Databases and application servers in Docker containers: building images, Docker Compose, networking, volumes and what to consider before running stateful workloads in containers.
Over the last years GitLab became one of the most popular and powerful open source git source code platform. From pure source code repository to a DevOps platform, it’s interesting to see how GitLab has evolved and this is reflected in the technological choices made by the technical teams.

For a few months now, we started a huge project at a customer; build a complete CI/CD platform for Documentum. The final goal is to create a CI/CD process for platform and software delivery to reduce as possible the delivery of the releases. To achieve this goal, 2 main products have been introduced at our customer by our DevOps team:…
On this second day here at DevOps World in Lisbon, I built a very interesting and intensive program of sessions to attend which I will explain to you more in detail below.

Each offers a wide range of more or less identical products with specific features for each. In my point of view, having deployed Kubernetes clusters in several environments (Cloud and On-Premise), I pay particular attention to Google Cloud…
After installing your Kubernetes cluster composed by masters and workers, a few configurations steps need to complete. In fact, the join command is not the last operation to perform, in order to have a fully operational cluster. See how to deploy a k8s cluster using kubeadm here: https://www.dbi-services.com/blog/kubernetes-how-to-install-a-single-master-cluster-with-kubeadm/ . One of the most important steps in the configuration is the…
This is something that I waited for a while, in fact since SQL Server 2017 … and the news came out on Wednesday 09th September 2019. Running Non-Root SQL Server Containers is now possible either on the next version of SQL Server (2019) and it has been backported on SQL Server 2017 as well.

A couple of weeks ago, during an internal dbi services workshop about Docker and K8s, I got an interesting question: is it possible to get a big picture of pods connected to one specific persistent volume (PV) by using kubectl command? It was an interesting question because if we go through the usual kubectl command, it doesn’t provide natively the…
When it comes to troubleshooting processes or to get a deeper look of how SQL Server works internally , I always used debugging tools as windbg on Windows and since SQL Server is available on Linux, I switched to strace tool. But let’s add containers in the game now. I didn’t want to touch any based image for applications including…
