Cloud Native Weekly: Docker price increases
Open Source Project Recommendations
Kubeshark
If K8s is compared to an operating system, it is tcpdump on K8s. It is as simple and straightforward to use as Chrome developer tools, giving a clear view of network communication between microservices on K8s.
Teleport
This is a platform designed to provide connectivity, authentication, access control and security auditing for infrastructure, and supports secure access to Linux servers, Kubernetes clusters, Web applications, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases on the intranet. The platform uses an automatic certificate issuance method for authentication, eliminating the need to manage passwords and SSH keys on the target machine.
Skopeo
Skopeo can view container image information of remote warehouses, perform operations such as replication, synchronization, and deletion, and supports docker.io, quay.io, private warehouses, etc.
K8s_PaaS
Through this project, you can learn how to deploy Kubernetes clusters and build a complete software development and deployment platform composed of Apollo, Jenkins, Prometheus and other services on this basis.
Technical recommendations
Kubernetes 1.31 Major update: Remove built-in cloud provider integration
Kubernetes version 1.31 completes the historic removal of integrations with built-in cloud providers, including Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, AWS, OpenStack and VMware vSphere, designed to maintain platform neutrality, reduce code size, improve security and update efficiency. Although the migration process was complex and involved the reconstruction of multiple key components and subsystems, the team successfully completed it and provided migration guidance. This change has limited impact on the DevOps team because there are sufficient notification and transitional versions.
In-depth analysis of Docker and containerization technologies: A comprehensive guide from zero to one
Container technology has swept the entire field of software development and deployment in recent years. It is like a revolutionary force that has completely changed the way software is delivered. Docker, as a leader in container technology, has won the favor of developers around the world for its simplicity and efficiency. This article aims to provide developers who are interested in Docker and containerization technologies or who want to gain an in-depth understanding of their internal mechanisms with a comprehensive guide from entry to mastery. This article is compiled by the author based on years of experience and covers all aspects of Docker and containerization technology.
What’s new in cloud native
Kuperator v0.6.0 is released
Recently, the KusionStack team is pleased to announce the brand upgrade of the Operating project and change its name to Kuperator. This brand upgrade gives the project more missions and responsibilities, and plans to introduce more capabilities, such as multi-cluster progressive release, Controller observability, etc. In addition, the project API has been migrated to kusionstack/kube-api for unified management.
This v0.6.0 version mainly updates the following functions
- Provides Pod batch operation and maintenance framework OperationJob, allowing users to customize operation and maintenance capabilities
- Optimize the experience of CollaSet Pod replacement in upgrade and abnormal scenarios
- Integrate E2E testing to improve project quality
Docker subscription prices have increased significantly and an overview of new strategies
Docker announced that subscription prices will increase by up to 80% starting November 15, 2024, and introduce storage fees for Docker Hub warehouses. To rationalize this adjustment, Docker will bundle more services to provide so-called “one-stop subscription for seamless access to Docker’s full features.” In addition, Docker also plans to launch the new Docker Insights Dashboards (currently in private preview stage and scheduled to be officially released on November 1), providing build time and container image usage data.
Docker currently has four pricing plans, with the personal version free but limited to companies with fewer than 250 employees and annual revenue of less than $10 million. The annual fee for the professional version increased from $60 to $108 (up 80%), the team version increased from $108 to \$180 (up 67%), and the price of the commercial version remained unchanged. Docker Hub is still free to create warehouses, but it will charge an image pulling fee after a certain limit is exceeded.
Shipwright becomes a CNCF sandbox project
On October 3, the open source project Shipwright was accepted as a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) sandbox project and officially moved out of the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF). Shipwright is an extensible framework designed to reliably, securely and efficiently build container images, which is an important part of modern cloud-native development.
In August 2021, Shipwright joined the CD Foundation as a key building block of the modern cloud-native delivery pipeline. During his time at CDF, Shipwright benefited greatly from his collaboration with other CDF projects and the wider CDF community, gaining valuable support and insights. This cooperation plays an important role in helping the project establish itself and develop.
