IN THE NEWS:
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6 Offers Improved Performance, Scale and Security for High-Performance Linux-based Workloads
On Wednesday, Red Hat announced the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6. This new version of Red Hat's KVM-based virtualization solution offers increased performance, scale, and security for high-intensity Linux workloads. It also updates user experience and management tools to help reduce cost and time of VMware migrations by eliminating the need to purchase a third-party migration tool. Lowering the costs and sprawl of proprietary virtualization solutions is a common customer challenge addressed by Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization... Building on previous releases, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.6 provides the infrastructure layer for customers to move their workloads to containers or the cloud. It also integrates with Red Hat's hybrid cloud management platform, Red Hat CloudForms, to manage heterogeneous environments across multiple clouds, hypervisors, containers, and traditional computing infrastructure.

Red Hat Developer Blog - 10 things to avoid in docker containers
"So you finally surrendered to containers and discovered that they solve a lot of problems and have a lot of advantages... However, many users are still treating containers just like typical virtual machines and forget that containers have an important characteristic: Containers are disposable. This characteristic forces users to change their mindset on how they should handle and manage containers; and I'll explain what you should NOT do to keep extracting the best benefits of containers. [Number 1]: Don't store data in containers – A container can be stopped, destroyed, or replaced. An application version 1.0 running in container should be easily replaced by the version 1.1 without any impact or loss of data. For that reason, if you need to store data, do it in a volume. In this case, you should also take care if two containers write data on the same volume as it could cause corruption. Make sure your applications are designed to write to a shared data store." —Rafael Benevides, senior software engineer, Red Hat
