Containers 101 using Dockers and Kubernetes Workshop

Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are universally used tools to deploy containers inside a cluster. Both are created as helper tools that can be used to manage a cluster of containers and treat all servers as a single unit.

Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. In this talk, we will discover how Docker help separates your applications from your infrastructure and treat your infrastructure like a managed application. Docker helps you ship code faster, test faster, deploy faster and shorten the cycle between writing code and running code. We will explore Docker architecture. We will investigate how you can create your image and compose and deploy in Docker hub so others can start using the same environment. Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual Docker host. Because Docker Swarm serves the standard Docker API, any tool that already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to scale to multiple hosts transparently.

Kubernetes is Google’s answer to an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. In this talk we will discover how to use Kubernetes which is portable: public, private, hybrid, multi-cloud; extensible: modular, pluggable, hookable, composable; self-healing: auto-placement, auto-restart, auto-replication, auto-scaling.
