Work remains work, regardless of the location. Working remotely has become the new normal, but some organizations have started to return to their office workspaces, albeit with a minimal workforce.

We continue with our series of articles on containers. First, we started with creating our own images with Docker Build and saw how to run them with Docker run. But today we will learn what Docker Compose is and start our journey into the world of container orchestration. Up to now we have managed containers manually and separately, which for some specific test may be valid and functional. But when the number of containers to manage starts growing, this method becomes infeasible.

Elastic 7.6 introduced the inference processor for performing inference on documents as they are ingested through an ingest pipeline.
