Containers: What Every Developer Needs to Know about Docker & More!
ÜberConf
Denver · July 21 - 24, 2015
About this Presentation
Containers have been a feature of the Linux kernel since 2007, and were in use behind the curtain at Google well before then. But developers, for the most part, did not know about or use them. Enter Docker in 2013, and all of a sudden if you're not using containers, you're no longer playing with the cool kids. Is it all hype? Or will you be deploying your applications in containers before you know it? This workshop will arm you with what you need to know and give you hands-on practical experience with container technology.
We'll cover some (or all!) of the following topics:
- Docker 101
- Rocket and the App Container Spec
- Container Scheduling: Lattice, Kubernetes, Marathon
- Container Networking: Weave, SocketPlane
- Container Data Management with BOSH
- Service Discovery
- Containers and Microservices
- Continuous Delivery of Containers
I Enable Early-Career Enterprise Software Engineers to Continuously Improve
My passion is taking a metaphysical approach to software engineering: what is the nature of the collaborative game that we continuously play, and are there better, more contextually-aware ways to play that game?
By day I lead a team tasked with taking a first-principles-centric approach to intentionally enabling programming language usage at the largest bank in the United States.
By night I write and teach my way through a masterclass in software engineering and architecture targeting early-career software engineers working in large-scale enterprise technology organizations.
What is the primary goal?
To win the game. More seriously: to get 1% better every day at providing business value through software.
Who am I?
I'm a 22-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. I've played almost every role I can imagine:
- Software Engineer
- Software Architect
- Technical Lead
- Engineering Manager
- Consultant
- Product Manager
- Field CTO
- Developer Advocate
- Conference Speaker
- Author
- Technical Trainer
- Technical Marketer
- Site Reliability Engineer
- Desktop Support Specialist
I've worked at Fortune 500 companies, a tenacious teal cloud startup, and a not-for-profit children's hospital. I've written a book, and I've hosted a podcast. I've learned a lot along the way, including many things I wish I'd known when I first got started. And so now I want to pass those learnings on to you, especially if you've only just begun your career.
