Containers are all the rage these days – from Docker to Kubernetes and everywhere in-between. But to get the most out of them it can be helpful to understand how containers are constructed, how they depend on and interact with the operating system, and how the various tools for working with and creating containers differ.

Topics to be discussed in this webinar include:

• What containers are and the benefits they provide
• How containers are constructed
• The differences between layers, images, and containers
• What does immutability really mean
• The core Linux functionalities that containers are based on
• How containers reuse code
• The differences between containers and VMs
• What Docker really does
• The Open Container Initiative
• The differences and features/functions of the various container-related tooling used today
