Abstract

Modern software development involves an ever-increasing and complex technology stack. The modern developer needs to work within this environment and find ways to minimize risk and continually deliver high quality products. This talk will discuss how containers (specifically docker) can help with that work. We will also discuss some of the challenges associated with using container technology.
