Intro to Docker

Half Day [Whenever]

• John Fink, McMaster University, john dot fink at gmail dot com
• Francis Kayiwa, Kayiwa Consulting , francis dot kayiwa at gmail dot com

Abstract:

Docker (jbfink code4lib journal article) is an open source Linux operating system-level virtualization framework that has seen great uptake over the past year. This workshop will take you through the basic features of Docker, including setup, importing of containers, development workflows and deploying. Knowing when Docker is useful and when it isn't will also be covered. Ideally, every attendee will have ample experience creating and running their own Docker instances by the end.
