Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin
July 10 - 12, 2015
Docker II
Friday - Jul 10 3:15 PM CDT - PECAN
Building and running container images isn’t enough. There are very real problems that we still have to solve:
- how do we schedule and run these containers on infrastructure?
- how do we create networks that can link these containers across multiple hosts?
- how do we handle data that needs to persist across container restarts?
- how do we handle concerns like service discovery and load balancing?
These concerns are the focus of much of the development work being done in the Docker ecosystem today.
We’ll examine the use of several projects and how they contribute to solutions to these problems, including:

I Enable Early-Career Enterprise Software Engineers to Continuously Improve
About Matt Stine
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.
