I love it. Also, coming from a background in CFEngine, I see a lot of familiar motifs. Low-level primitives, check. Audit and repair, check. Declarative description of desired state, check. Distributed, check. Good stuff. All workable approaches as proven since 1993 by CFEngine. I certainly wish Docker the best.
- shykes 10y agoThanks :) I am a cfengine fan myself, it inspired me to start working on what would eventually become Dotcloud then Docker. There was also Radmind and ISconf, which did not enjoy the same success. I still remember reading the "infrastructure thinking" paper [1] and being blowm away by the concept. Back then (around 2005) calling it infrastructure as opposed to just "servers" was radical and unusual. There was also a paper on "computer immunology" which I found really inspiring.
