a decage of docker containers

A Decade of Docker Containers – Communications of the ACM

containers have, IMHO, been one of those really transformative developments in the software engineering ecosystem. i’ve certainly found my life better off with them. this is a reasonable retrospective and overview of some of the technical objectives and challenges. there’s a pretty decent rundown of the history and technology required to run containers on the mac and on windows. i found the windows discussion particularly interesting given that i have zero insight into things there.

running containers on a mac is still something of a hass, but on balance, incredibly handy.
