Presentations
Daily Development With Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift
For us developers, there has been a lot of change in the infrastructure where our apps will run. New to the mix is running in containers in some type of cloud enabled environment. After some basic concepts around containers and running them in production we go full on ALL DEMO, ALL THE TIME! I am going to show how to accomplish your local fast iteration development but now seamlessly deploy that to a frickin’ awesome run time platform a container platform based off of Kubernetes.
Converging Big Data And Web Applications
For most of my lifetime in the computing world, data crunching and web serving were two very separate worlds. If a web app wanted access to the analysis there was a long process of ETL, DB work, imports and exports, and bribing various network and storage people for the resources you needed. With the rise of containers, orchestration, cheap computing and networking, and over 10 years of people tackling large problems at new scales we have finally come to a convergence.
