Snapping out of Docker: a robotics guide for migrating Docker to Snap
In this blog post, we are going to see when and how to migrate a ROS application currently deployed with Docker to Snap.
[...]
- During the development and testing stage, the use of Docker containers is a good way to reproduce the application environment consistently, reducing the risk of unexpected behaviour. Just like Docker, you could do the same with other container technologies like LXD, reducing issues with missing dependencies or differences in system configurations.
- When transitioning from development to deployment and maintenance, Docker’s limitations in the robotics field become apparent. Docker lacks dedicated high-level interfaces for accessing low-level hardware. It also lacks a robust update system and state transactionality. Docker containers are also not integrated in terms of network. All of these limitations require the user to implement workarounds that can be challenging, and expose our application to security issues.

Teleport brings kernel-level observability to identity/access management and compliance
The friction between developer and operations teams birthed DevOps, just as the same friction with security teams birthed DevSecOps. But with the many tools devs need to do their job, managing things like login access and identity consolidation is still quite cumbersome. -
How do you monetize free tech? OpenFaaS founder weighs in [Ed: More paid-for Kubecon chaff]
Lending insights as a community leader is how one goes about the difficult task of getting paid for developing open-source projects, according to the founder of a growing open-source, serverless deployment platform for Kubernetes. -
Finleap goes cloud-native with the help of CockroachDB
In 2018, financial services company Finleap Connect GmbH was looking to take move its operations to the cloud. The company found Cockroach Labs Inc. to help. At the time, CockroachDB was a fledgling player in the distributed SQL market. -
Sensors provide security tracking for Kubernetes environments
Kubernetes naturally introduces new variables into the digital landscape, creating potential vulnerabilities and highlighting the need for security. So what are the nuances of building a Kubernetes-based environment that is actually secure? Deepfence Inc. has been creating a unique solution. -
Real-time platforms change the game for on-prem, cloud and edge data services
Data is the new oil. And the way companies access, manipulate and act upon their available data resources in real time is opening up new customer touchpoints and avenues for profitability. Hazelcast Inc., a real-time stream processing platform, is working advance this space on-premises, at the edge or as a fully managed cloud service. -
Container infrastructure continues to progress for application developers
Dedicated infrastructure layers found in service meshes like Istio, along with other containers add-ons, are addressing the challenges developers and operators face. Safer rollouts, for example, is a challenge Istio solves, says Varun Talwar (pictured), co-founder of Tetrate.io Inc. -
Applications are expanding and evolving security for Kubernetes, says containers interface developer
Kubernetes is rapidly shifting toward the edge, believes an executive tasked with providing a management interface for the container solution. It’s because telcos are now looking to run other applications on top of core radio functions and networks; and also because factories are increasingly requiring lower latency for manufacturing robotics. -
Cortex works to streamline quality in microservices
One of the main things engineering teams within organizations need constant reassurance on - while they work their magic - is the quality of their software. As the adoption of microservices soars, the ability for organizations to maintain visibility into the status and quality of their microservices has never been more pertinent
