Containers are a convenient way of isolating applications from the operating system without having to support the overhead of one or more virtual machines.
A container is like a “slimmed down” version of a virtual machine, in that it contains only enough binaries to support the application(s) that you want to run.
Manuel showed us how to build and manage and publish your own container using buildah.
In our latest edition of ELUG virtual meetups, Manuel walked the participants through the developments of services in regards to server infrastructure. From the initial “one machine, one task” philosophy to the development and advantages of virtualization to containerization of applications and container orchestration through kubernetes.
A video of that session was recorded so if you want to take a look at look check that out here:
