Hello WLUG!

Thanks for inviting me to give a talk on containers this Thursday. I'm a Senior at WPI and spent the last two summers working on container technologies at Red Hat under the Project Atomic/OpenShift banners.

If you all are interested, topics for discussion could be:

- Containers 101: Introduction & Motivations

- Container Technologies

-- docker

-- Open Containers Initiative

-- LXC, rkt, and others

- Container Implementation

-- namespaces

-- cgroups

-- security implications, comparison to Virtual Machines

- Containers in Production (Kubernetes, etc.)

- Containers in Consumer Environments (Flatpak, Snappy, etc.)

If there are any other container-related topics you'd like to hear about, please just let me know and I can work them in. I'm mostly familiar with the Docker/OCI & Kubernetes orchestration stack, so I won't be able to go into technical details about other systems, but can give an overview if someone else wants to get into the weeds about any other container systems.

Best,

I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
