Hi Dockers,

Thank you for your patience! We are ready with the agenda of the upcoming Docker meetup which takes place on Nov. 30th, at 18:30. It will be colocated with the 7th CloudFoundry UG meetup (https://www.meetup.com/CloudFoundry-User-Group-DACH/events/226679226/), with two talks on Docker.

Catering will be provided after the talks by the kinds folks at Pivotal.

The agenda is,

18:30 - 18:40 > Welcome
18:40 - 19:00 > How Swisscom uses Docker & Flocker to deliver stateful services by Dominik Suter, Swisscom

19:00 - 19:20 > CF experience in the field by Patrick Nagel, Pivotal
19:20 - 19:40 > Docker-record — A Semi-Automated Approach from Container Setup to Dockerfile by Jürgen Cito, Uni. of Zürich

Abstracts:

1. How Swisscom uses Docker & Flocker to deliver stateful services by Dominik Suter, Swisscom

2. CF experience in the field by Patrik Nagel from Pivotal
   The adoption of open PaaS solutions and new application architectures with microservices are ramping up quickly across industries. I would like to share my experience with Cloud Foundry outside of lab environments. Implementing a PaaS in an enterprise to leverage its values also implies change and different concepts. Let's talk about challenges from application architectures to operations aspects and where Docker meets Cloud Foundry.

3. Docker-record — A Semi-Automated Approach from Container Setup to Dockerfile by Jürgen Cito, Uni. of Zürich.

Getting your infrastructure to work properly in your Docker container is an iterative process that involves inital setup, tuning of configuration parameters, and eventual (infrastructure) testing in a trial and error fashion. Translating all the changes made to a container into a Dockerfile to allow for reproducible and transparent infrastructure is often a painful process. With docker-record we want to address this issue and provide a semi-automated approach that takes us from getting our infrastructure up and running in our container to the reproducible and transparent definition of infastructure in a Dockerfile.

We plan to have another meetup within 2 months to keep the community going faster.

Please message us with a short talk abstract if you're interested in participating in the Docker CH meetups!

Looking forward to see you there!
