Title: Docker (not only) for developers
Proposer: Claudius Link
Type: Tutorial
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
The Docker container engine has gained quite some traction as a DevOps platform. While Docker certainly is very useful for deploying, distributing and operating applications it is not limited to that. With the infrastructure and workflows Docker provides it is also a powerful tool for developing and testing.

After a general introduction and a comparison to other virtualisation technologies we will jump into usage scenarios. E.g.

• build systems
• 32 and 64bit system
• dependency management
• immutable isolated environments environments
• private Docker infrastructure
• security implications
• Docker on Mac OS and Windows
• and discuss the necessary steps and pitfalls base on a real world project utilising Docker.

While Docker is currently available on Linux, there are several initiative to support BSD, Solars and Windows. And we will close with a status check on what is (hopefully) there and what is to come.
