Join Docker’s Community All-Hands

Openness and transparency are key pillars of a healthy open source community. We’re constantly exploring ways to better engage the Docker community, to better incorporate feedback and to better foster participation.

To this end, we’re very excited to host our first Community All-Hands on Thursday December 10th at 8am PST / 5pm CET. This one-hour event will be a unique opportunity for Docker staff and the broader Docker community to come together for company and product updates, live demos, community shout-outs and a Q&A. 

The All-Hands will include updates from:

Scott Johnston (CEO, Docker) who will go over Docker’s strategic vision and where the company is heading in 2021 and beyondDonnie Berkholz (VP of Products, Docker) who will walk us through our product roadmap  Jean-Laurent de Morlhon (VP of Engineering, Docker) who will provide an inside peek on engineering.

We’ll then dive into specific product updates around Docker Desktop, Hub and Developer Tooling, followed by two awesome live demos where we’ll show cool new features and integrations. 

A Community All-Hands is not complete without a community update. We will announce new community initiatives and recognize outstanding contributors who have gone above and beyond to help push Docker forward.

Do you have a question for Docker? Ask away!

We know many in the community have lots of questions but don’t always know where to ask them. Worry not, now’s your opportunity to submit any question you have and up-vote your favorite ones from the community. You can submit your questions anonymously (if you prefer) and we’ll make a selection of the most up-voted ones to be answered during the live Q&A. 

We’re really excited about this All-Hands and we hope to bring together as many people from the community from as many parts of the world as possible. Of course, finding the perfect time for this is impossible and a large chunk of the community won’t be able to dial-in so we’ll make sure to share the recording shortly after the event. As mentioned, this is experimental territory for us and we’ll be trying out different formats and time zones for future All-Hands, incorporating feedback from the community along the way.

See you next week!

How computing has evolved, and why you need a multi-cloud strategy

Information technology has been moving fast for several years, bringing more powerful and agile computation in the cloud, richer software, better analytics, mobility, and sensors. If only most enterprise technology vendors were keeping up. The incumbents were schooled in the old world of proprietary systems, higher switching costs, and vendor lock-in, and it shows in how they see the world.There is no better example of this than in the trend to hybrid- and multi-cloud computing. In both cases, cloud-era technologies provide customers the ability to better use existing assets and take advantage of newer ways to compute, store, and analyze data. This is not theory, but reality. According to Gartner, 81% of organizations are working with two or more public cloud providers. A multi-cloud strategy gives companies the freedom to use the best possible cloud for each workload. In contrast, single-cloud stacks impose a significant cost. Where there could be greater power drawn from the unique capabilities of every cloud, there is higher complexity and the limitation of proprietary systems. Where there could be more insight, there is siloed data. Where there could be resilience of entirely different systems, there is concentrated risk. Where there could be more innovation and efficiency, there are impediments. Where there could be a single view of assets, there is a lack of control, haphazard security, and opaque costs.At Google Cloud, we’re committed to meeting the needs of customers by providing choice, flexibility and openness. This commitment is reflected in our contributions to projects like Kubernetes, TensorFlow, and many more.Google Cloud is the birthplace and home of the Kubernetes project. Created by the same engineers that built Kubernetes,Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) is an easy-to-use cloud-based Kubernetes service for running containerized applications—everywhere, not just on GCP. Anthos builds on the firm foundations of GKE, so you can build out hybrid and multi-cloud deployments with better cloud software production, release, and management—the way you want, not how a vendor dictates. That is key to how a healthy cloud ecosystem works. The flexibility to run applications where you need them without added complexity has been a key factor in choosing Anthos—many customers want to continue to use their existing investments both on-premises as well as in other clouds, and having a common management layer helps their teams deliver quality services with low overhead.Today, just two years after launch, Anthos now supports more kinds of workloads, in more kinds of environments, in many more locations. According to Forrester, Anthos brings a 40% to 55% improvement in platform operating efficiency. Taking multi-cloud even further, recently we announced Anthos on bare metal, so customers could have high performance computing with minimal latency in even remote locations. And the leading API management platform, Apigee, works on every cloud or on-premises, just as it should.Anthos is but one part of our commitment to maximize customer power, choice, and control wherever possible. In July we announced BigQuery Omni, a multi-cloud version of our popular analytics services. For the first time, an enterprise can seamlessly connect directly to their data across Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and (soon) Microsoft Azure, managing large-scale data analysis fast, without having to move or copy data sets, on a single user interface.Earlier this year Google Cloud announced the acquisition of Looker, a multi-cloud data analysis platform that supports multiple data sources and deployment methods. Naturally, Looker as part of Google Cloud still supports hosting on public clouds like AWS, and connects with data sources like Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery and more than 50 other supported SQL dialects, so you can link to multiple databases, avoid database lock-in, and maintain multi-cloud data environments.From open source to multi-cloud to what might be called “analytics anywhere,” our strategy is not based on our predetermined need, or some sense of “how it’s always been” in enterprise computing, but rather on Google’s experience and vision of how computing has evolved, and where it’s likely headed. Computing wants to be everywhere, you might say, with the right machine crunching the right data for the right purpose. Done right, that’s the future: Enabling businesses to innovate and compete wherever they want, using the data they own to best serve their customers with better products and services.We’re confident that history is on the side of open-source based multi-cloud APIs. Years ago, open source was condemned, and sometimes forked, to preserve a provider’s power over customers. Eventually it was allowed, and today it’s welcomed. Now it’s multi-cloud’s turn to move from rejection to acceptance and eventually, ubiquity. There’s a good chance that soon your cloud will do even more of what it should have done in the first place.

