Kubernetes : The genie in a text file

The fact that a container resides inside a text file was sufficiently awesome. Looking at the way orchestration is done via the Kubernetes has a feeling that its a miracle and yes the miracle has made the giant give in and Lo & Behold ....

Docker gives into inevitable and offers native Kubernetes support

It was not inevitable as the news refers to but it was really hard work at Kubernetes and already most of the big guns have given up (or joined hands with Kubernetes). The following news item show.


Platinum Members : Microsoft, AWS, CISCO, CoreOS, DellTechnologies, Fujitsu, Google, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Joyent, NEOSPHERE, ORACLE, Pivotal, Redhat, Samsung, SAP, VMWare and Finally Docker.

The above list shows that there is quite a bit of back story to the 'inevitable'. 

Happy Days for k8s and loving it totally.

Linux Newbie : Why grep almost never yields something productive

Getting Started Level 0 Every Linux newbie hears about power of grep sooner or later. But no sooner does newbie try to use the grep command the experiment ends badly. The reason grep almost never yields anything productive is because of a couple of issues. The basic problem is lack of knowledge of regular expressions and secondly knowledge of switches of grep. This realization should not deter a new user from using grep. A very nice detailed tutorial of regular expression (regex) is available here . The migrating user having used dir and similar commands in DOS and using windows search box almost never expects (nor can fathom) the power provided by grep. Firstly grep means "global regular expression print". Now this means that knowledge of regex is required to be able to use grep effectively . Now what should a newbie do? Wait till user's regex knowledge improves? NO NOT AT ALL. That would scare away the user and never to use grep. Here is the first simple command that ...

Linux Newbie : Why I cannot use Latex like those gurus?

Image
Latex is another brilliant Linux / Unix specialty hidden behind the geek facade.  Interesting introduction here {warning PDF file} talks in detail about why and how document processing improves with increase in document complexity. In the words of the author "It is very hard to write unstructured and disorganized documents" . I like the approach but feel that this might attract power users but for newbies its more of the same old school of Linux is for geeks. The purpose is not to criticize the authors. He / she did a great job and deserves credit for this article as well. Now the primary question is how and where to start, following tutorials almost always leads to temporary use. Even students writing thesis in latex only a few would later use it for submitting assignments or other work. The problem is two fold one the students or users are not introduced to latex in a friendly manner rather they use it as if trying to live up to the 'lofty standards' setup by ad...

Twofolds Joy of using Ubuntu

Frequent inhibitors to migrating to Ubuntu are what if something goes wrong, where will my windows go, what if I don't get everything working and topmost is I have only one partition what to do now don't wish to risk any partition magicians. A quick fix to all this rests in using Windows-based Ubuntu Installer (Wubi). If something goes wrong you don't lose windows, hard disk space and top of all your patience with Linux-derivatives. All it takes is the following simple steps 1. Go to the Ubuntu Windows Installer Link 2. Let the 1.4 MB or so file to download and then install click. 3. Then let the application take charge while it asks for minimal information like username and password. 4. Boom after a couple of restarts and long download (700+ MB)you will have a copy of Ubuntu lying alongside windows harmless. 5. If you encounter some hiccups then its best to go to the windows and ask around google and then apply the fixes. This is the fun part that such hiccups no l...
