Docker Birthday #4: Thank you Docker Community!

Pақмет сізге, tak, धन्यवाद, cảm ơn bạn, شكرا, mulțumesc, gracias, merci, danke, obrigado, ευχαριστώ, köszönöm, thank you #Docker community! From Des Moines to Santiago de Cuba, Budapest to Tel Aviv and Sydney to Cairo, it was so awesome to see the energy from the community coming together to celebrate and learn about Docker!

We originally planned for 50 Docker Birthday #4 celebrations worldwide with 2,500 attendees. But over 9,000 people registered to attend one of the 152 celebrations across 5 continents! A huge thank you to all the Docker meetup organizers who worked hard to make these celebrations happen and offered Docker beginners the  opportunity to participate in hands on Docker labs.
Join in on the fun!
In case you missed it last week, check out the pics from all of the #DockerBday celebrations including the awesome birthday cakes! Check out the Facebook photo album too! Up for a little more reading? Check out these blog posts from Docker Captains Jonas Rosland and Alex Ellis about their experience mentoring at their local event.
None of this would have been possible without the support (and expertise!) of the 500+ advanced Docker users who signed up as mentors to help attendees learn about Docker by working through the labs we have available.
Here are some of our favorite tweets from the meetups:

Webinar recap: Docker 101 for federal government

#Docker is driving a movement for IT teams across all industries to modernize their applications with container technology. Government agencies, like private sector companies face similar pressures to accelerate software development while reduce overall IT costs and adopting new technologies and practices like cloud, DevOps and more.
This webinar titled “Docker 101 for the Federal Government” features Andrew Weiss, Docker Federal Sales Engineer and breaks down the core concepts of Docker and how it applies to government IT environments and unique regulatory compliance requirements. The presentation highlights how Docker Enterprise Edition can help agencies build a secure cloud-first government.

Watch the on-demand webinar to learn how Docker is transforming the way government agencies deliver secure, reliable, and scalable services to organizations and citizens.

Here are the questions from the live session:
Q: Is Docker Datacenter available both hosted and as a cloud offering?
A: Docker Datacenter is now a part of Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) – providing integrated container management and security from development to production. Docker EE provides a unified software supply chain for all apps—commercial off the shelf, homegrown monoliths to modern microservices written for Windows or Linux environments on any server, VM or cloud. Docker EE can be deployed on-premises (bare metal or VMS) or on any cloud provider.
Q: Can you install regular Windows Server apps into Docker containers in Windows 2016?
A: YES. Docker running containers on Windows is the result of a two-year collaboration between Microsoft that involved the Windows kernel growing containerization primitives, Docker and Microsoft collaborating on porting the Docker Engine and CLI to Windows to take advantage of those new primitives and Docker adding multi-arch image support to Docker Hub.
Q: From an implementation perspective, do you recommend one container per virtual machine or multiple containers?
A: We see a mix. Depending on the use case you will get a range in density of containers per virtual or bare metal machine. In some science and research communities, we have seen a use case of a 1:1 container to machine  where developers are looking purely for portability of their existing workloads. However, typically containers are ephemeral, running on average for a few minutes so that number is always changing depending on how that service is scaled out or back.
Q: How do you phrase the argument that a Linux kernel is the same everywhere?
A: The kernel: This is the one piece of the whole that is actually called “Linux”. The kernel is the core of the system and manages the CPU, memory, and peripheral devices. The kernel is the “lowest” level of the OS.
Q: Is the AWS Quick Start of Docker EE available for Gov Cloud?
A: Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) Basic, Standard and Advanced are all available in the AWS Marketplace for easy deployment of a highly available Docker EE environment in about 20 minutes. Built in accordance with best practices from AWS and Docker, these templates include the latest Docker software in a variety of regions and directly integrated with AWS services.
Q: Will license pricing remain the same from DDC to Docker EE?
A: Docker Datacenter (DDC) is now part of Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) Standard tier. The subscription price has not changed. Customers who have previously purchased DDC are entitled to the latest version of Docker EE Standard. For more information, visit www.docker.com/pricing.

