Containers for Beginners

Feeling overwhelmed while getting started with containers? Have you been tasked to figure out how to train everyone back at your organization? There's just so much to learn and teach! In this talk, we’ll start with a tiny bit of history to motivate the "why" and quickly move into the "what" by explaining what container and images actually are (they're not just magical black boxes!). We'll talk about how volumes help with data persistence and include an overview of Docker Compose and even orchestration. There will be plenty of live demos and fun!
Speaker: Michael Irwin, Virginia Tech

Best Docker beginners explanation ever

[@sargerobo5792]

great presentation, I actually managed to enjoy a presentation and it was both informative and easy to follow

[@illingn]

Needed to read up on containers as the last time I did anything hands-on was building physical machines - one for each application! Although I got lost during some of the shell script parts (boy, you can type fast!) I got a great basic understanding and something I can now build on. Many thanks!

@@mikesir87 I have already looked you up in a lot of places. Gone through your blogs and posts. If there is particular place where I can be updated with your videos/posts/demos - link to that place would be awesome! :)

Perfect for Beginners! This is exactly what I was looking for. Your presentation is awesome. Your baby is soooo cute :-)

[@bharathram3977]

Could have made the screen size bigger - following along the code would have been much easier

[@doggonemess1]

If you close your eyes it sounds like Owen Wilson is teaching.

[@chris16durban]

Wow!

[@TheOdysseuss]

I kept thinking I had heard that 'ok' somewhere before

[@mikesir87]

Haha! I don’t think I had ever made that connection before, but I can hear it now too! 😂
