Docker Who: The Cloud Sent

Organizations sometimes find themselves trapped in a labyrinthine castle of rewriting code and reassembling teams, relentlessly pursued by cloud bills. Developers again and again face the Sisyphean task of building effective images. Fortunately, there are resilient helpers such as HotSpot JVM and GraalVM native images, which behave nicely in containers (however, there are important points to keep in mind). As such, image size and memory consumption can be significantly reduced by selecting underlying components. Image creation can be simplified and unified by tools such as buildpacks, and the most important parameters will be automatically configured when a pod is started. Application performance can be further enhanced by powerful yet simple tweaks applied to the runtime and OS in containers. Let's figure out what effective containers are and how to build them using available tools without any Void stuff.

Speaker:
Dmitry Chuyko is a Senior Performance Architect at BellSoft, an OpenJDK committer, and a public speaker. Prior to joining BellSoft, Dmitry worked on the Hotspot JVM at Oracle, and before that, he had many years of programming experience in Java. He is currently focused on optimizing HotSpot for x86 and ARM, previously being involved in rolling out JEP 386, which enables the creation of the smallest JDK containers. Dmitry continues his journey in the containerization process and is happy to share his insights and expertise in this field.
