Virtual Machines and Containers are awesome, but when should you use one versus the other? In this episode, Jay and Talk about some of the deciding factors when it comes to deciding which technology to use.

Getting started with LXD Containerization
LXD is a next generation container manager that provides additional features that are similar to virtual machines, such as snapshots, storage pools, and more. Using Linux containers (LXC) as the container type, LXD gives you the best of two worlds. In this video, I’ll go over the basics of LXD. You’ll learn how to set it up and launch containers. For this particular video, we’ll focus on LXC commands – but a follow-up that dives more into LXD’s more advanced features is a possibility if there’s enough interest.
Docker Essentials 6 – Accessing Containerized Apps
Welcome to my Docker Essentials series, which teaches you the basics you’ll need to know in order to get started with Docker. In this video, we take a look at how to access the application that’s running inside a container by forwarding ports.
Docker Essentials 5 – Making Containers Persist
Welcome to my Docker Essentials series, which teaches you the basics you’ll need to know in order to get started with Docker. In this video, we’ll look at ways we can make containers persist.
Docker Essentials 4 – Running Containers
Welcome to my Docker Essentials series, which teaches you the basics you’ll need to know in order to get started with Docker. In this video, we look at the process of running containers on our host.
Running Containers in the cloud with the Linode Kubernetes Engine
Kubernetes is a very powerful platform to scale your applications, as the lower resource usage of containers can give you greater efficiency. The Linode Kubernetes Engine allows you to easily deploy containers in the cloud, eliminating the need for you to maintain your own hardware for your Kubernetes stack. In this video, we’ll explore the Linode Kubernetes Engine, and walk through an example of not only deploying a pod, but also setting up persistent storage as well.
