Docker London - 20th July 2016

We have a great evening planned for July with some excellent speakers.

The venue is confirmed, we will be at the amazing Skills Matter again.

Registration is now open; please visit https://skillsmatter.com/meetups/8298-docker-london-meetup so your name is at the door. Without pre-registration, it makes the evening more painful and delays us getting started.

It also helps Skills Matter understand their health/safety limit for the night and how many drinks they need in the fridge, so it is in everyone's interest.

Agenda:

18:00: Drinks, food & chit chat

18:30: Deploying our microservices reference application on Docker for Mac, Swarm and ECS. Luke Marsden, Weave

In this talk, we'll show off our sample reference microservices app, a socks shop! We'll look at how we developed it and why, and then deploy it to three different container orchestration frameworks, and then use Weave Scope to find out what it's doing!

19:00: The Dockerfile explosion and the need for higher level tools. Gareth Rushgrove, Puppet Labs

Dockerfiles are great. They provide a zero-barrier-to-entry format for describing a single Docker image which is immediately clear to anyone reading them. But with that simplicity comes problems that become apparent as your adoption of Docker gathers pace. This talk will:

• Discuss the triggers for when managing Dockerfiles adhoc becomes a problem, including the passing of time and scaling teams and organisations usage of Docker* Talk about some of the strategies for managing Dockerfile sprawl* Show multiple examples from the Docker community of attempts to abstract away from Dockerfile, and why that might not always be the best approach* Speculate wildly and show experiments which look to address some of the issues discussed

This talk won’t provide a clear solution, but will hopefully make a good case for the problem being real, and provide a good overview of existing options and avenues for further hacking.

19:45: Container Security. Phil Estes, Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM Cloud Open Technologies

Security has long been a hot discussion topic when modern Linux containers are compared to other isolation technologies such as virtual machines. Recently on DockerCon's keynote stage an extremely large enterprise, ADP, who manage highly sensitive personal information for millions of clients, made the bold claim that they came to containers because of, not in spite of, security requirements. In this talk, Phil will walk through the core security capabilities available today in Docker and other container runtimes, and how those capabilities have improved for both pure container isolation, but also improvements and capabilities that touch across the whole lifecycle of a container workflow. Phil will demonstrate recent additions to the Docker engine in 2016 such as user namespaces and seccomp and how they continue to enable better container security and isolation.

20:15: Wrap up

Approximately 20:16: Pub! Red Lion over the road from Skills Matter
