Ease the Agony of Operationalizing Your Containerized Apps in the Cloud

While containers are becoming increasingly practical in application development environments, operating a container-based environment is a challenge most organizations are not prepared to tackle. Much of the container and orchestrator work is focused around the needs of developers, while the knowledge and tools needed to operationalize are still evolving. Considerations need to be made across a broad range of areas including, but not limited to, continuous-delivery processes, capacity planning, monitoring, and security. With more organizations planning to use containers in production environments, the questions around operationalizing containers have become more urgent. Join us in this session to go beyond adopting containers as a new tool in your development journey and learn how to successfully operate them effectively in the cloud.
