Docker's healthcheck defaults make a ready container wait almost half a minute

Docker's healthcheck defaults probe every 30 seconds with no start period, so a container ready at second 2 can wait almost half a minute to turn healthy. Setting start_period and start_interval yourself shortens rollouts, as long as a proxy or Compose acts on the health status.

Microsoft puts a Linux container runtime on Windows laptops with an Intune off switch

Microsoft made WSL Containers generally available with a wslc.exe CLI, an app-facing API, and Intune settings to disable it or allow-list registries. Through that API any native Windows app can start a Linux container, so policy has to cover software launches as well as developers at a prompt.

Registry logs show Compose v5.5.1 ignoring pull_policy windows on explicit pulls

Docker Compose v5.5.1 hit the registry on all three explicit pulls in a developer's test, though its v5.5.0 changelog says pull now honors refresh windows. For CI pipelines built around an explicit pull step, the upgrade bought no fewer registry calls in that test.

LLM-dependent agents flipped HivePlane's certification verdicts between runs

Debashish Ghosal got HivePlane's agent certification to repeat across three runs by swapping in deterministic agents and a mocked judge. The stable verdict covers the control plane's plumbing, and whether an LLM-driven agent answers correctly is now outside the certificate.

Healthchecks turns the missing backup ping into the alarm

Self-hosted Healthchecks v4.4 expects every cron job to check in after a successful run, and it alerts when the ping is late by more than the grace time. Getting the container up takes three settings the guides get wrong.
