Workshop: Containerize all Your Things

The September Docker meetup will be a hands-on introduction to containerizing all your things.

Agenda:

• Understanding your application in isolation.

• What's a Dockerfile and how is it built into to an image?

• Overview of Dockerfile Best Practices

• Practical: Create your own Dockerfile(s)

For the practical:

• bring an application or data you'd like to pack into a container

• we'll break-up into small groups and help each other build Dockerfiles

Pre-work:

1. Install Docker (https://www.docker.com/products/overview)

2. Please pre-pull base images and have large binaries on your local machine prior to the meet-up. If you're not sure what base image to use, please execute the following on your laptop to give yourself a wide variety of options:

docker pull alpine
docker pull ubuntu:16.04
docker pull centos:7.2.1511

Logistics:

We'll open the doors around 6 and presentations will start at 6:30. Pizza will be provided.
