ChatGPT is great at answering questions and generating code. But here’s what it can’t do: execute that code, query your actual database, create a GitHub repo with your project, or scrape live data from websites. It’s like having a brilliant advisor who can only talk, never act. Docker MCP Toolkit changes this completely. Here’s what that looks like in practice: You ask ChatGPT to check MacBook Air prices across Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. If competitor prices are lower than yours, it doesn’t just tell you, it acts: automatically adjusting your Stripe product price to stay competitive, logging the repricing…
Modern cloud outages are increasingly caused by automation, configuration errors, and hidden design limits. Learn how to build resilience.
Insider threats have always been difficult to manage because they blur the line between trusted access and risky behavior. With generative AI, these risks aren’t tied to malicious insiders misusing credentials or bypassing controls; they come from well-intentioned employees simply trying to get work done faster. Whether it’s developers refactoring code, analysts summarizing long reports, or marketers drafting campaigns, the underlying motivation is almost always productivity and efficiency. Unfortunately, that’s precisely what makes this risk so difficult to manage. Employees don’t see themselves as creating security problems; they’re solving bottlenecks. Security is an afterthought at best. This gap in perception…
Azul this week acquired Payara, a provider of a Java-based application server and microservices framework that extends the scope of the company’s portfolio beyond Java runtimes. The two companies were previously allied in 2018 when Payara embedded the Azul Platform Core into Payara Server Enterprise. In addition, both companies have a long history of contributing […]
Docker Joins the Agentic AI Foundation Today, the Linux Foundation launched the Agentic AI Foundation with three founding projects: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s goose agent framework, and OpenAI’s AGENTS.md standard. The foundation brings together the companies building the infrastructure layer for agents: Anthropic, Block, OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, and Bloomberg, alongside key tooling and platform companies. Docker is…
As cloud-native architectures scale and regulatory pressure intensifies, organizations are finally recognizing that their logging pipelines contain sensitive. Logs fuel observability, debugging, compliance investigations, and incident response, yet they also remain one of the least governed data streams in the enterprise. Despite years of progress in DevSecOps, true privacy-safe logging, logs that remain operationally useful […]
Modern Linux development has moved beyond the traditional approach of installing everything directly on your system. You now have access to tools that help you create isolated development environments without dealing with the overhead of full virtual machines or the complexity of manual container management. This is where Fedora Toolbx comes into the picture – a tool that makes it simple to spin up containerized development environments while keeping the experience as seamless as working directly on your host system. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up and use Fedora Toolbx to create development environments that are isolated,…
The landscape of AI development is rapidly evolving, and one of the most exciting developments in 2025 from Docker is the release of Docker cagent. cagent is Docker’s open-source multi-agent runtime that orchestrates AI agents through declarative YAML configuration. Rather than managing Python environments, SDK versions, and orchestration logic, developers define agent behavior in a single configuration file and execute it with “cagent run”.In this article, we’ll explore how cagent’s integration with GitHub Models delivers true vendor independence, demonstrate building a real-world podcast generation agent that leverages multiple specialized sub-agents, and show you how to package and distribute your AI…
If you’re looking to get started with Docker, understanding how to work with its command-line interface is crucial for managing your containers and images effectively. Docker has become the go-to solution for containerizing applications, and this guide takes you through the essential commands you need to know to control your Docker environment. Getting Started with Docker Commands Before diving into specific commands, it’s important to understand that Docker commands follow a simple structure and most commands start with docker followed by the action you want to perform and any additional options or arguments. The first commands you should familiarize yourself…
