Comments on How to use Docker in a practical way (part 1 - Introduction)

It is not an uncommon situation, for early adopters of newly introduced concepts and technologies, to be totally confused when these can fundamentally change the ways of developing and delivering services. Especially when everybody talks about something like Docker, and how awesome and game changing it is. This confusion happens when we try things early on and rushing straight to testing them without grasping the whole concept and background of this newly introduced technology.

Thanks for the info on Docker.

W.R.T the introductory part:

Virtualisation came along more than 49 years ago (CP67).

Virtualisation hardware assists came along almost as long ago, but the one that is much better than those metioned in the article (SIE) has been around for more than 30 years.

I am reading this article on March 8, 2019 (today for me). At the end of the article, it states that the second part will be published "next week." In my context, "next week" will be March 10, 2019. One major flaw with this article is that it is not dated. Who knpws when "next week" was? It is possible that "next week" really is March 10, 2019, but I seriously doubt it. No article on the entire internet should use relative dates and times. What happens to someone who finds this article on January 5, 2020. That person will have to "wait" until January 12, 2020 to see the second part. Un-dated material and relative dates are a pet pieve of mine. So, my question is "When was this article actually written?"

Till,

You missed my point. I could have found them just as easily by clicking on the links myself, which I actually did click on the Part 2 link BEFORE I composed my reply. My point is that the article is not dated. It it a major pet pieve of mine that articles are published on the internet without dating them. "Next week" is not a date. Published articles need to be dated. They need to have month, day, and year to have a legitimate date. I would like to see a culture shift where writers do not use terms like yesterday, tomorrow, or next week, etc. And I still don't have the answer to my question: when was the article written? If it was written five years ago, it is probably outdated and I should not waste my time reading it, but if it was written 6 months ago, then it has great value.

The article was written in Jan. 2016.
