A normal file copy would copy the entire file, even if a few bytes have changed. DeltaCopy , on the other hand, would only copy the part of the file that has actually been modified. This reduces the data transfer to just a small fraction of 500 MB saving time and network bandwidth. In technical terms, DeltaCopy is a "Windows Friendly" wrapper around the Rsync program, currently maintained by Wayne Davison. "rsync" is primarily designed for Unix/Linux/BSD systems. Although ports are available for Windows, they typically require downloading Cygwin libraries and manual configuration.

Every developer and the dev-ops engineer would thus benefit by learning Kubernetes nuts and bolts. In fact, this is what we are going to do in this article. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes (K8s) is one of the most stimulating developments in the Dev-Ops world today. The aim is to produce powerful containers behind its immediate reputation. Kubernetes is a basic framework at which container applications can be operated and arranged on a group of machines.
