Jamie Dobson - CEO at Container Solutions - How Can You Have a Microservice Strategy When You Don't Know What a Strategy Is?
The word ‘strategy’ has been abused so much that it no longer has meaning or utility.

In this talk, we’ll first reclaim the word ‘strategy’ in order to make it useful again. We’ll then look at examples of bad strategy and the reasons they come about. We’ll critique some examples of technical strategy before building up a workable, logical strategy for introducing microservices to a team or organisation.

The cornerstone of this strategy will be the Cisco Microservices’ Infrastructure Project (https://github.com/CiscoCloud/microservices-infrastructure), a hugely imaginative framework that allows for the rapid and proper continuous deployment of services to clouds and clusters. In addition to the tool, we'll look at patterns of adoption, including proximate goals and how to achieve them.

Chris Wards - Developer Advocate at crate.io - Crate and Docker: Scale Your Database like Your Application

Crate is a distributed database that allows you to create a flexible and scalable backend suited to a wide variety of purposes. By deploying and managing your Crate Cluster using Docker, you benefit from simple scalable capacity, resilience and portability, no matter how complex or large your application becomes.

In this presentation we will discuss how Crate is built and works and why Crate is a perfect partner for Docker, including:

• The benefits of Crate's shared-nothing architecture
• Data Persistency
• Mounting Volumes
• Working with Docker tools such as Compose, Machine and Swarm

As well as sample applications and any questions you might have.

Bart Smith - Solution Architect - Kernel security and Docker

On what premises have "secure" operating systems like Qubes (Joanna Rutkowska) and Mirage OS (Peter Sewell, Cambridge) been build? What can we learn from them?

What have Joyent and Microsoft announced for Docker and how do they try to make Docker more secure?

How does virtualization on ARM differs from x86 and would ARM virtualization be a future route for Docker?
