6:30pm - 7:30pm Neil Holmes - Provisioning SQL Server Environments Using Containers
Your developers need a copy of the production database, and they need it now! How do you keep up with the shift towards agile development? VMs are a good solution, but we can make environments easier to manage, smaller, and cheaper with containers. In this session I'll explain the different types of containers available for SQL Server, why some options are better than others, and why they're worth considering. You will learn how to use Docker and Windocks containers to turn SQL Server infrastructure into a on-demand service for your developers and testers, letting them create a new instance of SQL Server with a copy of your production data in less than a minute.
7:30pm - 8:00pm Break & Pizza
