DockerCon 2016

Docker has made containerizing applications easy. This ease of use has given birth to a vibrant ecosystem of innovation. As more workloads become containerized and more tooling emerges from this ecosystem it is becoming harder to define the best dev/test/prod environment for your work. In this session we’ll discuss Microsoft’s strategy for supporting your Docker container work. We’ll discuss how important the open source ecosystem is to this strategy and we’ll take a look at the Azure Container Service which provides a Docker native experience using only the open source tools and APIs built by the community. We’ll see how this approach allows established tooling to be used within ACS and how ACS can help facilitate innovation in the ecosystem. Finally, we’ll take a look at some of the Microsoft led innovations in the pipeline.
