Nice summary of tools. For the configuration management block I would recommend to check out Pulumi as an alternative to Terraform.

It's main difference is, that you describe your infrastructure in a programming language like Typescript, Python, C#, Java, or Go instead of a DSL.

I found this to be very helpful for developers entering the infrastructure world, as they can stick to their well known environment and workflows.

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll definitely check out Pulumi as an alternative to Terraform. It sounds like a great option, especially for developers who are already familiar with programming languages like Typescript, Python, C#, Java, or Go. I appreciate your input and insights!

Hey,
Thanks for the summary.
Great list.
As the license of docker was changed maybe podman is also worth to mention?

Frank Osasere Idugboe • Mar 16 '23

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the summary helpful.

And thank you for bringing up the change in Docker's license. You make a great point about considering alternative containerization tools like Podman, especially for those who are concerned about the license change. Podman is definitely worth mentioning as an alternative to Docker, and it has some unique features that may be of interest to those looking for a Docker alternative.

Have you had any experience using Podman? I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

Hey Frank,
I haven't used Podman yet, but it's on my to-do list. :)

However, some things I believe are worth mentioning:

Podman doesn't use a daemon, which makes managing it simpler and more secure.
The CLI interface is similar to Docker's, so it should be easy to replace Docker with Podman.
It's also important to note that Kubernetes stopped supporting Docker. I'm not sure which version it was. They now prefer OCI-compliant container runtimes. Podman supports the OCI standard (Open Container Interface). This means it will work well with tools that require OCI compatibility.

I think this makes Podman a good alternative for people who are looking for a replacement for Docker, especially if they are concerned about the recent Docker license change.

As soon as I have more experience with Podman, I'll come back. ;)

Thanks for the info! That's good to know about Podman's simplicity and security. And it's great to hear that it's OCI-compliant, so it should work well with Kubernetes. Looking forward to hearing about your experience with it.
I will try my hands on it and come up with an article on the differences between Docker and Podman soonest.
