of Application Development, Big Data & Machine Learning, Infrastructure & Operations, Startup. These tracks had continuous talks between 11am and 6pm, touching all topics from the field you could think of, starting with containers, docker and Kubernetes, going over IoT and Industry 4.0, touching Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, to Data Loss Protection and GDPR. All that along with Innovation and Agility in the context of security and privacy.

    To round up the event,  outside the track rooms had an exhibition of selected cloud partners, from consultancy to implementation service, but also SaaS offerings leveraging the Google Cloud Platform.

    While the market news seem that Google is late to the game, their commitment and quality of offering surely put them in an interesting spot and an alternative to the other two cloud vendors. The cloud summit definitely answered questions on Googles capabilities.

  • ssl and https with letsencrypt!

    nomorecubes.net now (finally) leverages https!

    It has a certificate from letsencrypt, automatically verified by the service, maintained and deployed by docker-letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion.

    The deployment has been considerably easy through docker-compose, adding the container to the existing nginx-proxy like this:

    version: '2'

services:nginx-proxy:
 image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
 container_name: nginx-proxy
 ports:
 - "80:80"
 - "443:443"
 volumes:
 - "./certs:/etc/nginx/certs:ro"
 - "/etc/nginx/vhost.d"
 - "/etc/nginx/conf.d"
 - "/usr/share/nginx/html"
 - "/var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro"
 letsencrypt:
 image: jrcs/letsencrypt-nginx-proxy-companion
 volumes:
 - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro"
 - "./certs:/etc/nginx/certs:rw"
 volumes_from:
 - nginx-proxy

  • Docker 1.10

    Docker announced version 1.10 past week. The new release contains more than 100 improvements over the previous version. New features include better resource management, a more flexible docker-compose file format and improvements to security.
