Conference: March 4-6, 2015
Track: Docker, containers and application portability
Location:
- Churchill, G flr.
Day of week:
- Thursday
Containers have been an operating system feature for some time; now they're a hot topic due to the growth of Docker and its ecosystem. This track will feature people building stuff for and with containers who will show why application portability is so important, and what can be done with the expanding ecosystem.

Cloud services are rarely "read-only." We build cloud services to that users can interact with the data in the cloud. And the more complex the user interaction, the more likely that we will create a Turing complete query/configuration system. And sometimes we just allow users to upload traditional code like JavaScript, etc. But any Turing complete grammar means that there are all manner of security issues from running code in infinite loops to nastier issues including accessing other users'...

What is Open Space?
Every day at QCon London, we’ll open space five times, once for each track. Open Space is a kind of unconference, a simple way to run productive meetings for 5 to 2000 or more people, and a powerful way to lead any kind of organization in everyday practice and extraordinary change.

Platform-as-a-Service(PaaS) heralded a bright new future for simple software deployment - but developer adoption hasn't yet followed the hype. Docker containers have rapidly emerged as the hot topic in platform development but offer a radically different proposition to PaaS.
This talk will compare and contrast the two approaches, and look at how to understand their differing constraints when bringing your (micro)services to life.
by Jessie Frazelle
Core maintainer of Docker.
In this talk, Jessie Frazelle will talk about which customer cases drove Docker clustering and describe the key technical decisions and code in the implementation.
The challenges of clustering are significant. First - to design the simplest possible "batteries included" complete solution. Second - to create space for others to inject their own clustering via a plugin.
Finally - to introduce distributed systems concepts to docker's previously single host world. Come and...

Building the right multi-host abstractions to get Docker into production with both a natural developer user experience and an excellent operational user experience.

Senior Software Engineer at Cloudsoft
Why create a docker cloud? Because our customers wanted to deploy their existing application blueprints (created using Apache Brooklyn) onto a docker infrastructure and we quickly realized that to do this properly we needed first class networking to handle composite distributed applications such as Riak. It was a short step from this to using Brooklyn itself to to bootstrap a docker cloud effectively colonising your chosen infrastructure. A cloud that Brooklyn can then target. And so Clocker...
