Starting my career in the pre-virtualization era, I’ll admit containers passed me by at first. There was much to learn and work on in the bare-metal space, and containers were not a focus for some time. Containers have undeniably impacted the industry, and my learning journey started at square one. This session will begin with the perspective of a systems administrator who needs to understand the role containers can play in an environment. We’ll touch on a wide array of topics:

• Linux technologies that make containers happen
• Different container runtimes
• Container networking
• Container storage
• Multi-container management
• Building a custom container

The attendee will gain an understanding of container topics that go beyond what a container is and focus on how containers integrate into an environment.