The Docker Developer Guide to AWS re:Invent

This is the busiest time of the year for developers targeting AWS. Just over a week ago we announced the GA of Docker Compose for AWS, and this week we’re getting ready to virtually attend AWS re:Invent. re:Invent is the annual gathering of the entire AWS community and ecosystem to learn what’s new, get the latest tips and tricks, and connect with peers from around the world. Instead of the traditional week-long gathering of 60,000 attendees in Las Vegas, the event has pivoted to a flexible three-week online conference. This year the event is free, and anyone can participate on their own schedule. This blog post covers highlights of the event so Docker developers can get the most from re:Invent.

In the kickoff keynote by CEO Andy Jassy, AWS announced a number of new features for container developers, including a new capability, ECS Anywhere, which allows Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to run on-prem and in the cloud to support hybrid computing workloads as well as the launch of AWS Proton, an end-to-end pipeline to deliver containerized and microservices applications. Separately, AWS also announced a new public Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and gallery today. We’re excited to see a cloud leader like AWS validate our approach to build, share, and run apps using container-based images, and it’s great for AWS-focused developers to have choices.

Developers want freedom of choice, and we’re proud that our container registry model is not only validated by AWS, but also by millions of organizations including industry leaders such as Canonical/Ubuntu, Apache, CNCF, and Google Istio. They all use Docker Hub to efficiently distribute images to the millions of Docker developers. The numbers are staggering–for projects such as Ubuntu/Canonical, the number of images served by Hub measures in the billions. For open source projects and Docker commercial partners, any pull requests made by developers can be initiated without rate limits for free and paid subscribers. Our “who’s who” of open source and commercial software publishers gives developers the choices they need to confidently innovate with velocity and underscores our commitment to the developer ecosystem. 

Over the next three weeks, re:Invent has a number of interesting sessions for Docker developers. Here are some of the sessions we’ll be attending:

Infrastructure Keynote

THURSDAY, DEC. 10, 8:00 AM – 9:20 AM (PST)

Live from Seattle, join Peter DeSantis, senior vice president of Global Infrastructure and Customer Support, to learn how AWS has optimized its cloud infrastructure to run some of the world’s most demanding workloads and give your business a competitive edge.

Based on his experience working with some of the largest and most successful applications in the world, Dr. Vogels shares his insights on building truly resilient architectures and what that means for the future of software development.

Containers at AWS: More options and power than ever before

WEDNESDAY, DEC 16, 1:15 PM – 1:45 PM (PST)

Are you confused by the many choices of container services that you can run on AWS? This session explores all your options and the advantages of each. Whether you are just beginning to learn Docker or are an expert with Kubernetes, join this session to learn how to pick the right services that would work best for you.

You can sign up for these sessions and peruse the entire schedule for re:Invent at their agenda page. 

And finally, in honor of re:Invent week, our Developer Advocate Peter McKee has created a list of the best Docker resources for AWS developers. You can check out the list (and register for his upcoming appearance on the AWS “Howdy Partner” webinar during re:Invent) at his blog post. Peter’s resources will help you learn some new skills and a couple of “I didn’t know you could do that” insights into AWS development with the Docker platform.

We’ll “see” you all at re:Invent over the next few weeks!
