TL;DR: Save time and headaches by following this recipe for working with Tensorflow, Jupyter, Docker, and Nvidia GPUs on Google Cloud.

Drawing from our developer experience learnings operating a Serverless-like platform at Netflix, we outline various aspects that are applicable to general purpose serverless solutions too.

Bootstrap Docker Swarm Setup with Docker Compose on Ubuntu 16.04:

In my previous blog post I wrote how to build, boot and connect to an OpenSSH server with Docker's LinuxKit toolchain. We now take that to the next logical step which is to package an application with a secure, immutable OS to create an appliance.

But let’s start with the basics: LinuxKit is a tool to create immutable and minimal operating system images. As you might expect, it heavily leverages Docker images and uses containers to run services via containerd.

You’ve probably read about LinuxKit and the Moby Project. If you haven’t it’s recommended that you do before we start.

LinuxKit, which Docker announced back in April, is one of the newest tools to enter the Docker universe. Here’s what you need to know about what LinuxKit does and what it means for security.

LinuxKit was introduced at last DockerCon 2017 in Austin,TX and it’s announced as “a toolkit for building custom minimal, immutable Linux distributions”.
This basically means you can package and run your application within a minimal Linux-based OS where you are able to use only the parts you really need for your application to work. You can select the Linux kernel of your choice, some required system services and your application code to bake them all together in an executable machine image. With LinuxKit you can easily create your custom images for bare metal, different hypervisors or cloud providers.

Docker For Mac 17.06 CE edition is the first Docker version built entirely on the Moby Project. In case you’re new, Moby is an open framework created by Docker, Inc to assemble specialised container systems. It comprises of 3 basic elements: a library of containerised backend components (e.g., a low-level builder, logging facility, volume management, networking, image management, containerd, SwarmKit), a framework for assembling the components into a standalone container platform, and tooling to build, test and deploy artifacts for these assemblies and a reference assembly, called Moby Origin, which is the open base for the Docker container platform, as well as examples of container systems using various components from the Moby library or from other projects.
