Jun 16, 2015 - 1 minute read - Comments - dockertooltrainingbrown-bag-sessionclient

Today we have done a brown bag session about Docker. One of the team members explained to us the latest news, topics and how tos, including:

  • the difference between a container and an image
  • diffing image contents
  • AUFS (Another Union FS)
  • persistent vs non-persistent (volatile) filesystems
  • running CMD and other commands on the instance
  • problems of running with permission = root (or its group)
  • downsides of it
  • how to compare it with a virtual machine

Disclaimer about AI/GenAI

As of 2026-05-06, the text in these articles and blog entries has been written without AI/GenAI, except I sometimes use a spellchecker to fix errors. Think Word's spellchecker, not ChatGPT.

Notes, as of today (2026-05-06):

  • No code snippet has been automatically generated, nor vibe-coded, nor generated and reviewed.
  • I don’t have any article with AI contribution.

For future entries:

  • I may have used GenAI for the code in the repo. The code I exemplify/copy in the article will always be reviewed and tested, not vibe-coded. I will specify it in each snippet or at the top/bottom of the article.
  • I normally don't use it for the text contents, although if I have used it for the article text, it would be indicated as such.

Any entry before 2026-05-06 does not contain any AI/GenAI.
