For the last few days I’ve been taking at crack at using the recent Docker container deployment tool that I’ve been hearing a lot buzz about. In essence, it’s a wrapper on top of Linux LXC containers, writen in the new friendly and not so popular yet Go language developed at Google.
Just a little bit of background, for those of you not familiar with LXC containers,
they are pretty much defined as chroot on steroids. Basically, you can run isolated virtual
environments in a single Linux machine and make it look like that they are different machines.
These environments give you the advantage of being isalated and at the same they are able to use
the same Linux exectutables and memory space to improve speed and footprint size.
