Talk overview:
Part one: Docker
From zero to containers, this first talk will cover how the container entered common usage and in some places have replaced the ubiquitous virtual machine. It will cover the common use-cases and the evolution of the container runtime components and how containers interact with the outside world.
Part two: Kubernetes
Bring in the conductor! As container usage grew exponentially so did the risk of system and service failure as management became too complex. The need for orchestration of these multi container services and applications spawned a number of technologies to help combat these arising needs, the most talked about and arguably the winner of the “orchestration war” being Kubernetes. This talk will cover the how’s and why’s but also some of the new features, CSI (container storage interface, Cluster-API), that are expanding the usage and influence that Kubernetes is having within infrastructure.
