Dockerfile nightmares - Buildpacks are the cure

Hi everyone, summer is definitely coming to an end, so it's time for CNCV to be back up again. Join us to discuss why Dockerfiles are a nightmare for Dev, Sec and Ops and how Buildpacks will ultimately get you back to a sane and safe state at scale.

As always this is the on-premises event. Look at our CNCF page for the stream here: https://community.cncf.io/j/amst4zaryapdq/

Are you carrying the burden of updating countless Dockerfiles on a daily basis? Did you ever experience a brain meltdown when you needed to update thousands of containers at once to fight vulnerabilities like log4j or Heartbleed in OpenSSL?

Buildpacks offer a better path to production.

In this CNCV we will do live demos to go from a simple Dockerfile to Dockerfile-less smart builds with Cloud Native Buildpacks.
