Presentation: "Docker - A Lot Changed in a Year"

Track: DevOps & Continuous Delivery / Time: Friday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Hall 2

Docker.io provides an elegant means of packaging and deploying application stacks. CohesiveFT selected Docker in the summer of 2013 to go into their VNS3 cloud overlay networking. A lot has changed since, and the super fast evolution and growth of Docker can be largely explained by one thing - they used Docker. This presentation will look at what Docker is and does, and how it's found its way into platforms all over the place. This will include a look at Dockerfile, and the potential it has for tightening DevOps loops. Finally a look at some Docker trip hazards, and how to avoid them, and a Docker wish list - for how it could be even better.
