Synopsis

We've all heard of containers - they have existed in many forms for decades. Some of us might have even spun up a few. Containers are one way to enable developers to "push to live" as leanly as possible.

In practice and production, building systems with containers presents a new set of issues and problems to solve, such as container-based platforms coping without dedicated operations teams? Or simply deploying a stateful service in a reliable, effective manner? Container 2.0 dives into these matters.

Suggested agenda:

- What are containers
- Creating a simple Java container
- Why you may need a container platform
- Production concerns that need addressing
   (e.g. logging, metrics, secrets management, container sizing, storage)
- 'Container 2.0' through the use of Mesos frameworks
- What basic Mesos primitives are offered and how it can operate on any tin
- Walk through existing Mesos frameworks, and what they attempt to do
   (e.g. https://github.com/mesos phere/dcos-cassandra-service/b lob/master/docs/index.md)
- Small walkthrough of existing libraries that help interact with Mesos
   (e.g. https://github.com/Netflix/Fenzo)
