Contain Yourself: Incremental Adoption of Modernization

In this talk we will show how an incremental approach to introducing containers into complex, distributed applications results in modernization with less risk and more reward. We’ll share our story of how Skytap’s developers and operations engineers used Docker and Kubernetes to get out of the business of managing infrastructure, and into the business of delivering innovation and business value. You’ll learn how good up-front planning allows for a clean separation between infrastructure, platform, and service concerns. You’ll learn how to best evaluate which components of your applications are best-suited first for containers, how to experiment safely and get fast feedback, and how to increase your container adoption for more dynamic systems management.