The K8sPort: Engaging Kubernetes Community One Activity at a Time

Editor’s note: Today’s post is by Ryan Quackenbush, Advocacy Programs Manager at Apprenda, showing a new community portal for #Kubernetes advocates: the K8sPort. The K8sPort is a hub designed to help you, the Kubernetes community, earn credit for the hard work you’re putting forth in making this one of the most successful open source projects ever. Back at KubeCon Seattle in November, I presented a lightning talk of a preview of K8sPort. This hub, and our intentions in helping to drive this initiative in the community, grew out of a desire to help cultivate an engaged community of Kubernetes advocates. This is done through gamification in a community hub full of different activities called “challenges,” which are activities meant to help direct members of the community to attend various events and meetings, share and provide feedback on important content, answer questions posed on sites like Stack Overflow, and more. By completing these challenges, you collect points and can redeem them for different types of rewards and experiences, examples of which include charitable donations, gift certificates, conference tickets and more. As advocates complete challenges and gain points, they’ll earn performance-related badges, move up in community tiers and participate in a fun community leaderboard. My presentation at KubeCon, simply put, was a call for early signups. Those who’ve been piloting the program have, for the most part, had positive things to say about their experiences.I know I'm the only one playing with @K8sPort but it may be the most important thing the Kubernetes community has.— Justin Garrison (@rothgar) November 22, 2016“Great way of improving the community and documentation. The gamification of Kubernetes gave me more insight into the stack as well.”     – Jonas Kint, Devops Engineer at Showpad“A great way to engage with the kubernetes project and also help the community. Fun stuff.”      – Kevin Duane, Systems Engineer at The Walt Disney Company“K8sPort seems like an awesome idea for incentivising giving back to the community in a way that will hopefully cause more valuable help from more people than might usually be helping.”     – William Stewart, Site Reliability Engineer at SuperbalistToday I am pleased to announce that the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is making the K8sPort generally available to the entire contributing community! We’ve simplified the signup process by allowing would-be advocates to authenticate and register through the use of their existing GitHub accounts.If you’re a contributing member of the Kubernetes community and you have an active GitHub account tied to the Kubernetes repository at GitHub, you can authenticate using your GitHub credentials and gain access to the K8sPort.Beyond the challenges that get posted regularly, community members will be recognized and compile points for things they’re already doing today. This will be accomplished through the K8sPort’s full integration with GitHub and the core Kubernetes repository. Once you authenticate, you’ll automatically begin earning points and recognition for various contributions — including logging issues, making pull requests, code commits & more.If you’re interested in joining the advocacy hub, please join us at k8sport.org! We hope you’re as excited about what you see as we are to continue to build it and present it to you.For a quick walkthrough on K8sPort authentication and the hub itself, see this quick demo, below.–Ryan Quackenbush, Advocacy Programs Manager, Apprenda

Webinar Q&A: Introducing Docker Enterprise Edition (EE)

A few weeks ago we announced Docker Enterprise Edition (EE), the trusted, certified and supported container platform. Docker EE enables IT teams to establish a Containers as a Service (CaaS) environment to converge legacy, ISV and microservices apps into a single software supply chain that is flexible, secure and infrastructure independent. With a built in orchestration architecture (swarm mode) Docker EE allows app teams to compose and schedule simple to complex apps to drive their digital transformation initiatives.

