DEPLOY DOCKER CONTAINERS FAST TO MICROSOFT AZURE
It’s hard to ignore the fact thatDockeris a way to move forward for rapid application development, distributed architectures and microservices.
For developersDockeroffers great advantages as they can build their containers specifically for the task they work on. They grab a base image of a container, modify it for their purpose and prepare the functionality inside the container.
Quality, testing and security teams now have a single instance to look at and ensure all functional and regulatory requirements are met. System engineers now don’t have to worry about providing a system with the required specs as the container is already provisioned for that purpose.
But where do you deploy yourDockercontainers? You can set up your existing bare metal infrastructure to allow them to run containers, but this also means you need to learn about securing your container infrastructure, which is not an easy task. Luckily “the cloud” offers container …

After seeing Sebastian Bergmann’s talk PHP 7: Reality Check I was empowered by his reasoning that it’s not worth putting support in outdated PHP versions and focus on the current and future versions that will make a difference in functionality, performance and security.
For this reason I would like to announce that the European …
