🎉🔴 Special live show: DevPod for container dev env

Did you miss it? Tuesday this week, Loft Labs launched DevPod on my show. It's like GitHub Codespaces but fully open source and runnable on most Clouds or local Docker. It makes dev environment containers for you, and it also creates the infrastructure to run it on (including sleeping when not in use). It works with local Docker instances and clouds like AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Civo, and more. The project is compatible with Microsoft's DevContainer standard, which means it works with VS Code, JetBrains, and more. I dig it.

Ep 131: Docker's 2023 New Stuff

We're releasing a podcast this week where we are joined by two engineers in Docker's leadership: Chief Technology Officer Justin Cormack and Senior Manager of Developer Relations Michael Irwin, to talk about recent Docker Hub changes, as well as their latest product releases.

We touch on Docker's latest updates and announcements, focusing on the early releases of Docker Scout, Docker plus WebAssembly, and the Telepresence extension for Docker Desktop.

👨‍💻 What I'm working on

For the next few weeks, I'm working on Docker Mastery new content! Stay tuned.
