Docker Distributed System Summit videos & podcast episodes
Following LinuxCon Europe in Berlin last week, we organized a first of its kind Docker event called Docker Distributed Systems Summit. This two day event was an opportunity for core Docker engineers and Docker experts from the community to learn, collaborate, problem-solve and hack around the next generation of distributed systems in areas such as orchestration, networking, security and storage.
More specifically, the goal of the summit was to dive deep into Docker’s infrastructure plumbing tools and internals: SwarmKit, InfraKit, Hyperkit, Notary, libnetwork, IPVS, Raft, TUF and provide attendees with the working knowledge of how to leverage these tools while building their own systems.
We’re happy to share with you all the videos recordings, slides and audio files available as #dockercast episodes!

Migrating the Runbook – a Journey from Legacy to DevOps
"Just type this invoice up for me will you please?" asked a sheepish looking Malcolm.
"I do have better things to do you know" I replied.
"Yes, yes, I know. But who else is going to do it?"
"Give it here then!"
In the beginning, there was a problem
That was a fairly common interaction for me as a young lad. I was fresh out of school and working my summer in the sales department of a local car dealership. My job was mostly admin related tasks, which up until that point hadn't included doing all the sales guys' typing. Our secretary had recently departed the company, and the sales guys all figured I could happily do the replacement typing jobs. The duty had fallen to me because a) I had the stereotypical 1980s glasses of a nerdy computer kid and b) they all knew I actually was a nerdy computer kid. So fair play to them for assuming I could type, I could.
The thing was I really did have better things to do, and these daily interruptions were eating into my productive time. I wanted that time back; so Continue reading
