Introduction to Container Orchestration

There are lots of questions on how to get Docker applications into a production environment. This is the session to discussion the options along with pros and cons.

Docker in Production

There is no question that Docker has the attention of the majority of developers. It is clearly easy and better to isolate applications and their dependencies in the docker image and container runtime. Less easy and obvious is how to manage these container in a production environment. This session will be lead by a speaker that has been running docker in production since pre-1.0 days and works with dozens of companies that do the same.

Kubernetes Deep Dive

In the container orchestration space, one of the top contenders is Kubernetes (K8S). This session will go into detail of each component in Kubernetes along with how to use it. Anyone attending this session should be able to easy get stated with K8S and have an understanding of what they would need to do to their application to enable it to be K8S friendly.

Spock is a groovy based testing framework that leverages all the “best practices” of the last several years taking advantage of many of the development experience of the industry. So combine Junit, BDD, RSpec, Groovy and Vulcans… and you get Spock!

There are 3 tools I use on every Java project I control… this is one of them and with good reason.
