AGENDA

6:00 Arrival/ F&B

6:30 Lightning Talk: Automation-driven development with Docker and wercker” by Micha “mies” Hernandez van Leuffen, Founder and CEO of wercker

Wercker (http://wercker.com (http://wercker.com/)) is a Docker-based platform for developing, building and deploying applications for the Modern Cloud. This lightning talkwill showcase how you can leverage wercker and Docker to automate the process of building, testing and deploying decoupled microservices and achieve developer/production parity.

6:40 Lightning Talk: UI @ Docker by Chris Biscardi of Docker

Over the past year, Docker has developed an approach to building UI that applies modern advances such as React, babel, css-modules and PostCSS. This approach allows us to build faster with more continuity across products. This talk explores the choices that were made.

6:50 Complete Visibility into Docker Containers with AppDynamics

AppDynamics provides the business and operational insights into Application performance, user experience and business impact of software applications. It provides visibility into applications and business transactions made out of multiple smaller decoupled (micro) services deployed in a Docker environment using the Docker monitoring solution.

The AppDynamics Docker Monitoring Extension (http://community.appdynamics.com/t5/eXchange-Community-AppDynamics/Docker-Monitoring-Extension/idi-p/14749) monitors and reports on various metrics, such as: total number of containers, running containers, images, CPU usage, memory usage, network traffic, etc. The AppDynamics Docker monitoring extension gathers metrics from the Docker Remote API, either using Unix Socket or TCP giving you the choice for data collection protocol. In this talk Anand will provide an overview AppDynamics monitoring solution for Docker and demonstrate the key features of the solution.

7:20 How Drupal.org Uses Docker by Josh Koenig of Pantheon

Drupal is one of the internet's leading open-source content management systems, and part of its success as a project has been the huge number of contributors, both to the core CMS and in the universe of contributed modules and themes. All this activity means there's a huge need for testing infrastructure.

Currently Drupal is in the midst of replacing their legacy testing infrastructure with a more modern Docker-based CI system. Come learn the specifics of how Docker containers are helping to drive the velocity of one of the web's largest open source projects.

7:50 Using Rancher to build a Private Container Service

Docker’s growing popularity has given rise to a plethora of hosted container services such as Amazon’s ECS and Google’s GKE. And it’s hard not to embrace the idea of providing a self-service vehicle for developers, Test/QA engineers, and SRE’s to spin up and down containerized environments. But many organizations have either a desire or need to host and control a container service on-prem. Rancher Labs is going to talk about private container services—how you can build an enterprise-grade, compliant platform that runs and manages containers across any computing platforms. Specifically:

• What a private container service is

• How to build, rollout, and maintain a private container service on-prem

• How software-defined infrastructure services make container networking and storage seamless, whether containers are deployed locally, to private clouds or to the public cloud.

• How private containers services can be built to meet infosec compliance requirements.

About Docker

Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments.
