Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff

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.

This session is broken into 2 parts. The 1st part is focus on the different options and approaches for running docker in a production environment. This includes running docker from statically partitioned nodes managed by puppet or chef.. to running Kubernetes and DC/OS in a more modern Datacenter.

The 2nd part is focused on lessons learned from running docker including:

  • upgrading docker
  • upgrading services
  • logging and debugging
  • most common failure modes
