Message-ID: Hi All, Tonight Shawn S delivered a really interesting presentation on using OpenAPI to build a Mojolicious app that provides web search functionality for MetaCPAN. In the Q&A that followed we discussed the differences between VMs and containers for some time. It seems like there was a lot of interest in containers, so I'm going to suggest that we come up with some ideas on that topic for our March meeting. I'm hoping that folks on this list will be able to jump in a suggest bite-sized mini-talks on topics related to containers. Here are some ideas to get things rolling: - Docker: where did it come from? / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docker_(software) - Vagrant: what MetaCPAN used to run on / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagrant_(software) - The various flavours of VMs / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_machine - Kubernetes / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubernetes When I worked at Bluecat, I found the tool GuestFish very handy for creating file systems that reported any size you wanted, but remained quite small until you started putting stuff into the file system / http://libguestfs.org/guestfish.1.html Let me know if this sounds like something that would be interesting to watch and/or take part.
