Containers 101 using Dockers and Kubernetes for building scalable Enterprise Apps
Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. In this talk, we will discover how Docker isolate your applications from your infrastructure and treat your infrastructure like a managed application. Docker helps you ship code faster, test faster, deploy faster and shorten the cycle between writing code and running code. We will explore Docker architecture. We will investigate how you can create your image and compose and deploy in Docker hub so others can start using the same environment.
Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual Docker host. Because Docker Swarm serves the standard Docker API, any tool that already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to scale to multiple hosts transparently.
Kubernetes is Google’s answer to an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. In this talk we will discover how to use Kubernetes which is portable: public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud; extensible: modular, pluggable, hookable, composable; self-healing: auto-placement, auto-restart, auto-replication, auto-scaling.

About Rohit Bhardwaj
Rohit Bhardwaj is a Director of AI & Data Architecture at Salesforce, where he focuses on enterprise AI, agentic systems, cloud-native architecture, distributed systems, data platforms, security, and large-scale transformation.
Over his career, Rohit has designed and led complex enterprise platforms across AWS, Google Cloud, microservices, real-time data, API ecosystems, resilient distributed systems, and AI-enabled architectures. His work increasingly focuses on the challenges enterprises face as software evolves from deterministic services to AI-native and agentic systems—particularly around reliability, governance, evidence, security, observability, cost, and safe autonomy.
Rohit is the author of System Design with AI Interview Guide: Designing Scalable, Agentic, and Defensible Systems, published by Apress. The book presents a modern approach to system design covering scalability, distributed systems, AI architecture primitives, security, reliability, economics, agentic systems, and real-world architectures including e-commerce, ride sharing, payments, fraud detection, messaging, video streaming, file storage, and search.
