Docker in Production: A History of Failure
Well, this person seems to have had a hard few months. I have a lot of problems with the post though:<p>- Docker do not own CoreOS and did not create the distro<p>- Docker did not write OverlayFS<p>- There are issues with storage drivers. Don't use AUFS for the reasons outlined. I've had no issues with Overlay2, but note there is also devicemapper (which Red Hat have poured a lot of time into) and BTRFS. And ZFS now IIRC.<p>- It's not correct to say Docker was designed "not" to do persistent data. You do need to be aware of what you're doing, and I suggest not running DBs in containers until you have the solved the FS issues and have experience with orchestration.<p>- Kubernetes has been around for a while now and is fairly stable in my view. Swarm isn't rubbish, but the new version is very young and you may run into issues in the short term.<p>- With microservices, when you are running lots of small containers, you have to expect them to crash now and again. It's just the law of averages. You need to design your application to accept this and deal with it when it happens.<p>If you hit this many problems with any given tech, I would suggest you should be looking for outside help from someone that has experience in the area.
