Docker-Chicago with Ken Sipe

Join us for the August Docker-Chicago meetup at Braintree (https://www.braintreepayments.com/)!

We'll be welcoming Ken Sipe who will take us through a look at the anatomy of a container including control groups (cgroups) and namespaces. Then we will take a deep understand of Java's memory management and GC characteristics and how JRE characteristics change based on core count. The session will detail specifically the difference between CPU sets and CPU shares and memory management. The session will close with a deep understanding of the consequences of running the JRE in a CPU share environment and the potential for pseudo-random behavior of running in a heterogeneous datacenter.
