On-Demand Build Environments with Docker "Inception"
Gradle Summit
Palo Alto · June 22 - 23, 2017
About this Presentation
With Docker, developers can build applications that run consistently across environments and eliminate complex setup steps. However, containerizing an application may not be an option for every application or enterprise. Even if the application cannot be run in a container, developers can still benefit from a consistent and isolated build environment that is lighter than a virtual machine. In this session, you will learn how any Gradle build can create an on-demand container to inject itself into and run without any modifications to the original build.
