Re: Speed 1.0

Suyash,

Thanks a lot for the overview. To the extend possible, I'd love to mention
or present Speed in my Monitoring talk at Apache Big Data
http://sched.co/8m2w
Since Docker itself is written in Go, I trust a Go language binding may be
beneficial.

Do you have examples for the PCP metrics that e.g. Nathan talked about in a
Docker-related session: https://youtu.be/M-muu_37c4U Or how Docker may
interact with PCP or benefit from its metrics via Go?

Cheers,
Werner
