Ray Tsang Presents: Docker Tips and Tricks for Java Developers

Abstract

It’s been only a short 2 years - and it seems like just about everyone may know how to build a Docker container now. However, the newly built container image may not be the most optimal or secure. To build the ultimate container image takes many best practices, for example: - Don’t use a root user - Repeatable builds takes discipline to pin versions - Your immutable image isn’t as immutable when it’s running! - Certain actions may double your container size! - Fat Jars may not be container image friendly - The differences between the popular Maven Docker plugins - How to tag your images with the plugin and store metadata in the container itself - Why did your disk run out of space?

Join this session to learn how to best address these issues when building your Java container images.
