With the release of Docker Compose v2.36.0, we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature: provider services. This extension point opens up Docker Compose to interact not only with containers but also with any kind of external system, all while keeping the familiar Compose file at the center of the workflow. In this blog post, we’ll walk through what provider services are, how developers can use them to streamline their workflows, how the provider system works behind the scenes, and how you can build your own provider to extend Compose for your platform needs. Why Provider Services Are a Game-Changer…

I needed to run a PowerShell cmdlet in an Azure Devops pipeline. The cmdlet in question was New-AzRoleAssignment, but the cmdlet itself isn’t important. What is important is that I needed to pass the object ID of a service principal to the command. Even though I was pretty sure the syntax and everything was correct, I got a “Operation returned an invalid status code ‘BadRequest’” error when the PowerShell was run (inside an Azure PowerShell task):To test the script, I opened an Azure CLI in the Azure Portal and ran the same script over there. I got the same error,…
APIs power everything beyond just carrying data, from allowing higher-order software applications and improving customer experiences to engineering efforts and internal operations. But beneath this surface of innovation lies a growing, often unacknowledged challenge—API sprawl.This phenomenon describes an ever-expanding collection of APIs that outpaces an organization’s ability to effectively track, manage, and secure them, leading to a tangled digital infrastructure where visibility is lost and control becomes elusive.At the heart of API sprawl are shadow APIs and zombie APIs. Shadow APIs operate completely off the radar, often undocumented and unknown to security teams, meaning no security reviews or vetting ever…

Docker Hub has become an essential resource for developers worldwide, serving 11 billion monthly image downloads and hosting over 14 million container images. As agentic AI proliferates, we’re seeing a significant shift in how developers work. More and more developers are leveraging MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to power their AI agents and automated workflows. These agentic systems can connect to real data and provide intelligent recommendations, but they need access to comprehensive, structured information to be truly effective. Recognizing this shift, we’re adapting to meet developers where they are. Today, we’re excited to introduce the Docker Hub MCP Server,…
