Abstract

Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of
applications into containers. Linux containers provide a mechanism for
isolating applications providing many of the advantages of virtual machines
with much less overhead and near native performance. In addition to the
virtualized container execution environment, Docker adds a powerful and
flexible application deployment engine. I'll provide an introduction to
Docker technology, describe how it can be used, what it's good (and not
good) for, and show how you easy it is to get started. The best way to
understand this technology is to try it yourself. I'll show how easy it is
to install Docker, start containers for various pre-canned applications, as
well as create custom images for your own use or to share with others.

As usual we will be having a "Meeting After the Meeting" for talk and
drinks, and since the meeting is on Thursday we are planning it at the
Bulldog Alehouse restaurant in Bolingbrook on Weber Rd.

Bio

Peter Fales has been a computer geek, (ethical) hacker, and do-it-yourself
enthusiast ever since learning BASIC, assembly language, and soldering
while going to high-school in the 1970s. He earned his BS in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Colorado, Boulder
in 1982 and his Master in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University
in Palo Alto, California in 1983. He recently retired from a career
developing software and software tools for the telecommunication industry
(AT&T, Lucent Technologies, Alcatel-Lucent, and Bell Labs). His only son
left for college two years ago, leaving him with still more time to indulge
in both technical hobbies (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, 3D-Printing, and working
with open-source software) and non-technical pursuits (biking, skiing,
reading, home repair projects, and volunteer work with his church and the
Boy Scouts).
