DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

Bret talks with Stack Overflow legend and Docker Captain, Brandon Mitchell. They talk about (and demo) “regclient” his new project for managing registries remotely via API, and all that’s happened over the last year with Docker registries and Docker Hub. It's worth watching the demos on YouTube. Streamed live on YouTube Jan 21, 2021, Ep 108.

Apple's move to Arm processors will change software development for everyone... or will it?
Apple has moved towards an Arm processor. They don't call it Arm, they call it Apple Silicon, or M1 but underneath that, the architecture of the CPU is Arm 64-bit compatible. Streamed live on YouTube Jan 7, 2021, Ep 106.

• Unedited live recording on YouTube Ep 106

 ★Corrections ★

• "Windows RT" isn't a thing anymore, and the Windows 10 on Arm (WoA) is getting better, with x64 emulation (MS version of Rosetta 2) in pre-beta
• AArch64 or ARM64 is the 64-bit extension of the ARM architecture
• Microsoft is indeed designing its own Arm chips for future Surface and servers
• Windows 10 Arm works in Parallels M1 beta on macOS
• AWS Arm instances are now on Gen 2, as of May 2020, with up to 40% better performance-per-dollar than old Gen 1 Arm, AMD, and Intel

 ★Topics ★

• MX1 and future of Apple Silicon (Arm) on YouTube
• QEMU: emulate one CPU architecture on another
• Multi-arch support in Docker Desktop in docker docs
• Build multi-arch images with buildx in docker docs
• Manifest commands for multi-arch images in docker docs
• Hardcode platform in Compose files in docker docs
• Alex Ellis blog, lots of Arm + Docker info

Alex Chalkias of the Canonical MicroK8s project joins Bret and they dive into this easy and powerful Kubernetes distribution that had some major updates in 2020, including high availability. Since the interview, the open-source community around Microk8s has been releasing versions regularly, including keeping the Kubernetes versions up to date and continuing to add new add-ons to their one-line install list. It's getting quite impressive at this point, including kata containers, open EBS, and the KEDA (Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling) event-driven auto-scaling.
