Hello lists, I stumbled onto the first "Read-only root" paper that the guys from Nationwide basically wrote. While on the Redbooks website, I was surprised to be asked if I wanted to chat about it. I said yes, and tried to be respectful. Below is the chat text, which in the Turing Test, I would vote yes, that was a live sapien (perhaps I failed?).
I look back and now reflect - are Containers and Docker the new "read-only root"? Is mainframe playing catch-up 10 years later? Can we somehow lead? Just some questions for thought ...