On March 14th we hosted a live webinar to provide an overview and demonstration of Docker EE. View the recorded session below and read through some of the most popular questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is Docker EE licensed?
A: Docker EE is licensed per node. A node is an instance running on a bare metal or virtual server. For more details visit www.docker.com/pricing
Q: Is Google Cloud also one of your certified infrastructure partners?
A: Docker EE is available today for both Azure and AWS. Google Cloud is currently offered as a private beta with Docker Community Edition. Learn more in this blog post and sign up at https://beta.docker.com 
Q: What technology is used for the security scanning and vulnerability features of Docker EE? Does security scanning have a separate license?
A: Docker Security Scanning is the technology that conducts binary level scanning of Docker images and continuous vulnerability monitoring. This capability is included in the Docker EE Advanced subscription tier.  A free 30 day trial is available for you to try security scanning.
Q: Will signing and scanning images and the vulnerabilities for that image work on any image that is internally developed or only images that are downloaded from the Docker Store?
A: Yes, signing and scanning works for any image that is pushed to the on-premises registry (DTR) that is part of Docker EE.
Q: Where can I see the key features included in each of the different Docker EE tiers?
A: There are three tiers: Basic, Standard and Advanced. A comparison table is available at www.docker.com/pricing. 

Q: Can we use the container management layer (UCP) with Docker Community Edition?
A: No. The container management (UCP) and image registry (DTR) are tested, validated and supported for the Docker EE certified infrastructure only.
Q: Can you run Docker Certified Containers over Docker CE Engine?
A: No. Certified Containers and Plugins are tested, validated and supported to the Docker EE certified infrastructure only.
Q: How does the licensing work for Certified Containers and Plugins downloaded from Docker Store?
A: Similar to many other software marketplaces, Docker Store provides an interface for the publisher to provide a pay as you go or BYOL style of container for the Docker Store. Entitlement and upgrades are managed through the Docker Store by the publisher. The publisher can determine the subscription price for the end user.
Q: What is the difference between Docker CE and Docker EE?
A: The Docker product page provides a comparison between Docker CE and EE. https://www.docker.com/get-docker. Docker CE provides a free Docker platform available for many community infrastructure. Docker EE is an integrated container management and security platform with certification and capabilities like role based access control, LDAP/AD integration, deployment policies and more.
Q: Can Docker EE be run within my enterprise or is it only run externally?
A: Docker EE can be deployed on-premises or in your VPC.
Q 12: Does EE Basic use use normal swarm since UCP is with the other versions?
A: Both Docker CE and EE have built in orchestration capabilities of swarm mode. Each node is a fully functioning building block to be a manager or worker node in the cluster.  With Docker Enterprise Edition, the integrated management UI builds on top of the built in swarm mode orchestration and integrates with the private registry and Role Based Access Controls to provide a robust platform for end to end container application management.
Q 13: What is the migration path from Docker Community Edition to Enterprise Edition?
A: The apps built on Docker CE will also run on Docker EE. However there is no in place migration of the cluster itself.  To migrate apps to a Docker EE environment, a new cluster will need to be set up and the same Compose files and images can be deployed as services to the new Docker EE environment.

Meet the winners of the Holberton School and Docker hackathon

The last weekend in February, Holberton School and Docker held a joint Docker Hackathon where current students spent 24 hours making cool Docker hacks. Students were joined by Docker mentors who helped them along the way in addition to serving as judges for the final products. 

Here are some highlights from the hackathon.
Third place goes to… Julien, a personal assistant built with Docker and Alexa by Bobby and Larry
In their own words:

After discussing a few ideas, we settled on the idea of doing a Docker/Alexa integration that would abstract away repetitive command line interactions, allowing the user/developer to check the state of her Docker containers, and easily deploy them to production, only using voice commands. Hands free, we would prompt Alexa to interact with our Docker images and containers in various ways (ex1: “spin up image file x on server y”, “list all running containers on server z”, “deploy image a from server x to server y”) and Alexa would do it.
The main technical hurdle of the project was securely communicating between Alexa and our VMs running. To do this we used  the Java JSch library. This class gave us the ability to programmatically shell into our virtual machines, run commands and receive the output remotely from the VM.  Here is a basic diagram of our the data flow: voice command→ Alexa intent interpreter (running on AWS Lambda) selects a bash script executing Docker commands with variables passed in → jsh opens a ssh session into the selected VM and runs script →  outputs of script returns via jsh →  Alexa interprets returned output and gives audio message declaring success or other output as appropriate.

