Docker for Mac now ships with Kubernetes built-in. Let's explore why this matters, a history of developer tooling for running Docker on Mac/Windows and my first impressions as I kick the tyres with the Kubernetes integration.
- Annatar 9y agoI read the article and I’m still no wiser than I was before I read it: why exactly does this matter when we have SmartOS?
- twblalock 9y agoBecause far, far, far more people use Macs than use SmartOS, and even people who run SmartOS in prod use Macs to write and test their software. You're not being serious, and you're not arguing in good faith. You aren't wiser from reading the article because you don't want to be. You'd rather crap on other peoples' achievements and push an agenda than approach this with an open mind. Looking at your profile and your comment history makes this abundantly clear.
- Annatar 9y agoSmartOS runs under any hypervisor, including ones on macOS. The argument that “far more people use Macs” is therefore completely beside the point. I myself use macOS too. The premise of the article is “let’s explore why this matters” but from pure capabilities standpoint, my question remains unanswered: why does it matter if there is SmartOS which doesn’t need any of this?
- cube2222 9y agoIf I understand correctly, you just want to run a container OS on a hypervisor. Why is docker for Windows/Mac better? It integrates better, handles directory sharing. Also, it doesn't seem like smartos supports kubernetes.
- Annatar 9y agoIt doesn’t suppport it because it works differently so it doesn’t need it. The complexity of needing Docker and Kubernetes falls away, although Docker is supported.
