Presentation: Rocket and the App Container Spec

Track: Docker / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Effectenbeurszaal

Rocket is a simple daemon-free tool that enables users to run containerized apps on their systems free of host dependencies. Containers running under rocket execute like regular processes and can be managed using existing process management tools like upstart, systemd, runit, and etc.

Rocket is also an implementation of the "App Container Spec" which defines how to define and build containerized applications based on tooling like tar and pgp. And then host these files easily using standard protocols like HTTP. The goal of the spec is to enable independent and creative implementations of container runtimes and build tools.

Both of these projects are open source and part of a young growing community. Come learn how they work and how you can get involved.

Presentation: Docker Predictions Panel

Track: Docker / Time: Friday 15:50 - 16:40 / Location: Effectenbeurszaal

During the Docker Predictions Panel attendees, speakers and the host of the Docker track will try to predict the big announcements at the DockerCon15 in San Francisco. DockerCon15 will take place just days after GOTO Amsterdam.
Last time at DockerCon14 Europe, here in Amsterdam, Docker Inc. announced Swarm, Machine, Compose and Docker Enterprise Hub.
If you think you know where they are heading this year, come and tell the world!

This panel will be facilitated by Mark Coleman who will ensure a memorable and fun experience for all attendees.
