Hi Dojo,
Is there any plan for a Docker DMA Image?
Seems a natural evolution, into cloud or just to "make it easy" for regression tests as example.
several pieces are there already, unattended installation binaries and configuration XML files, docker support for dotnet images, external node support for Cassandra and Elastic and others.
Thanks
Yes, we are currently looking into the uses for docker & kubernetes as a possible extension to our CI-CD pipeline in the cloud, where we we want to spin up secure infrastructure as needed for system testing. We should have some more information about the possibilities later in the year.
We have a few tasks scheduled under the CI/CD Project.
Our first intention will be to focus on Docker Images to run Unit Testing on. This is mostly to make sure code doesn't run on our servers but on isolated environments.
Setting this up should teach us how to setup a good windows docker which is not that simple as it's very dependent on versioning and licensing we already discovered.
The next step will be looking into spinning up a Docker holding a DataMiner for integration tests. We have some of the items already, as you mentioned. A big one is the unattended installer. However one of the main issues will probably be figuring out licensing and getting it started up.
It's an exciting topic, and if we manage it we'll for sure keep you up to date.
