That with posted solutions might be good.
I'd prefer a non-screencast though, so it would be easier to go at your own pace, and jump back and review things easily. Maybe it's content WITH a screencast, but I'm finding the whole trend of tech-videos to be waaaay too time consuming compared to good reference material (things that are searchable and skimmable). Different people may have different levels of time to get immersed in it though.
All being said, I loved the docker "simulator" CLI. This is a good thing.
Aside: I don't really love the docker CLI in general, because of the whole SHA editing-existing-VM type of use cases, but there are good parts. In prod, you can skip most of that as you're building from Docker files and it gets a lot simpler, but it almost seems to try to tell you you build images interactively, and Docker files are a better way that skips those parts. It really feels better to me in a workflow where it's used as an image build system.
But using the CLI in the way that generates new SHAs and uploads is weird, and (maybe this has changed) being able to accidentally upload your image to the public so easily is sketchy :) That's probably changed since I've looked at it. Another reason for more docs on workflow and showing how to put it all together into a production env.
So maybe don't be proscriptive, but show people who are deploying from scratch, and maybe those that have never even used AWS, how to do that, and what the (I shudder to say the word) "best practice" workflow for using Dockerfiles and Dockerhub might be, with all of these components used in concert.

I think you nailed it. ps. Haha, I actually just did a screencast series on Ansbile! Didn't know you were on HN. Thank you -- it's been really fun to work with ;) The Ansible docs are some of the best I have ever seen, and I commented on that heavily, makes it a real joy to have clear examples.
- rylee 12y agoWhat's so wrong with the "best practices" phrase? It's simply a general phrase to describe the way that most of the community is doing things in a way that fully realizes the potential of a given product.

- kibibu 12y ago> proscriptive OT: Proscriptive is a word and will pass spell check but it means the opposite of what you want. Prescriptive is the one you want. (Same with prescribe, proscribe)
