• Apple Announces Thinner, Lighter iPad Air With 64-Bit A7 Processor – Mac Rumors

With the A7 chip, the iPad Air offers twice the CPU and graphics performance of the previous iPad. The 64-bit architecture supports Open GL ES version 3.0, for \”game console-like visual effects.\”

• The real reasons Apple\’s 64-bit A7 chip makes sense | Mobile – CNET News

A nearer-term reason the Apple A7 might appeal to programmers has nothing to do with its 64-bit nature: the ARMv8 architecture itself brings some real advantages.

One of them is a larger number of registers — tiny on-chip storage areas where the processor stores data for very fast access. ARMv8 roughly doubles general-purpose registers from 16 to 31, which means the chip needn\’t fritter away as many cycles swapping things into and out of memory.

• About Docker – Docker: the Linux container engine

Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable,
self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere.

Docker containers can encapsulate any payload, and will run consistently on and between virtually any server. The same
container that a developer builds and tests on a laptop will run at scale, in production*, on VMs,
bare-metal servers, OpenStack clusters, public instances, or combinations of the above.
