Workshop

Containers for Beginners

Containers are the hot new thing, the technology that really brought the DevOps movement to the next level. Every other week a new tool comes out that claims to make containers easier to use, but information and good advice is often hard to come by. Our aim is to give the attendees the knowledge needed to move applications into the cloud and containers.

Part 1: What is Docker?

        – How do containers work?

        – Why use containers and how do they compare to other tools?

Part 2: Building your first container

                – Running an application in a container

 – Reproducible installations using Dockerfile

 – Containerizing your first service

                – How do layers work?

Part 3: Sharing your containers

                – Using a Container Registry to share built container images

                – Using a Continuous Integration to build containers automatically from git

Part 4: Getting containers into productions

                – Running multiple services with Docker

                – Using Docker-compose

                – Using a container orchestrator

This workshop aims to teach you how to use containers from the ground up, from setting up your very first Docker container to getting containers production ready.

This workshop is targeted at developers and systems engineers who are new to containers, but have some experience in writing Linux shell scripts.
