Containers are portable, make deployments fast and predictable and help devs and IT Pros to get along. In this talk I’ll show you how easy it is to start leveraging the benefits of containers, I’ll make sense of when to use the various container offerings in Azure and show how to avoid the common container pitfalls. (Spoiler – Mistake #1 is thinking you need Kubernetes! K.I.S.S.)

2. About me
I love trying new things

3. About me
I love trying new things
.. and learning from my mistakes
Disclaimer
All opinions are my own.
I try to know what I’m doing.
Like everyone else….
…. I’m on a journey.

4. What we hear from developers
I need to create applications
at a competitive rate without
worrying about IT
New applications run smoothly
on my machine but malfunction
on traditional IT servers
My productivity and application
innovation become suspended
when I have to wait on IT

5. What we hear from IT
I need to manage servers
and maintain compliance
with little disruption
I’m unsure of how to integrate
unfamiliar applications, and I
require help from developers
I’m unable to focus on both
server protection and
application compliance

6. What is the Answer ?
DevOps
… but this requires cultural change

7. What is the Answer ?
Containers
… remove developer / IT friction
… reduce downtime
… grease the wheels for DevOps

13. Industry analysts agree
“By 2020, more than 50% of enterprises will run
mission-critical, containerized cloud-native applications
in production, up from less than 5% today.”

Containers make it easier for developers and IT departments to work together, be
agile and save money.
Azure provides many solutions that utilise containers.
Start simple with Azure Web App for Containers & Azure Container Instances.
Move to K8s if complex container orchestration is required.
Containers != Kubernetes != Microservices.
1 x microservices + 1 x time K8s = 
Containers means you’ll never hear a developer say ‘it works on my machine’ again.
