Talk abstract: “Love and agony: containers in government”

This talk chronicles the love story of two star-crossed protagonists, containers and bureaucrats. Root for the pair as they muddle their way through the trials and tribulations of procurement, compliance, and answering the question of “so a container is a VM, right?” Can regulation and policy be overcome to unite the two in glorious harmony? Or will this just end up being another technological missed connection?
