Three Docker captains share insights on favorite tools for DevOps in 2023, including Dive, SlimToolkit, OpenTelemetry, and eBPF. They discuss image optimization, CDEvents, MLOps, Ollama, Inspektor Gadget, and Arc Browser. Future trends like WebAssembly and Digestabot are also explored.
ARC browser offers improved tab organization and AI features for efficient browsing.
Machine Learning Operations emphasize workflow streamlining and AWS SageMaker's versatility.
K6 load testing tool showcases performance and stress testing strategies for future podcast exploration.
Deep dives
ARC Browser - A New Browser Experience
ARC browser introduces a fresh browsing experience with a focus on improved tab organization. Its minimal UI design enhances user efficiency, and the browser offers seamless tab synchronization across multiple devices. Additionally, ARC incorporates AI features for efficient browsing, including instant link summaries and page summarization.
ML Ops and AWS SageMaker - Dive into Machine Learning Operations
Melissa delves into Machine Learning Operations, exploring AWS SageMaker for training and serving machine learning models. She highlights the importance of enhanced workflows and tools in the MLOps domain to streamline data processing, training, and model deployment. Melissa emphasizes SageMaker's versatility and ease of use for ML operations.
The audience mentions K6, a potent load testing tool that hasn't been explored on the show yet. Its capabilities in performance testing and stress testing strategies make it a compelling topic for future episodes. Possible future episodes could deep dive into K6 to showcase its effectiveness in load testing scenarios.
Atomic Jar and Test Containers - Elevating Testing Frameworks
Discussing the acquisition of Atomic Jar by Docker and its association with Test Containers, a framework aiding effective testing within Docker containers. The episode could explore the expansion of Test Containers to cover multiple programming languages, offering a diversified testing approach for developers.
ARM Architecture and QEMU - Addressing Compatibility Challenges
Delving into running non-ARM applications on ARM architecture by either recompiling dependencies for ARM compatibility or employing QEMU for emulation purposes. Highlighting the performance trade-offs when using QEMU and the challenges of maintaining compatibility across diverse binary types in containerized environments.
Bret and Nirmal are joined by Melissa McKay, Developer Advocate at JFrog and Docker Captain, to discuss the best and worst of 2023.
We recorded this episode in December of 2023 where we talked through our favorite tools. Whether a DevOps oriented tool or not, it just might be the things we like to use on containers and in Cloud Native DevOps. This is a fun episode of three friends talking about what they love. And I sometimes I think these are the best shows because we didn't plan them out. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it.
The live recording of the complete show from December 14, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #245)
