nostalgia

IRC, NNTP, SMTP, ... all human readable. And disappearing fast.
Imagine my surprise at Redis not having a purely binary protocol!
And so yet again I find myself writing a proxy, a logger, a parser, ...

Azure Container Instances

don't get me wrong, I love #serverless

but ACI makes me giddy

it's the sweet spot between #serverless and all that management overhead inevitable with complex scenarios in the real world of #containers

for a quick test I thought I'd help out the Archive Team (archiveteam.org)
and omg seriously quick (using the console within the Azure Portal):

# az container create -g ATW --name archiveteamwarrior --image archiveteam/warrior-dockerfile --ip-address public --port 8001

and that was it: there is now an Archive Team Warrior container running on Azure, without the need for me to set up a Linux VM, without running any docker commands, etc. Just the above one line and that was it.

PS: when you do this for yourself, there may be a delay in that port being opened.
patience!
and if it doesn't open within 10mins. delete and redeploy. it's a preview!

with virtualization, we traded access to physical hardware for many benefits.
with virtualization we went physicalserverless.

with containers, we traded full access to the OS for many benefits.
with containers we went operatingsystemless.

with Lambda, we traded full control of containers for many benefits.
in AWS, Lambda does use containers (I'm told) but we (mostly) don't care.
in Azure, Functions don't use containers but we (mostly) don't care.

and thus containerless...
