Docker tutorial: Get started with Docker Hub The power of Docker images is that they’re lightweight and portable—they can be moved freely between systems. You can easily create a set of standard images, store them in a repository on your network, and share them throughout your organization. Or you could turn to Docker Inc., which […]
9 Splunk alternatives for log analysis Quick! Name a log analysis service. If the first word that popped out of your mouth was “Splunk,” you’re far from alone. But Splunk’s success has spurred many others to up their log-analysis game, whether open source or commercial. Here is a slew of contenders that have a lot […]
Docker unveils cross-cloud management, container templates Docker announced today new features for Docker Enterprise Edition and Docker Desktop to port and manage apps on Kubernetes-based clouds, and to build containers via template-based workflows. Both features are scheduled to appear in Docker editions released in the second half of the year. Federated application management, as the first […]
What is TensorFlow? The machine learning library explained Machine learning is a complex discipline. But implementing machine learning models is far less daunting and difficult than it used to be, thanks to machine learning frameworks—such as Google’s TensorFlow—that ease the process of acquiring data, training models, serving predictions, and refining future results. Created by the […]
Docker tutorial: Get started with Docker networking A common use case for Docker is networked services, and Docker has its own networking model to let containers speak to both each other and the outside world. Originally, Docker containers had to be networked together by hand, or exposed manually to the outside world. The current networking […]
Docker tutorial: Get started with Docker volumes Docker containers are meant to be immutable. The code and data they hold never change. Immutability is useful when you want to be sure that the code running in production is the same that passed QA testing; it’s not so useful when you need someplace to write data […]
Docker tutorial: Get started with Docker Containers provide a lightweight way to take application workloads portable, like a virtual machine but without the overhead and bulk typically associated with VMs. With containers, apps and services can be packaged up and moved freely between physical, virtual, or cloud environments. Docker, a container creation and management system […]
Julia vs. Python: Julia language rises for data science Of the many use cases Python covers, data analytics has become perhaps the biggest and most significant. The Python ecosystem is loaded with libraries, tools, and applications that make the work of scientific computing and data analysis fast and convenient. But for the developers behind the […]
What’s new in Kubernetes containers The latest version of the open source container orchestration framework Kubernetes, Kubernetes 1.9, brings to the container-orchestration framework both full-blown and beta-test versions of significant new features: The general availability of the Workloads API.
