Introduction to Docker

LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Jérôme Petazzoni, Docker

Jerome is a senior engineer at Docker, where he rotates between Ops, Support and Evangelist duties. In another life he built and operated Xen clouds when EC2 was just the name of a plane, developed a GIS to deploy fiber interconnects through the French subway, managed commando deployments of large-scale video streaming systems in bandwidth-constrained environments such as conference centers, and various other feats of technical wizardry. When annoyed, he threatens to replace things with a very small shell script. His left hand cares for the dotCloud PAAS servers, while his right hand builds cool hacks around Docker.

Description: 

You’ve heard the hype about Docker and container virtualization; now see it in action. This tutorial will introduce you to Docker and take you through installing it, running it and integrating it into your development and operational workflow. This course is hands-on and only requires a laptop.

Who should attend: 

Beginners and anyone who wants to learn more about Docker.

Take back to work: 

By the end of the tutorial you will be familiar with the why of Docker. You will also be able to perform most of the basic tasks needed to get started with Docker and integrate it into your working environment.

Topics include: 
  • Installing Docker
  • Creating our first Docker container
  • Building Docker images
  • Storing and retrieving Docker images from a registry
  • Building containers from images
  • Using Docker for sandboxing and testing
  • Deploying applications with Docker
