• Understanding Buildpacks in Cloud Native Buildpacks
  1 project | dev.to | 22 Apr 2024

  A buildpack is a software, designed to transform application source code into executable (OCI) images that can run on a variety of cloud platforms. At its core, a buildpack is a directory that includes a specific file named buildpack.toml. This file contains metadata and configuration details that dictate how the buildpack should behave. Buildpacks in simple terms, is a set of standards defining how the different steps that are required to build a compliant container image can be automated. Using those standards, there are projects that have been built round enabling that using an CLI or an API. The most common way of doing that is through the Cloud Native Buildpacks' Pack project. Pack is a CLI command that can run in the same system the developers are using to actually go through creating a Dockerfile.

• Dive: A tool for exploring a Docker image, layer contents and more

  Eventually, once zstd support gets fully supported, and tiny gzip compression windows are not a limitation, then compressing a full layer would almost certainly have a better ratio over several smaller layers

• Pushing container images to GitHub Container Registry with GitHub Actions
  3 projects | dev.to | 1 Dec 2022

  GitHub Container Registry stores container images within your organization or personal account, and allows you to associate an image with a repository. It currently supports both the Docker Image Manifest V2, Schema 2 and Open Container Initiative (OCI) specifications.

• The cloud-agnostic-architecture illusion
  5 projects | dev.to | 19 Aug 2022

  We build all services as containerized workloads, i.e., OCI images - sometimes called Docker images. We deploy these to the Kubernetes product offered by the cloud vendor. Whenever we need some capability, containers are the answer. This insulates our applications from the vendor. In principle, we could switch providers as long as Kubernetes is available.

• Containerd... Do I use Docker to build the container image? I miss the Docker Shim
  5 projects | /r/kubernetes | 25 Jun 2022

  Build images with anything that makes OCI compliant images, push, and profit.

• Opensource Server Hosting/Management Web Panel

  it's funny that you mention this because it is actually the thing that is next on my agenda for the image, as you can probably see already I bake in OCI image annotations in our image, which is great for including some core pieces of meta data. In addition to this though I will soon be including custom labels for Base64 encoded YAMLs for Kubernetes deployments using this image. I will look at including helm configuration as well. Then it should be just as easy as: $ docker pull registry.gitlab.com/crafty-controller/crafty-4:latest $ docker image inspect registry.gitlab.com/crafty-controller/crafty-4:latest | jq -r ".[].Config.Labels.\"org.arcadiatech.crafty.k8s.deployment\"" | base64 -d | kubectl apply -f -

• My director is mad that I accepted another internal position for a 26% raise when he was told he could only give me a 10%

  They still don't do anything really of substance, they're just gateways to their vendor's world - booking systems, payment systems, etc. You learn those as you go along. Yes, as a potential employee, you need to be able to tick those boxes on your CV, but if you understand the underlying technology, it's mostly a matter of booking your own AWS or Azure server for $5-10 a month for a few weeks, and fooling around. (Docker is a bit different in the sense that they were the first to popularize today's de-facto container image standard, the "Docker container", which has since been accepted as a proper standard and renamed to "OCI image format"; but at the end of the day, at this point in time, Docker in itself is still just a company out for the money, and the multi-GB installation of their product can, for the essential functionality part, be replaced by a few hundred lines of Bash code. The cool boys today don't use Docker, they use [Podman(https://podman.io/), which is essentially a much more lightweight drop-in replacement ;-) )
