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?

The Twelve-Factor App methodology was created by developers at Heroku after their involvement with the development, operation, and scaling of hundreds of thousands of apps on the Heroku platform. They noticed that successful apps shared a core set of common principles. First published in 2012, the Twelve-Factor App attempts to distill that knowledge into 12 factors of best practices.

But the Twelve-Factor App is now over 7 years old (which is several lifetimes in the technology world!)... is it still applicable to today's modern cloud-native applications?

In this episode of Mobycast, Jon and Chris go through the 12 factors, explaining each one in detail and debating its relevance to today's cloud-native applications.
