Build your own container technology
Containers are still, to many a little mysterious. “Just think of it like a tiny VM” they say—which is as far from the truth as possible. But we use containers everywhere, and it behooves us to understand what they are and how they work.
This isn't just a thought experiment—container management tools like Kubernetes might attempt to extract away a lot of the tedium of deploying containers at scale from us, but it's still up to us to know how best to allocate and utilize resources. Knowing the guts of containers is the way to do this.
In this hands-on workshop, get ready to dig deep into the inner workings of containers. By the end of this workshop, we'll have created our own container technology that works and behaves just like any container technology you might have used.
