Just glad to see that there is no "yarn isntall" command.


"Starting today, you can begin running CoreOS in production" - nice!

Git repo is now public https://github.com/docker/libswarm


+1 Sounds like a good use-case. You'd be able to fire up lots of clients very quickly.


Docker is built on-top of Linux Containers (LXC). These provide a secure isolated environment within Linux.

Thanks philwhln, I'd understood that much :) I guess I'm asking: What would be the selling point of using Docker (LXC) over Jails/Zones?


You can run the full-stack inside a container. eg. run Red Hat or CentOS inside Ubuntu. The process inside LXC / Docker is unaware it's inside a container. You can have 100 processes all think they're binding to a given port, which simplifies things within the container. This is why docker images work so well: they can be fired up and use the same configuration no matter how many instances you create. LXC = jail on steroids.


That's right. It's closer to the software layer than the infrastructure layer, so there's a lot more flexibility. You could essentially run a few machines on bare metal and use Docker as the virtualization layer. Just need an OS that supports LXC and you're good to go.


I interviewed one of the creators of Docker, Solomon Hykes, last week. Blog post is here. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5816622


Stackato rocks!


I really wish they would publish some prices though. I'm hesitant of the "contact us" pricing model.


It's up again now and staying up. The original server it was on wasn't prepared for the wrath of Hacker News.


Ironic that "BigFastBlog" wasn't prepared for a few thousands (tens of thousands maybe) hits. It's not loading atm for me either.
