Here is an example of what QCon has done for these track descriptions. The one below is for the track named "Containers - From Dev to Prod"
Containers came to prominence a couple of years ago with the promise of portability, flexibility and rapid deployments. They remain a hot topic in the industry and there are several success stories of companies deriving business value from the use of containers; especially in the area of developer experience. At the same time, container technology and the surrounding ecosystem are evolving very rapidly, which makes it difficult to assess its readiness for production use.
In this track, we will hear from practitioners who are leveraging containers as part of their software delivery processes for a better developer experience, simplified operations, efficient resource utilization, or all of the above. Speakers will share their experiences in tackling the complex challenges around CI/CD, scheduling and orchestration, service discovery, monitoring etc. and what it takes to truly reap the benefits of container technology.
