Solr on Docker: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

This talk was given during Lucene Revolution 2017 and has two goals: first, to discuss the tradeoffs for running Solr on Docker. For example, you get dynamic allocation of operating system caches, but you also get some CPU overhead. We'll keep in mind that Solr nodes tend to be different than your average container: Solr is usually long running, takes quite some RSS and a lot of virtual memory. This will imply, for example, that it makes more sense to use Docker on big physical boxes than on configurable-size VMs (like Amazon EC2).

Comparing Docker Security tools

There are quite a few Docker security tools in the ecosystem; how do they compare? Everyone starts with image vulnerability scanning, but that's just the beginning and usually stops where your CI/CD pipeline ends. That’s why we created this extensive list of 20 container and Docker specific security tools that can help keep containers secure in production.

Container Monitoring Overview with Sysdig Monitor

Curious how to do container monitoring right? In this video, see an overview of Sysdig Monitor as we go in depth on how to monitor docker containers. We look at Sysdig ContainerVision as a method to see inside containers from the outside, and ServiceVision to help enrich container metrics with service-oriented metadata from Kubernetes, OpenShift, Docker Swarm, and Mesos - DC/OS.

Bleemeo Joins the Docker Certification Program

We are happy to announce today that Bleemeo's smart agent has been accepted into the Docker Certification Program, a framework for partners to integrate and certify their technology to the Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) commercial platform. Starting today, Bleemeo's smart agent is now listed on the Docker Store as a "Docker Certified Container".

Using Træfik for internal tools at Bleemeo

At Bleemeo, as many geeks, we use a couple of tools on a day to day basis. Most of those tools are small Open Source web applications and, to be trendy, we deploy those tools with Docker. In the past, we used to create a virtual machine per service, deploy the tool and configure web server on each machine. Moreover if you are using https, you need to deploy certificates and private keys on each server.
