Project mention: Building Scalable GraphQL Microservices With Node.js and Docker: A Comprehensive Guide | dev.to | 2024-04-10To learn more, you can start by exploring the official Kubernetes documentation.
Project mention: A list of SaaS, PaaS and IaaS offerings that have free tiers of interest to devops and infradev | dev.to | 2024-02-05netdata.cloud — Netdata is an open-source tool to collect real-time metrics. It's a growing product and can also be found on GitHub!
Having been featured in our February 2023, and January 2024 Release Radars, Moby is the original Linux Container runtime. This new version adds a bunch of changes to the Docker CLI and Moby itself with additional features. There's bug fixes and enhancements, with the main thing for users to be on the look out for containers that were created using Docker Engine 25.0.0. These containers might have duplicate MAC addresses, and thus must be recreated. The same goes for those containers created with Moby 25.0+ and with user defined MAC addresses. Read up on all these changes in the release notes.
With the containerized Node.js/Express API, I could run multiple containers, scaling to handle more traffic. Using a tool called minikube, we can easily spin up a local Kubernetes cluster to horizontally scale Docker containers. It was possible to keep one shared instance of the database, and many APIs were routed with an internal Kubernetes load balancer.
I run all my projects on Dokku. It’s a sweet spot for me between a barebones VPS with Docker Compose and something a lot more complicated like k8s. Dokku comes with a bunch of solid plugins for databases that handle backups and such. Zero downtime deploys, TLS cert management, reverse proxies, all out of the box. It’s simple enough to understand in a weekend and has been quietly maintained for many years. The only downside is it’s meant mostly for single server deployments, but I’ve never needed another server so far.

Project mention: Show HN: Add AI code interpreter to any LLM via SDK | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-12Hi, I'm the CEO of the company that built this SDK.
We're a company called E2B [0]. We're building and open-source [1] secure environments for running untrusted AI-generated code and AI agents. We call these environments sandboxes and they are built on top of micro VM called Firecracker [2].
You can think of us as giving small cloud computers to LLMs.
We recently created a dedicated SDK for building custom code interpreters in Python or JS/TS. We saw this need after a lot of our users have been adding code execution capabilities to their AI apps with our core SDK [3]. These use cases were often centered around AI data analysis so code interpreter-like behavior made sense
The way our code interpret SDK works is by spawning an E2B sandbox with Jupyter Server. We then communicate with this Jupyter server through Jupyter Kernel messaging protocol [4].
We don't do any wrapping around LLM, any prompting, or any agent-like framework. We leave all of that on users. We're really just a boring code execution layer that sats at the bottom that we're building specifically for the future software that will be building another software. We work with any LLM. Here's how we added code interpreter to Claude [5].
Our long-term plan is to build an automated AWS for AI apps and agents.
Happy to answer any questions and hear feedback!

The following two examples are open-source projects maintained by Fermyon with contributions from companies like Microsoft and SUSE. The first is Spin, which allows us to use WebAssembly to create Serverless applications. The second, SpinKube, combines some of the topics I'm most excited about these days: WebAssembly and Kubernetes Operators :) The official website says, "By running applications in the Wasm abstraction layer, SpinKube offers developers a more powerful, efficient, and scalable way to optimize application delivery on Kubernetes." By the way, this post shows how to integrate SpinKube with Dapr, another technology I'm very interested in, and I should write some posts soon.
Did something happen to the Apache 2 rancher? https://github.com/rancher/rancher/blob/v2.7.5/LICENSE RKE2 is similarly Apache 2: https://github.com/rancher/rke2/blob/v1.26.7%2Brke2r1/LICENS...
Project mention: Signing container images: Comparing Sigstore, Notary, and Docker Content Trust | dev.to | 2023-09-26Now that you know a little more about Cosign, Notary, and DCT, we will take it one step further by using one of these tools: Cosign. For this example, we will use the simple Docker registry:2 reference image to run a simple registry. In a real-world scenario, a managed registry such as Harbor, Amazon ECR, Docker Hub, etc.
Example of why: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/5102#issuecommen...

If you are following this blog series, you should already know the benefits of using Terraform to define and deploy your AWS resources and configuration. Other IaC solutions such as AWS CloudFormation, AWS CDK, and Pulumi work the same way but differs in the programming or configuration language.

And if you want to make the container quickly secure without bloats, maybe give this a try https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim
Project mention: Lcl.host: fast, easy HTTPS in your local dev environment | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-20If you don't need a GUI, the following combo works pretty well:
Project mention: Exploring 5 Docker Alternatives: Containerization Choices for 2024 | dev.to | 2024-03-18Containerd and nerdctl
Project mention: CVE-2023-1943: Privilege Escalation in kOps using GCE/GCP Provider in Gossip Mode Issue #15539 kubernetes/kops | /r/devopsish | 2023-06-22
This does remind me of ctop as well: https://github.com/bcicen/ctop
It also let's you look at containers, resource usage graphs, their logs and even do some actions through a TUI.
Isn't gVisor kind of this as well?
"gVisor is an application kernel for containers. It limits the host kernel surface accessible to the application while still giving the application access to all the features it expects. Unlike most kernels, gVisor does not assume or require a fixed set of physical resources; instead, it leverages existing host kernel functionality and runs as a normal process. In other words, gVisor implements Linux by way of Linux."
The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]
As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].
Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]
