Docker is a tool that can package an application and its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server. This helps enable flexibility and portability on where the application can run, whether on premises, public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, etc.

Dopo Amazon, Google  e Azure, anche Oracle è entrata nel mercato Cloud. Nell’ultimo periodo Oracle Cloud propone in modo aggressivo con lo slogan “Always Free” una serie di risorse che saranno sempre disponibili senza accrediti ulteriori. Ovviamente non è tutto oro quello che luccica ma…abbiamo fatto un paio di prove per saggiare questo servizio.

K8s is a very complex beast. But it give you a very good set of security defaults, and it is also a very well done implementation of a microservice application.
