Question

What are your thoughts about Quilt ("docker for data")?

Answer 1

If you ask my thoughts about Quilt then I think Quilt is following the pattern of a long line of solutions that are allowing data professionals in one part of the data science landscape to work in a way they are comfortable with, but do something that traditionally belongs in another role.

Some of the examples of this pattern are as follows:-

• In the field of database analytics and machine learning using R in MS SQL Server. This is for data scientists doing database work in a data science way.

• It is also used in data pipelines and joins in BI tools like Spotfire and Tableau. This is for BI professionals doing database work in a BI way.

• Machine learning on Amazon Web Services. This is for cloud professionals doing data science work in a cloud platform.

If you want to learn Docker then I would suggest you must take up the following Docker training course. You can also watch the following Docker video tutorial to learn more about it.
