Containers Hello World | Learn How to Build, Containerize and Manage...

| Interactive Workshop
Join The DEN and IBM and learn how you can make the most of the stability Containerized applications provide when moving across different computing environments!

If you have heard about software containers (or Docker), but are not sure what containers are or what containers are for, join us for a hands-on “Hello World” workshop for containers!

| In this workshop developers will:

• Learn about container fundamentals
• Build and run a sample web application
• Containerize your application
• Manage the containerized application

This is a “Hello World”-style, hands-on workshop where you will learn from the beginning how to build, deploy and manage a container-based application so make sure to bring your laptop and complete the software requirements below.

| Software requirements:

1. Please register (https://ibm.biz/BdZwxp) for an IBM Cloud account (it's free)
2. Once you register, click on Catalog (top right menu)
3. Remove the label:lite filter
4. From the left-hand side menu, click on Containers
5. Click on IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service
6. In order to create a cluster click Upgrade and enter your billing information. Here is why you need to upgrade your account:
   -- Entering a credit card will activate a Lite (free) tier for Containers
   -- Your credit card will not be charged
   -- A credit card is needed to prevent fraud (such as using the cluster to do cryptocurrency mining)
   -- You will also get 512 Mb of memory
   -- $200 credit toward any paid services
   -- Continued access to the Lite plan
7. Once your account is upgraded, select Free (Cluster type) and click Create Cluster
8. The last step is to test your Docker installation (do this over WiFi)
   -- Download or update Docker https://www.docker.com/community-edition
   -- Run the following command to test the installation: $docker run ubuntu echo Hello World
   -- You should see Hello World text displayed in the terminal (after some initial downloads of Ubuntu images)

Please arrive early! Event begins promptly at the start time.
