What Docker does is make them easier, pull them all into the same package, bring the ecosystem of tools around a single technology, and most of all: traction!
- vezzy-fnord 11y ago> Nothing that Docker does is completely new, and people were doing all these things before Docker. You're contradicting yourself, because in the same article you wrote: Into that world drops Docker: a new way of doing almost everything. It throws away old rules about operating systems, and deployment, and ops, and packaging, and firewalls, and PaaSes, and everything else. Then all the hype about the "future".
- pbiggar 11y agoIt's the same stuff, but it does it differently. So for example, instead of using AMIs to prebake images, it uses a weird AUFS layer. And it deploys using Dockerhub or by pushing images directly to hosts. And instead of using Mesos it has Swarm. And Kubernetes: that really is quite different to what we're doing, but not that different, conceptually, from what Heroku is.
- fweespeech 11y agoYeah, I took your post as vezzy-fnord did. But honestly, you have a very AWS-centric perception and the traction you talk about is really "Silicon Valley" specific. As long as you understand you are looking at a very, very narrow slice of the world when you use terms like that, sure, I can agree to that. For personal stuff, I use docker because its easy w/o all the tools I have at work. But that isn't the same thing as "unique and new".
