| On Weave, yeah. Not the best performance, and improving. Flannel is obviously better, and one of the reasons we're excited about rocket. That changes almost nothing for shops hoping to move to containerized architectures now. It's only for existing early adopters. The idea that docker introduces that much uncertainty is outright fear mongering. There is a huge amount of recalcitrance in the community to do anything meaningful in the space due to a proposed risk aversion. My personal opinion is that we're all pretending we didn't write incredibly delicate and brittle provisioning and monitoring code with very dated tools. Many people I know, and more than a few I respect, ultimately point to all their provisioning shell scripts as the ultimate reluctance to change things. "It will be really hard to migrate and test these! Generating them is a pain!" Of course, the elephant in the room is we all knew this going into it and we all know we SHOULDN'T have been doing things like generate shell script execution and using git to provision on production boxes and w/e other hacky shit we've done. Of course, what we have is not any one thing but all too often an amalgam of spare hours and quick fixes and patches laid over some existing provisioning system like salt, ansible (or just a whole shit ton of puppet work). Counter-intuitively, suddenly everyone has become a devops luddite when it comes to a genuinely novel approach even though container abstractions have already proven themselves at scale. People hem and haw and suggest that somehow it's not ready for production. Meanwhile major players in the space are already using them, even for core services, with excellent results. Lightweight containerization has been used to solve this for awhile now. Docker as a product and initiative is relatively new, but to suggest it was the first example of a container engine used in production ignores the actual history of lightweight containers. |
Show me a docker-aware Rapid7
There are a lot of tools for security and compliance completely thrown out with the bathwater when you move to containers. You're not going to get enterprises to bite until you can satisfy the auditors.
