CTL 007 - What is Docker PaaS with Flynn.io Founder, Jonathan Rudenberg - a podcast by CenturyLink Labs

Flynn.io is one of the most popular and powerful open source Docker PaaS solutions around. This week we talk to one of the creators of Flynn, Jonathan Rudenberg. Jonathan is a super smart guy who used to work at Shopify and has brings his experience with large distributed systems into Flynn.

Flynn believes that ops should be a product team, not consultants. Flynn is the single platform that ops can provide to developers to power production, testing, and development, freeing developers to focus.

CenturyLink has sponsored the Flynn project and I am thrilled to have Jonatahan on the podcast this week. Here are some of the questions we ask:

* Tell us about Flynn and who should use it?

* Why not just run your own Docker?

* How is Flynn different from traditional PaaS like Heroku or Cloud Foundry?

* How is Flynn different from other Docker PaaS like Deis or Dokku?

* How is Flynn different from CoreOS?

* How easy is it to get Flynn setup?

* How does Flynn handle database services?

* How does Flynn manage inter-container networking communication?

* How does Flynn manage the disk volumes and filesystem management?

* Does Flynn interact well with CI/CD like Shippable and Drone?

* What isn’t good about Flynn yet?

* Can you explain pinkerton to our audience?

* What does the future of Linux Containers look like?

* What’s next for Flynn? Hosted Flynn?
