DockerCon 2016

This session covers the solution addressing the needs of enabling product-grade containerized applications. You will learn how operations teams running containerized applications in a shared infrastructure can define and enforce policies to provide security, monitoring, and performance for network, storage, and computing. You will learn about Contiv and Mantl, open source projects that create a framework for cloud native application development and infrastructure with application intent and operational policies. Contiv integrates Cisco infrastructure (UCS, Nexus, and ACI) with Docker Datacenter to help enterprises adopt containers at a larger scale.

Containers are quickly becoming the default foundation for modern applications. As a public cloud provider, IBM has been an early champion of containers in the cloud and has built an enterprise ready container service as part of IBM Bluemix. IBM has a long heritage of supporting, contributing to, and building offerings on top of open technologies and IBM carries this commitment to the open development of container solutions by being an active/founding member of the Open Containers Initiative and Cloud Native Computing Foundation. In this session, we will explore the enduring commitment to open technology as well as the advantages of using a pure containers service where the user has access to total solution life cycle management through integration of lessons learned, cutting edge enhancements/development and end-to-end support on the user's underlying infrastructure.
We will explore topics such as exploiting bare metal servers, applying overlay networking to containers, ensuring isolation and security in a truly multi-tenant container environment and managing a global service deployment.

An all demo session covering the container workflow. From the developers inner loop, CI/CD, to deployment in a container orchestration solution. We'll cover Visual Studio Code from a Mac, Visual Studio Code from Windows with Bash and Visual Studio as an in-container local development environment targeting both Windows and Linux Containers. We'll walk through CI, Validation and CD to the Azure Container Service running Docker Swarm as one example of how you can convert your existing config as code and VM deployments to the containerized workflows startups and early adopter enterprises are using today.

Developing an Enterprise Container Management Strategy by Rancher Labs

As containers are increasingly deployed across non-uniform cloud environments, cross-platform container management becomes a growing priority for IT organizations. In this presentation, we'll discuss building a container management platform that supports development organizations while providing critical controls for your IT team. We'll cover how teams are using Rancher, an open-source, cloud-agnostic container management platform, to simplify provisioning and managing Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Mesos environments.

Darren Shepherd, Chief Architect of Rancher Labs, will discuss:

- How organizations are changing their DevOps pipelines to include container orchestration
- How to manage a variety of scheduling tools across your organization
 - How software-defined infrastructure services are making container networking and storage seamless across clouds
 - How to build and manage a central application catalog for containers

Orchestration? You Don't Need Orchestration. What You Want Is Choreography by Chef

The topic of orchestration comes up a lot when discussing applications. We will cover:

• How the word "orchestration" has been used to mean so many different things that it is a meaningless term now for shared understanding

• What I think people actually mean when they say they want orchestration (ordered execution of operations across a fleet)

• Why this model of thinking is incompatible with the autonomous actor model

• How we could build systems that get us the outcomes of orchestration without needing to build it explicitly.

• How this is particularly pertinent in an era of containerization and microservices.

Docker Container Lifecycles, Problem or Opportunity? by JFrog

Docker is hot. However, as Docker container use spreads into more mature production pipelines, there can be issues about control of Docker images to ensure they are production-ready. Is a promotion-based model appropriate to control and track the flow of Docker images from development to production? We will demonstrate how to implement a promotion model for docker images, and then show how to distribute them to any kind of consumer, being it a customer or a data center.

A New Centralized Volume Storage Solution for Docker and Container Cloud by Huawei

I would like to introduce Elara, which is a centralized storage solution for building a huge container-based cloud platform and it can work as a Docker volume plugin.

Elara can work with openstack (Cinder, Manila, Swift) and storages such as SAN and NAS, it has several advantages:

- No central control node (Decentralized)

- Microservice architecture

- Supports Docker volume plugin with extended volume operations (snapshot, migration, QoS etc.)

- Supports different kinds of backend storage including block device, filesystem storage and object storage

- Supports storage resource scheduler (storage pools)

- Easy to install and use

Cost Control Across Cloud, On-Premise and VM Computers by Calm.io

Anecdotal numbers suggest that more than 40% compute resources are under utilized -- from unused cloud instances to virtual machines running on bare-metal. Hundreds of QA & Dev nodes to thousands of production instances could be shutdown, and brought back to the same state on demand. That's what cloud is about -- agility and efficiency, but our on-premise datacenter habits have migrated to the cloud as well.

Calm's DevOps automation platform helps fix our old habits. Calm provides a single pane of glass across cloud and on-premise, integrating with Chef, Puppet and Docker ecosystems. The single pane of glass enables orchestration, cost-control and on-demand provisioning.

Implementing Secure Docker Environments At Scale by Twistlock

Modern container technology like Docker holds great promise for building large cloud infrastructure. Many enterprises, like Adobe, Salesforce, GE, have all found success with Docker to power Internet-scale cloud data centers. However, in a system of that scale, managing policy compliance and security is a challenging proposition. First, security functions deployed in those environments must be agile enough to accommodate massive scale changes. Second, there is very little room for guesswork and false positives. Finally, all the controls, including those at the host level, the daemon level, and the container level must operate in an integrated fashion to ensure robust operations of the entire environment. In this talk, we show that effective security for large container systems must be a cradle-to-scale initiative. We demonstrate that by leveraging development resources early in the lifecycle helps to scale up security controls tremendously in runtime. We show that we can automatically develop security profiles for running containers based on image analysis and with these profiles, we can accurately enforce runtime behaviors of containerized applications. We describe an actual Internet-scale deployment where rigorous image analysis and configuration inspection in development lead to an effective, easily scalable set of security controls in production.

20 mins to Faking the DevOps Unicorn by Datadog

Something changed in job ads over the last few years: everyone wants the DevOps Unicorn. What is that and why did this happen? You probably have a good amount of what is in that description, but is there an easy way to fill in the rest of the 100%? It turns out that it is possible to fake your way to being a DevOps Unicorn. All that you need is a way to know which metrics are the most important. And to know that you need a framework that applies everywhere. No really, it's easier than you think. There is some work needed on your part, but just a few minutes is enough to get started. In this 20 minute session, we will cover what changed in the market, what the framework looks like, and how to apply it to all of the containerized applications you need to monitor.

Proof of Concept: Serverless with Swarm by Booz Allen Hamilton

Serverless platforms such as AWS lambda are gaining in popularity by providing a base for running lower cost, more secure, and easily scaled applications. Instead of running servers, you write small bits of code that get run on-demand in response to external events like API calls. In this session we will discuss and demo how we use Docker Swarm to deploy containers with a serverless architecture-based application. We also want your help to achieve the dream of bringing this new architecture to the Docker platform.

Everything You Need to Know About Docker and Storage by ClusterHQ

In this talk, we will provide a 10,000-ft. overview of the key concepts, architectures, and common deployment scenarios for stateful services. We will cover the Docker volumes and available storage options in the community including ClusterHQ’s Flocker volume manager. After getting the lay of the land, we'll see these concepts in action. Starting by deploying a database container on a single node with UCP, Flocker and VolumeHub. Then, using the features of Docker Swarm and Flocker, we will then allow Swarm to automatically reschedule the stateful service along with Flocker moving its volume when the node fails giving us a HA containerized database.
