▷ the Bright blog

We’ve just returned from OpenStack Days Nordic, a two-day conference in Copenhagen. As was to be expected, it was a worthwhile event.The keynotes, especially, did not disappoint.

We’ve been writing about many of the great features of Version 7.3 of Bright Cluster Manager software, but I have to say that revamping our Amazon Web Services (AWS) integration is high on my list of improvements. It’s now far easier to deploy the AWS cluster extension and Cluster on Demand capabilities of Bright Cluster Manager. We’ve even added the ability to create multiple clusters on demand in parallel.

We have come to final round of our blog smackdown between containerization and virtualization. Read on to see if anyone inflicts a beat-down. Our final post looks at device access and concludes with a few words summing up the contest.

Our blog smackdown between containerization and virtualization continues with a new post on package distribution.

For new readers, we are in the middle of a “wrestling match” – a friendly contest between Taras Shapovalov, (team container) Piotr Wachowicz (team VM). The battle royal includes:

Our blog smackdown between containerization and virtualization is moving along nicely. We have even extended it two more “rounds” because our teammates have so much more to say! Our next post is about image version control.

Our 9-part blog smackdown between containerization and virtualization continues today with a look at two topics: start time and setup orchestration.

For new readers, we are deep into our “wrestling match” – a friendly contest between Taras Shapovalov, (team container) Piotr Wachowicz (team VM). The battle royal includes:

Continuing our 8-part blog smackdown between containerization and virtualization, today we are going to dive deeper into overhead. We’ll discuss how much virtual machine (VM) overhead can be reduced with the right know-how and tools and how that matches up with containerization overhead.

Containers are the hot topic at many if not most of the IT conferences I have attended recently. Containerization has definitely invaded the territory of virtualization, with many saying that containerization wins in a beat down. Does industry even need VMs anymore?
