Docker came a long way. It established itself very fast as the de-facto standard to get going with your container journey. It did not matter if you wanted to just play around with containers or if you wanted to build up new microservices, Docker was and still is a great choice to get yourself started. […]
Ansible Automation is a business elevating framework. Yes, it is. This was a creative project, but it really grew out of my frustration that others are building awesome content too. How dare they?!

It is 2020 and everybody is talking more and more about containers. A topic that came up around 2013 with Docker making an ecosystem for developers using containers for faster development cycles. But although the container hype is growing there are still lots of VMs out there, that may also have their right to exist. […]
In my last post I promised to introduce you to a selected set of Quarkus extensions. Today I will cover three of those.
