Real-world Docker adoption up five fold in the past year
The adoption of containerization platform Docker has been one of the big infrastructure trends in the past year. But while it's much talked about, what effect is it having in the real world?
Infrastructure tracking specialist Datadog has released the results of a survey, based on the real Docker usage of 7,000 companies, revealing a 5x growth in Docker adoption since September 2014.
Threat Stack launches security monitoring for Docker containers
The popularity of Docker to run software in containers has increased enormously, but it does raise issues surrounding keeping those applications secure.

Docker to host 'Open-source-a-thon' -- proceeds will be used to adopt blue whale
Every summer, I board a charter boat out of Captree State Park in New York to go fishing. Why do I do this? I love to fish and I cannot afford my own boat, so it is a great way to experience the Long Island nautical life for the afternoon (not to mention catch a tasty dinner). It is also a great way to have a technology-free day, leaving the smartphone at home and replacing it with a rod in my hand.
Almost always, however, there is some idiot who does not appreciate nature, that throws his garbage overboard into the waters below. It is depressing to see people not care about the environment. Not to mention, seeing Bud Light cans and food wrappers floating by ruins the picturesque scenery. Today, Docker announces a new 'Open-source-a-thon' where people can learn about both open source and marine life conservation. The best part? Docker will use the proceeds to adopt a blue whale! Any excess proceeds will be given to Oceanic Society to help study and protect our oceans.
