The Cloud Advanced session aims to accommodate different topics of advanced cloud technologies & applications. Containerization is a hot topic in cloud computing. The target of this talk is to present a broad overview of containerization and related technologies. It's intended to lead into future sessions that will go deeper into each specific containerization subject.
We will start by answering the question "what is a container?", followed by the benefits of using containers, and comparison between containers and virtual machines. Docker, as the most popular containerization tool will be introduced subsquently, with a discussion of concepts and basic operations, and how to interact with image repositories. Two other tools for implementing containerization in specific scenarios (Singularity and Kubernetes) will also be briefly introduced. Time permitting, we will demonstrate examples of using Singularity and Kubernetes.
