"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."
LISA14 Attendee
"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."
Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp
"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."
Matt Simmons, Northeastern University
"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."
Lee Damon, University of Washington
"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."
LISA14 Attendee
"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”
LISA14 Attendee
"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "
Docker is an open platform to build, ship, and run any Linux application, anywhere. It can be used in many ways: providing clean, isolated development environments; quickly spinning up test instances for CI purposes; ensuring coherence between development and production platform; and much more.
This hands-on tutorial will give you an opportunity to dive in and see Docker in action. You will learn about Docker basic concepts, how to run containers, create your own images, interact with the "Docker Hub," and stack multiple containers to compose complex applications.
Who should attend:
This tutorial is relevant for both developers and sysadmins. If you have heard about Docker, but you haven't used it (or very little), this will get you started with a fast-paced, hands-on introduction.
No previous knowledge of Docker or containers is required, but you will need some basic UNIX command-line skills.
Take back to work:
You will interact with a real Docker host and manipulate containers and images. After the tutorial, you will be able to use Docker in simple scenarios, and you will know where to look for further information to cover advanced use cases like orchestration, dynamic resource scheduling, load balancing, and more.
Topics include:
What's Docker?
Running our first container
Understanding Docker images
Running a network service in a container
Building images interactively
Building images with Dockerfile
Pushing and pulling images
Development workflow with Docker
Network and volumes
Stacking complex apps with Compose
Additional Materials:
You won't need to pre-install Docker before the course; each student will be given credentials to connect to an individual virtual machine. All you need is a computer with a SSH client.
