Deciphering Glyph :: A Tired Raccoon’s Containerization Manifesto

Death is Coming
Your existing mutable infrastructure is slowly decaying. You already know that one day you’re going to log in and update the wrong package and it’s gonna blow up half of the software running on your box. Some .so is going to go missing, or an inscrutable configuration conflict will make some network port stop listening.

Either that or you’re not going to update religiously, and eventually it’ll get commandeered by cryptocurrency miners. Either way, your application goes down and you do a lot of annoying grunt work to get it back.

These boxes won’t survive forever. You’ve gotta do something.
