Chris Hickman and Jon Christensen of Kelsus and Rich Staats from Secret Stache discuss the differences between virtual machines (VMs) and containers. What are the pros? Cons? Similarities? Differences?

Mobycast 01: Virtual Machines vs Containers

What goes on inside an organization when it decides to make the switch to Docker? What does a team and company go through? Chris Hickman and Jon Christensen of Kelsus discuss transitioning legacy applications to Docker. About two-three years ago, Chris joined a company that was in the midst of transitioning to Docker to handle its Amazon Web loads. He was tasked with learning how to dockerize all of the microservices deployed by the company inside AWS.

Jon Christensen and Chris Hickman of Kelsus discuss Amazon’s Elastic Container Service (ECS) – how it works and why they use it. The term “container” comes from stacking containers on ships, and containers offer several advantages. But how does containerization relate to scaling on a large application?

Just as the Twelve-Factor App methodology was born from real world experience of deploying successful apps at Heroku, architects at AWS created the Well-Architected Framework to document best practices they observed when running workloads in the cloud.

Originally announced as a whitepaper in October 2015, the Well-Architected Framework got center stage treatment at re:Invent 2016 during Werner Vogels' keynote address. Since then, it has evolved to become an indispensable resource when building and running workloads in AWS.

But the Well-Architected Framework is massive, consisting of 6 core whitepapers that total over 400 pages. It would be easy to dismiss it as just another boring set of documents. But doing so would be a big mistake. There is a lot of gold to be found if you are willing to do some digging.

In this episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris kick off a three-part series where we grab our shovels and dig deep into the Well-Architected Framework and explain how you can best take advantage of this important resource.