Second place goes to… Call Me Moby — An SMS Container Management App by Corbin Coleman and Jennie Chu
Call Me Moby works in the following ways:
1. Your docker command text is received by our web server as a HTTP POST request
2. Twilio API interprets this request and reads your message as text
3. This text is later parsed and then interacts with the Docker Engine API to perform your operation.
4. We then send back our response to the web server, often times including a text message reply with necessary return statements
5. Finally our message will be sent and received by our phone.
How Can You Use it? Grab the Call Me Moby image from Docker Hub.
In their own words:
Our app.py file contains the brute of the application, handling incoming HTTP requests, maintaining our web server, and utilizing both the Docker Engine and Twilio API. Try running the python3 app.py and go open your local host on your favorite web browser!
Unfortunately, the current app is only running in the local environment and in order for our server to receive the HTTP request, we has to use the ngrok tunneling service. Ngrok provides a localhost tunnel such that outside services can get access to our local development environment. After installation, run Ngrok locally using ./ngrok http 5000, to create your forwarding address. You can also copy and paste your forwarding address into your web browser and see that now any machine can have access to our local environment. Assuming you have a Twilio Account and phone number, just copy and paste your forwarding address to your Twilio phone number management console. From there, run your app.py and start texting and managing!

And the winner is … (drum roll please)… HMS (Honeypot Management System) by Holden Grissett by Tim Britton
In their own words:

HMS (Honeypot Management System, also a great naval pun) is a honeypot server custom-tailored to make use of the modularity of containers for extensibility and security. We adapted the honeypot server for use in swarm mode to demonstrate the use of container-based honeypots at scale in swarm mode. This system allows us to easily scale up data collection for security research.

HMS currently includes a server to mimic an insecure telnet service, made for the hackathon. Upon connection to the server, a container is spun up for each client. The client’s input is parsed and can either be sent directly to the container and the response sent directly to the client (to give the illusion that they’re directly inside the container), or commands can have pre-scripted responses, or blocked entirely for security. It’s currently set-up to mimic a Busybox installation, but with minor tweaking could easily emulate any image on Docker Store! At current it easily passes tests made by Mirai and Hajime botnets. When these bots seemingly successfully download their malware and exit the server, the container is checked for differences and any downloaded or created files are tar’d and saved for logging purposes.
Going forward, we are extending our functionality to make deploying honeypot images in swarm mode faster and easier. We would also like to extend functionality to existing honeypots and create more of our own container-based honeypots.

Learn Docker with our DockerCon 2017 Hands-On Labs

We’re excited to announce that #DockerCon 2017 will feature a comprehensive set of hands-on labs. We first introduced hands-on labs at DockerCon EU in 2015, and they were also part of DockerCon 2016 last year in Seattle. This year we’re offering a broader range of topics that cover the interests of both developers and operations personnel on both Windows and Linux (see below for a full list)
These hands-on labs are designed to be self-paced, and are run on the attendee’s laptop. But, don’t worry, all the infrastructure will be hosted again this year on Microsoft Azure. So, all you will need is a laptop capable of instantiating a remote session over SSH (for Linux) or RDP (for Windows).

We’ll have a nice space set up in between the ecosystem expo and breakout rooms for you to work on the labs. There will be tables and stools along with power and wireless Internet access as well as lab proctors to answer questions. But, because of the way the labs are set up, you could also stop by, sign up, and take your laptop to a quiet spot and work on your own.
As you can tell, we’re pretty stoked on the labs, and we think you will be to.
See you in Austin!
DockerCon 2017 Hands-on Labs

#Docker Orchestration

In this lab you can play around with the container orchestration features of Docker. You will deploy a Dockerized application to a single host and test the application. You will then configure Docker Swarm Mode and deploy the same application across multiple hosts. You will then see how to scale the application and move the workload across different hosts easily.

Docker Networking

In this lab you will learn about key Docker Networking concepts. You will get your hands dirty by going through examples of a few basic concepts, learn about Bridge and Overlay networking, and finally learning about the Swarm Routing Mesh.

Modernize .NET Apps – for Devs.

