Finding, Running, Building, Sharing and Deploying Containers with Open Tools

The journey from traditional software deployments to containers in production can be intimidating for newcomers. If you read blogs and trade publications, you will be exposed to a tremendous amount of projects and open source technology. This can make it hard to determine where to start, or how to continue towards the ultimate destination of Kubernetes in production.

Although explaining how to ride a Tron-style light cycle is beyond the scope of this talk, we will discuss something almost as exhilarating—the journey from a single container on a single host, to thousands of containers on thousands of worker nodes in a production Kubernetes cluster. This talk will demonstrate that the journey isn’t quite as hard as it might seem. We’ll get you from Red Hat Enterprise Linux to OpenShift with two commands. Come learn how to find, run, build, share and deploy containers using Podman, Red Hat Universal Base Image and OpenShift.
