LinuxCon + CloudOpen + ContainerCon NA 2015

Docker has dramatically transformed the workflow for many organizations, including ours. We've been running it in production for 1.5 years and in that time it has enabled us to overcome many hurdles, such as simplifying horizontal scaling, increasing our deployment speed and most importantly, streamlining our development process.

But, adopting new technologies comes with an inherent risk - best practices are not yet well known, standards may not be fully fleshed out and the underlying technology can rapidly change between releases. It's a lot like an adventure into the unknown: pitfalls await the unwary, and the road to glory can be a rocky one. Luckily for you, we've mapped some of that territory.

Join us on an adventure which will shed light on some potential pitfalls that you can avoid when adopting Docker in your organization. We will be flying through a number of topics including operating system choice, backend storage, logging, resource management and more. During each topic, we will be providing real world examples and personal experiences of working through some of these problems.

By the end of the talk, you will have gained valuable information that will help you build an even more stable, reliable, and performant Docker platform.