A developer’s guide to app migration, showing how the Docker platform lets you update a monolithic application without doing a full rebuild. You’ll start with a sample app and see how to break components out into separate units, plumbing the units together with the Docker platform and the tried-and-trusted applications available on Docker Hub.

Modernize .NET Apps &8211; for Ops.

An admin guide to migrating .NET apps to Docker images, showing how the build, ship, run workflow makes application maintenance fast and risk-free. You’ll start by migrating a sample app to Docker, and then learn how to upgrade the application, patch the Windows version the app uses, and patch the Windows version on the host &8211; all with zero downtime.

Getting Started with Docker on Windows Server 2016

Get started with Docker on Windows, and learn why the world is moving to containers. You’ll start by exploring the Windows Docker images from Microsoft, then you’ll run some simple applications, and learn how to scale apps across multiple servers running Docker in swarm mode

Building a CI / CD Pipeline in Docker Cloud

In this lab you will construct a CI / CD pipeline using Docker Cloud. You’ll connect your GitHub account to Docker Cloud, and set up triggers so that when a change is pushed to GitHub, a new version of your Docker container is built.

Discovering and Deploying Certified Content with Docker Store

In this lab you will learn how to locate certified containers and plugins on docker store. You&8217;ll then deploy both a certified Docker image, as well as a certified Docker plugin.

Deploying Applications with Docker EE (Docker DataCenter)

In this lab you will deploy an application that takes advantage of some of the latest features of Docker EE (Docker Datacenter). The tutorial will lead you through building a compose file that can deploy a full application on UCP in one click. Capabilities that you will use in this application deployment include:

Docker services
Application scaling and failure mitigation
Layer 7 load balancing
Overlay networking
Application secrets
Application health checks
RBAC-based control and visibility with teams

Vulnerability Detection and Remediation with Docker EE (Docker Datacenter)

Application vulnerabilities are a continuous threat and must be continuously managed. In this tutorial we will show you how Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) can detect known vulnerabilities through image security scanning. You will detect a vulnerability in a running app, patch the app, and then apply a rolling update to gradually deploy the update across your cluster without causing any application downtime.

Docker to donate containerd to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation

Today, Docker announced its intention to donate the #containerd project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Back in December 2016, Docker spun out its core container runtime functionality into a standalone component, incorporating it into a separate project called containerd, and announced we would be donating it to a neutral foundation early this year. Today we took a major step forward towards delivering on our commitment to the community by following the Cloud Native Computing Foundation process and presenting a proposal to the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) for containerd to become a CNCF project: [overview][link], [proposal][link]. Given the consensus we have been building with the community, we are hopeful to get a positive affirmation from the TOC before CloudNativeCon/KubeCon later this month.  
Over the past 4 years, the adoption of containers with Docker has triggered an unprecedented wave of innovation in our industry: we believe that donating containerd to the CNCF will unlock a whole new phase of innovation and growth across the entire container ecosystem. containerd is designed as an independent component that can be embedded in a higher level system, to provide core container capabilities. Since our December announcement, we have focused efforts on identifying the right home for containerd, and making progress in implementing it and building consensus in the community.

Why is the CNCF the right place for containerd?

Given that containerd has been the heart of the Docker platform since April 2016 when it was included in Docker 1.11, it is already deployed on millions of machines; we wanted it to continue its development under the governance of an organization where a focus on containerization is  front and center.
Docker with containerd is already a key foundation for Kubernetes, which was the original project donated to the CNCF; Kubernetes 1.5 runs with Docker 1.10.3 to 1.12.3. Moving forward, we and key stakeholders from the Kubernetes project believe that containerd 1.0 can be a great core container runtime for Kubernetes.
Strong alignment with other CNCF projects (in addition to Kubernetes): containerd exposes an API using gRPC and exposes metrics in the Prometheus format. Both projects are part of CNCF already.

