Your Guide to ContainerCamp UK

#ContainerCamp UK kicks off tomorrow in the heart of London’s Piccadilly and we can hardly contain our excitement. There are loads of Docker talks that you won’t want to miss!

Friday, September 9th

9:55 am: Ben Firshman, Director of Product Management at Docker – Building serverless apps with Docker

Everyone’s talking about serverless right now. For good reason – it’s makes distributed apps much simpler to build, scale, and maintain. In this session, Ben will demonstrate how you can use Docker to mix in serverless techniques – right now – and how serverless is going to change how you build distributed apps in the future.

11:15 am: Nishant Totla, Docker Software Engineer – Orchestrating Linux containers while tolerating failures

Management of containers in production requires special care in order to keep the application up and running. In this session, learn the mechanisms and architecture of the Docker Engine orchestration platform (using a framework called swarmkit) to tolerate failures of services and machines, from cluster state replication and leader-election to container re-scheduling logic when a host goes down.

5 Minutes with the Docker Captains

Docker Captain is a distinction that Docker awards select members of the community that are both experts in their field and are passionate about sharing their Docker knowledge with others. Captains are Docker ambassadors (not Docker employees) and their genuine love of all things Docker has a huge impact on the Docker community – whether they are blogging, writing books, speaking, running workshops, creating tutorials and classes, offering support in forums, or organizing and contributing to local events – they make Docker’s mission of democratizing technology possible. Whether you are new to Docker or have been a part of the community for awhile, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Docker Captains with your challenges, questions, speaking requests and more.

Docker Captains are technology experts who have been awarded the distinction of being a Docker Captain in part because of their passion for sharing their Docker knowledge with others. So, we’ve invited three of our Docker Captains to speak at the next Docker Online Meetup on August 31st and share their tips and tricks for using Docker 1.12. Continue reading
