Node Developers: Get Acquainted with Docker
Some great discussions at yesterdays Container Summit, but the biggest takeaway is that container technology is fully production ready (and has actually already in production in various companies for years), and fully exploits all the security features provided by Linux.
Node developers, I recommend getting acquainted with containers technology now. I created a quick start that is current for current versions of Docker (v1.8.1) and Node.js (v4.0.0), which you can see at this GitHub gist.
I was thinking of getting into docker a little while ago, are you using docker now yourself? Is it far better than using the typical git clone and npm install?
I removed all the steps that I originally included due to LinkedIn's poor code formatting, which I didn't notice until after publishing the article. The contents are all available in the referenced gist.
