Pre-Conference Meetup for Day of Containers

Our friends at Praqma is arranging the Day of Containers conference ( http://www.code-conf.com/doc-cph-2016/ ) on August 29th and they have been so kind as to arrange and host a free pre-conference Meetup for us on August 28th.

There will be some really cool speakers from Mesosphere and CloudBees so you don’t want to miss this. A big thanks to Praqma for arranging it!

Talk 1: From pets to cattle to flock-of-birds: why, in the future, you'll less often need to ssh into a server

Speaker: Michael Hausenblas, Distributed Systems Jester, Mesosphere Inc.

Abstract: Physical servers are so 2000 and so are VMs. Containers? Well, then you're already living the dream! But there's something just around the corner and you might have already heard about it: the new serverless compute offerings such as AWS Lambda or Azure Functions are the new new kids on the block. In this talk we will see what they bring to the table for you in an appops role, do a system teardown of a simple implementation on DC/OS and looking into advantages and limitations of serverless computing.

Talk 2: Intuition Engineering for Docker

Speaker: Gergo Horanyi, Founders

Abstract: Building an infrastructure with Docker clustering solutions presents new kinds of issues with monitoring services. Your system will change faster than ever and you need new kinds of tools to keep up with that. I’ll present how Intuition Engineering of Netflix can help you in this.

Talk 3: A Guided Tour Around Docker 1.12 Series
Speaker: Viktor Farcic, Docker Captain & Senior Consultant, CloudBees

Abstract: Docker just published a new Docker Engine v1.12. It is the most significant release since v1.9. Back then, we got Docker networking that, finally, made containers ready for use in clusters. With v1.12, Docker is reinventing itself with a whole new approach to cluster orchestration. Say goodbye to Swarm as a separate container that depends on an external data registry and welcome the new Docker Swarm. Everything you’ll need to manage your cluster is now incorporated into Docker Engine. Swarm is there. Service discovery is there. Improved networking is there.

We'll take a a deep dive into the 1.12 Docker series and take a look at what its all about.
