[#SwarmWeek Edition] Docker Weekly #126: March 9, 2016

Welcome to the Docker Weekly, a newsletter with the latest content on Docker and the agenda for the upcoming weeks.

Docker Swarm Exceeds Kubernetes Performance at Scale

We engaged Jeff Nickoloff, an independent technology consultant, to help accurately assess performance across orchestration tools in a unified framework and to make it available to the larger container community for use in their own evaluations. The results were astounding.

Compared to Swarm, Kubernetes took up to 7x longer to list all the running containers as the cluster approached full load - taking over 2 minutes to list out the running containers. Furthermore, Kubernetes had a 98X increase in response time (that’s not a typo it’s 98X not 98%) as the cluster went from 10% to 100% full.

Meet the Docker Swarm maintainers!

Maintainers are a special part of the Docker community, made up of Docker employees and members of the community. They encourage discussion, comment on proposals, respond to issues, review and merge pull requests in their free time – this dedication is what makes open source great, especially Docker.

Docker Swarm's bi-monthly release cadence with new features and improvements is made possible by a group of maintainers, Docker engineers and contributors from all around the world. Read this blog post to meet the maintainers of Docker Swarm.

Submit your talk proposal for DockerCon 2016 by March 18th!

The first DockerCon 2016 speakers were just announced but we're still looking for cool and unique use cases, Docker hack projects, advanced technical talks, and new perspectives on tech culture.

Click here to submit your talk proposal for DockerCon 2016 on how you're using Docker's products!
