Docker, was Containers was Watson interface

Continuing on the thread of containers, here's a little video tutorial on Docker from O'Reilly; the first three chapters are free and might give all some insights to what everyone is talking about with "Containers:" http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035732.do On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 2:21 AM

Hi Kurt, I think a project like Watson can truly have HUGE Potential. I will have to read thru the rest of the Thread. But, I did see you started a new thread - since communication w/Watson required usage of Containers technology. Will definitely have to finish reading both threads - as I am Defi

Hey there Bill! When I first saw the Title of this Email thread show up in my Inbox - I was curious as to what it was about. But, before opening the e-mail, I realized it was probably about the IBM project - which was featured on Jeopardy. My Mom is a Huge fan of that game show - and, needless

Christof, It seems this should have some bearing on Mike's interest. --- I'm not sure... This article talks about running Windows Server applications as a container. It'll help to deploy server based Windows applications on Windows Server 2014 R2/2016 and onward. There is no mention

Re: Watson interface

Exactly! Thanks Ted...I've been reading about containers so long now my eyes are getting crossed. It looks GREAT for a Linux solution, something like Apache or a LAMP solution. Once again, this is making me feel old. :( Mike Ted Roche wrote: On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 1:23 PM, Mike Copeland

RE: Watson interface

Mike, My question is whether containers can be of use for my situation. --- Looks like it. Just took a quick look at https://www.centos.org/ and there's a notice there saying that mages for docker are now available. Looks like transiting to containers will be a natural progress