Technical progress and building consensus
In the past few months, the containerd team has been active implementing Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the containerd roadmap. You can find details about progress in containerd weekly development reports posted in the Github project.
At the end of February, Docker hosted the containerd summit with more than 50 members of the community from companies including Alibaba, AWS, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Rancher, Red Hat and VMware. The group gathered to learn more about containerd, get more information on containerd’s progress and discuss its design. You can watch some of the presentations in the containerd summit recap blog post: Deep Dive Into Containerd By Michael Crosby, Stephen Day, Derek McGowan And Mickael Laventure (Docker), Driving Containerd Operations With GRPC By Phil Estes (IBM) and Containerd And CRI By Tim Hockin (Google).
Tim Hockin from Google gave the best summary of the containerd summit.

— chanezon (@chanezon) February 23, 2017

There is still a lot of work to finish implementing the containerd 1.0 roadmap, our target being June 2017. If you want to contribute to containerd, or embed it in your container system, you can find the project on GitHub. If you want to learn more about containerd progress, or discuss its design, join us in Berlin in March at CloudNativeCon/KubeCon 2017 (more details to follow) or Austin for DockerCon Day 4 Thursday April 20th, the Docker Internals Summit morning session will be the next containerd summit.
The Summit is a small collaborative event for container runtime and system experts who are actively maintaining, contributing or generally involved in the design and development of containerd and/or related projects. Simply submit a PR to add discussion topics to the agenda. If you have not signed up to attend the summit you can do so in this form.
Today we followed the CNCF process and presented a proposal to the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee (TOC) for containerd to become a CNCF project: [overview][link], [proposal][link]. If the CNCF TOC votes to accept our donation, we are excited for containerd to become part of the CNCF community!

Docker Turns 4: Thank you Docker Community!

In case you missed it, this week we’re celebrating #Docker’s 4th Birthday with meetups all over the world (check out #dockerbday on twitter). This feels like the right time to look back at the past 4 years and reflect on what makes the Docker Community so unique and vibrant: people, values, mentorship and learning opportunities. You can read our own Jérôme Petazzoni’s blog post for a more technical retrospective.
Managing an open source project at that scale and preserving a healthy community doesn’t come without challenges. Last year, Arnaud Porterie wrote a very interesting 3-part series blog post on open source at Docker covering the different challenges associated with the People, the Process and the Tooling and Automation. The most important aspect of all being the people.
Respect, fairness and openness are essential values required to create a welcoming environment for professionals and hobbyists alike. In that spirit, we’ve launched a scholarship program and partnerships in an attempt to improve opportunities for underrepresented groups in the tech industry while helping the Docker Community become more diverse. If you’re interested in this topic, we’re fortunate enough to have Austin area high school student Kate Hirschfeld presenting at DockerCon on Diversity in the face of adversity.
But what really makes the Docker community so special is all of the passionate contributors who work tremendously hard to submit pull requests, file GitHub issues, organize meetups, give talks at conferences, write blog posts or record Docker tips videos.
Leadership, mentorship, contribution and collaboration play a massive role in the development of the Docker Community and container ecosystem. Through the organization of the Docker Mentor Week last year or a Docker Mentor Summit at DockerCon 2017, we’re always trying to emulate the community and encourage more advanced users to share their knowledge with newcomers.
A great example of leadership and mentorship in the Docker Community is Docker Captain Alex Ellis. We could not write a blog post on #PiDay without mentioning Alex and the awesome work he does around Docker and Raspberry Pi. In addition to sharing his knowledge through blog posts and videos, Alex is actively inspiring and mentoring younger folks such as Finnian Anderson. Alex’s support and advocacy got Finnian invited to DockerCon 2017 to give a demo of a Raspberry Pi-driven hardware gauge to monitor a Docker Swarm in real time.

If you’re pumped about all the things you learn and all the people you meet at Docker events, you’re going to love what we have planned for you at this year’s DockerCon! We’re giving everyone at DockerCon access to a tool called #MobyMingle to connect with people who share the same Docker use cases, topic of interests or hack ideas, or even your favorite TV shows. So no matter where you’re traveling from or how many people you know before the conference, we will make sure you end up feeling at home!
