Bret is joined by DockerSlim (now mintoolkit) founder Kyle Quest, to show off how to slim down your existing images with various options.
The slimming down includes distroless images like Chainguard Images and Nix. We also look at using the new "mint debug" feature to exec into existing images and containers on Kubernetes, Docker, Podman, and containerd. Kyle joined us for a two-hour livestream to discuss mint’s evolution.

Bret is joined by Neil Cresswell, CEO and co-founder of Portainer, to show us new features in Portainer and how it can manage, deploy, and orchestrate all your container workloads from a single Docker Engine, all the way to multi-cluster and IoT Kubernetes deployments.

Portainer is much more comprehensive than you might think. Docker on the Edge, Podman, Kubernetes, in the cloud, in hybrid, you name it; it seems that Portainer supports it. In the show, we also get some updates on new things that have happened in the last couple of years, including adding GitOps support to Portainer, the ability to deploy Kubernetes nodes, and infrastructure.

Be sure to check out the live recording of the complete show with demos from February 29, 2024 on YouTube (Ep. 256).
