Cast Out the Daemon with Buildah

Details:
Join us for our Colorado Red Hat User Group - Denver on June 5 at The Innovation Pavilion (http://www.innovationpavilion.com/) from 5:30-8:00 PM. This is the new format to be co-hosted with the Denver Open Source Users Group (https://www.meetup.com/DOSUG1/).

Would you like to have an alternative to Docker for building container images? In the last couple of years there have been major innovations in Linux container technologies. The Open Container Initiative (OCI) has been a catalyst for many of these innovations. The Buildah project builds on the underlying OCI standard for container images. Building on the open source containers/image and containers/storage projects, Buildah provides a simple CLI for building OCI compliant images and it does not require Docker (including the Docker daemon). This is important for many reasons. In this session you will learn how Buildah can help simplify your container build pipeline. Buildah can build from existing container images, from existing Dockerfiles, or simply from scratch. This session includes a demonstration of how you can successfully use Buildah.

Join us as William Henry from the Red Hat will be discussing the use cases for Buildah for those not currently using containers or looking into using containers in their environment along with a demo. It was a fan favorite at the KubeCon booth.

Bring your questions and appetite for this special event with our Buildah expert, food and drinks..
