Containers

To know about container importance,we need to know about virtual machine.

Virtual Machine :
        Virtual machine help us to run other operating system in host operating system.

 Uses of Virtual machine
  • Malware Analysis - Without infecting the host machine we can able to analysis how the malware in virtual machine
  • Huge software project require lot of dependency and lot of configuration. so they bundle everything in a container and transfer through virtual machine
  • In serving different server ( hosting company )
  • Virtual lab - For learning
what's wrong with virtual machine?
  • Virtual machine is awesome but it take more resource which cannot afford by more people. 
  •  Not good as host machine when accessing hardware ( In Mac you cannot able to access wifi from virtual machine)

Containers?
  • Container provide operating system level virtualization there by we can able to run multiple isolated environment in same host system.
  • It provides a virtual environment that has its own CPU, memory, block I/O, network.
Building blocks of containers
  • Namespaces - provides isolation
  • cgroups - access the limits of the cpu,memory,network.
  • copy-on-write storage - duplicate the data of modifiable resources
The container can be build from the above three things and chroot ( change root ) gives as the ability to switch to other environment (From one system control to other system control). To create a container you need container engine which perform the necessary steps for you and gives you a isolated environment

Container Engines
  • Docker
  • runC
  • LXC - Linux containers
  • rkt - rocket container
  • systemd-nspawn
  • OpenVZ
  • Jails/Zones
Using one of the above technology we can able to deploy a container.
Container helps many developers to deploy and transfer their configuration easily across the world.

Anything else
    Yes there is,Kubernetes
  • Helps in managing containers 
  • Kubernetes facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. 
  • It has a large, rapidly growing ecosystem. 
  • Kubernetes services, support, and tools are widely available.

My experience in iOS Hackathon

This is my second hackathon, my first hackathon was on machine learning if you want to check out that article by following the below link https://thangaayyanar.blogspot.com/2018/02/what-i-learned-from-machine-learning.html So let's get started First let us discuss about the idea of what we are trying to achieve in this hackathon. From the above image you can able to know that we are going to recognize text from the image and use it to do find which field it is.  we separated this idea into three modules Identify the region Recognize the text  Field classification Module I : Identify the region To identify the selected region we used Vision framework ( ML framework provided by apple to detect the object ). The vision framework give us the boundary of the text region ( i.e frame - x,y,width,height ).  Then using the above region we crop the selected region and pass it to the next module. Module II : Recognize the text To recognize the text we ...

Vim - Text Editor which last for Decade

what's Vim?     Vim is a highly configurable text editor for efficiently creating and changing any kind of text. It is included as "vi" with most UNIX systems and with Apple OS X                                                                                                            ---> From Vim.org  when i first heard it, what a command line editor which is awesome and i said to myself  NO WAY, there are tons of editor which looks good and easy learn curve such as Atom,Sublime,VSCode and bunch others What makes vim special than other editors?  Different from everything you have used before ( because it has modes - insert mode,visual mode,Command mode ) Forget the mouse ( why?...

Demystify - Linux GUI

GUI In Linux GUI ( Graphics User Interface ) as everyone know about.  I am writing this article so that we can able to understand how to run GUI apps in containers but we need to understand how it works in linux. Why linux?   Most of the container we use are Linux based inorder run GUI in Linux we need know how it works.. Back in early days computer fill the entire room and if you want to access it you will be presented TTY (TeleType Machine) you can still see this screen if you press CTRL + ALT + F1 in Linux. ( To get back to GUI press CTRL + ALT + F7 ) Linux spin off 8 TTY when it boots ( we can configure more or less ) Graphics in linux is handled by bunch of little programs. They are Display manager Display manger which is the key component for graphics in which mainly graphics servers lie in linux the X.org is the defacto of Display manger. which has two components X Server  X Client Here little twist server talks to the client ( o...
