Containers in Production - Observe, Enhance and Control
This track will feature people who are solving the problems of how to run containers at scale. We will discuss the approaches they are using for observing, diagnosing and debugging the unique production issues that containers at massive scale bring.
- How do we observe containers at scale, and with a business context
- Feedback and control loops, turning operational problems into application improvements
- The role of CI with containers

Software Engineer @Sysdig
Containers are revolutionizing the way we deploy and maintain our infrastructures: reducing development overhead, streamlining dev / test / ops, and enabling highly scalable, dynamic infrastructures. But containers still have a key problem: monitoring and troubleshooting them is impractical, painful, and sometimes plain impossible. Even basic things like understanding what is using CPU, memory, or disk bandwidth inside a container are difficult - let alone finding out who a container is...

Head of Product @GiantSwarm
Structuring and developing applications in a containerized world involves new challenges. Some best practices need to be adapted and new patterns evolve. In this talk Matthias Lübken will give an overview of typical patterns that he has seen in developing, deploying and operating applications that leverage containers.
He will start with defining best practices around a good modular container. He will than approach different...

Operationally, many of the problems we're solving for containers have long been solved for VMs. However, these solutions don't quite fit the container model and require a new perspective and implementation. In this talk, we take a look at the theme of this track "Observe, Enhance, Control" and see how this related to VMs, what solution architectures worked there, and discuss why these architectures are no longer adequate in a containerized world.
We'll then look at how these same...

Co-founder @Force12.io - scaling containers in real-time
We all believe that Docker will revolutionise deployment, but what about the architectural impact of containers? What do modern container schedulers mean for resilience, redundancy and server density? Are we entering an age of real-time operations? Is a second the new minute?
by Justin Cormack
Developer @Docker
Automation, repeatability, reliability and testing are the basis of the ability to move fast in software. Over the years, we lost control and let our software environments turn into overweight pets, and then gradually replicated these into overweight cattle. The new focus on microservices and containers is sweeping this away, and we are focusing on total control over the development process, traceability of artefacts, and security in deployment. The natural outcome of this is that we will...
