Ian pointed out that my reply to a meeting announcement might confuse people... So, just to clarify, there is no meeting next week, but on the 24th (AGM). Cheers, Peter On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Peter Reutemann <fracpete(a)waikato.ac.nz> wrote:

We have a meeting coming up next Monday:

"Virtualization has been become commonplace nowadays, with lots of different implementations. Docker provides an as-thin-as-possible approach, making use of the kernel's functionality of resource isolation, eliminating the need for installing an operating system for the guest system. Andrew Parnasov will give an introduction to Docker, how to set it up, how to use and what it can be used for."

Just have come across this here:

"Google Container Engine (Alpha)

Run Docker containers on Google Cloud Platform, powered by Kubernetes. Container Engine takes care of provisioning and maintaining the underlying virtual machine cluster, scaling your application, and operational logistics like logging, monitoring, and health management."
