Talk 2: Containerized Developer Environments with Ray Elenteny, Solutions Architect, SolTech

The onboarding process for developers can be time-consuming and frustrating, particularly when setting up workstations and tools. Organizations often rely on documentation and conversations with peers to help new developers navigate these challenges. Furthermore, switching teams or working on older versions of applications can also lead to conflicts and time-consuming workstation setups. Containerization provides an improved approach to developer onboarding by allowing for the creation of containerized development environments. This approach is more efficient and cost-effective than replicating environments through separate workstations or virtual machines. Additionally, with the use of Docker and Kubernetes, containerized development environments can be deployed on any contemporary infrastructure. The presentation will cover best practices for designing and implementing Docker images for development environments, along with working examples.
