Abstract:

Why are containers suddenly the only topic application developers want to talk about, and DevOps practitioners specifically? And how does the container landscape change the rest of a private cloud environment. In this talk, we'll look at where containers came from, and why DevOps practitioners are so excited about this topic and how containers both fit into and perhaps improve the operability of application deployments on OpenStack environments.
