Docker + Cloud Foundry and DevOps for the Database

We have a very exciting joint meetup with DevOps Toronto there will be two presentations:

• Bridget Kromhout presenting Docker + CloudFoundry

• Chris Maley presenting on DevOps for the database

Presentation abstracts and speaker bios below. Pizza and Drinks will be provided.

Talk 2: Sometimes you feel like a docker... and sometimes you don't.

Docker docker docker. Now that I've got your attention, let's demystify containers by talking about how they fit into the wider ecosystem discussion. The conversation is moving from talking about containers as a goal to orchestrating and managing containerized applications. I'll show how you can use containers (including Docker images) on the open source Cloud Foundry platform, to illustrate a path towards operational maturity.

Bridget Kromhout is a Principal Technologist for Cloud Foundry at Pivotal and has years of experience in site reliability operations (most recently at DramaFever). She podcasts at Arrested DevOps, occasionally blogs at bridgetkromhout.com, and is active in a Twitterverse near you.

Talk 1: DevOps for the database: Building an automated database deployment pipeline.

More and more companies are recognizing that agile practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery are as applicable to databases as they are to applications. Implemented correctly, they reduce risk, improve efficiency, and deliver value to customers sooner. Quite simply, they enable organizations to proactively manage the processes involved in the application and database lifecycle, including planning, development, release, and maintenance.

Learn how to automated database lifecycle using source control, continuous integration and release management. We will talk about the challenges and benefits of automating DLM vs ALM. Understand the tools and processes required to automate your release pipeline. Learn what changes your organization needs to make to support process automation. Why do theses changes have to be made?
