FEATURED TALK
Containers run from image files, and image files are created by Dockerfiles. As developers we make our Dockerfiles with a base image and then copy files into it to make the final image. But why do we need the base image? How do we know what's in it? What do we gain or lose by using that base image vs different ones? Other than the files we add, what else is in the final image and why? In this session we'll answer these questions with a mix of slides and demos. Going over the basics of what an image is made of, spend time dissecting one, and even make our own from scratch. By the end of the session, we should have a better understanding of what an image is, what files are in there, and why it exists that way.

Many people come with questions, ideas, or strategies to discuss — and many others just come
to meet people! Many of our attendees in the past have also found mentors, mentees, and
peer-support friends — and we encourage attendees to form relationships like these.
Near the beginning of the event, we do form a circle. Organizers and venues will first do announcements, group updates, and logistics.
Then, going around in a circle - you will state:
- Your Name
- What you can help others with/what you are working on
- What you would like help with
- Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
- Something outside of tech attendees can talk to you about
