LinuxCon+ContainerCon Europe 2016

Docker is an open platform to build, ship, and run any application, anywhere. In this hands-on tutorial, you will learn how to deploy and scale applications using Docker "Swarm Mode" and its native clustering abilities.

We will cover the following topics:
- building and running micro-services with Docker Compose
- identifying bottlenecks and scaling containers
- concepts and features of SwarmKit, Swarm Mode, and Docker 1.12
- setup and management of a cluster with Swarm Mode
- operation of a local container registry
- deployment of the demo micro-services application on Swarm
- overlay networks concepts, administration, and debugging
- rolling updates and policies- centralized logging (using an ELK stack as an example)
- centralized metrics collection (using Intel Snap as an example)
- stateful services using local volumes
- scripting build and distribution of images
- distributed application bundles- advanced node management

Come with your laptop! You don't need to install anything before the workshop, as long as you have a web browser and a SSH client.

Each attendee will be given a cluster of 5 nodes for the duration of the workshop, and will be able to build, ship, and run the demo application on this cluster, to get hands-on experience.
