If you want to share a Docker image, you can do so:

• through a Docker Registry,
• by a Docker CLI command.

Docker provides several commands to share a Docker image:

• export: creates a .tar file from the container's file system,
• import: creates a Docker image with the filesystem from a .tar file,
• save: creates a .tar file from a Docker image with its history,
• load: creates a Docker image with its history from a .tar file.

The docker load command keeps the history of the image, unlike the docker import command.

To create a container from an existing one, use…

Updating Docker containers can require significant effort. There are of course solutions to automate these updates. Here we look at the solution proposed by the Docker WatchTower image (https://github.com/v2tec/watchtower).

WatchTower is a Docker Container that updates all running containers when there is an update for that container.

The principle is:

• you run the WatchTower container,
• you create a Docker image,
• you push it to Docker Hub,
• you update this Docker image,
• you push it to Docker Hub,
• WatchTower stops the container of the image you have created, updates the image and then restarts the container.

In this story, I propose to analyze the mission control of US Army as exposed in the Army Doctrine Publication ADP 6–0 Mission Command, and to understand what can be useful for Agile contexts. It’s a personal analysis and comments are very welcome.

First, let’s understand the global philosophy of US Army.

• Unified Land Operations is one of the foundation of Mission Command philosophy, which is guided by principles.
• It’s executed through the Mission Command warfighting function.
• A series of mutually supported tasks (command tasks, staff tasks, and additional tasks) enabled by a Mission Command System.

What Unified Land Operations teaches us

The organization’s mission and…

The Book of DevOps Patterns is a long series of patterns used by DevOps. Each story is introduced in a synthetic way by going to the essential. For more patterns, read my book DevOps Patterns DevOps (https://www.amazon.com/DevOps-Patterns-Guide-Bruno-Delb-ebook/dp/B08QSMX9LC).

The people closest to a problem usually know the most about the problems. This is especially true as the system is complex and dynamic. This means that the further away the person being asked for approval is from the problem, the greater the risk of failure. Change advisory committees are important, but they should not evaluate every change. Because it is not possible…

In this series of articles, I will introduce the different Swagger tools. Swagger is a very handy tool for API documentation. It allows you to generate “living” documentation, so that the documentation is always up to date, which is very difficult to do without this kind of tool. It also allows to generate code automatically, allowing the developer to focus on his core business. Finally, it is based on an open source specification format.

These articles focus on Swagger 2.0, while the 3.0 version (“OpenAPI 3.0.0”) is available.

This article is thus broken down into four parts :

• Introduction,
• The…
