Data science has exploded as a practice in the past decade and has become an undisputed driver of innovation. The forcing factors behind the rising interest in Machine Learning, a not so new concept, have consolidated and created an unparalleled capacity for Deep Learning, a subset of Artificial Neural Networks with many “hidden layers”, to thrive in the years to come.

This article explores how we can reverse engineer Docker images by examining the internals of how Docker images store data, how to use tools to examine the different aspects of the image, and how we can create tools like Dedockify to leverage the Python Docker API to create Dockerfiles from source images.

Kubernetes is an open source-system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts. It aims to provide a “platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts.” Originally developed by Google, it is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

This week, Canonical announced the integration of Charmed Kubernetes with Microsoft Azure Arc. This integration provides businesses with a centralised place to manage their Kubernetes clusters and deploy their applications at scale, from cloud to the edge. The Azure Arc dashboard enables management and governance of any Kubernetes, across any substrate.

The promise of Kubernetes is to empower your organization to quickly deliver applications and services to your customers. Delivering fast cycle time and innovation requires developers and operators to collaborate effectively to ensure safety while moving fast. The GitOps methodology has taken hold in the Kubernetes ecosystem to deliver on this promise. What is GitOps? GitOps provides a mechanism to safely deploy Kubernetes manifests stored in a Git repository.
