The document discusses innovative ways to leverage Docker containers to facilitate contributions to open source projects, particularly in various use cases like mobile website audits and education. It emphasizes the ease of setup, reproducibility, and system isolation that Docker containers provide over traditional virtual machines. The speaker shares practical examples and invites questions regarding the implementation of these solutions.

4. Atypical uses
for Docker
Containers

5. Thinking Differently

6. • Multiprocess containers
• Short lived
• Tiny VMs
• Not intended for production use
Doing things the “wrong” way

7. Let’s use containers to
reduce friction.

8. A Day in the Life of a
Solution Engineer

9. Using a Docker container to hold a simple demo, that has been customized for
the client. Leave a tool they can use to help convince rest of team.
• Easy for client to reproduce
• Simple setup
Use Case: HTTP/1.1 vs. HTTP/2

10. Using a Docker container to hold a modified codebase of the clients mobile site.
• Repeatable process to mirror clients mobile site
• Simple setup
• Allows client to view and modify code
Use Case: Mobile Website Audit

11. Using a Docker container instead of a virtual machine to distribute sample web
applications.
• Repeatable process to mirror clients mobile site
• Simple setup
• Allows client to view and modify code
Use Case: Sample Web Applications

12. Using a Docker container instead of a virtual machine to distribute computer
based classwork.
• Simple setup
• Allows student to view and modify code
• Usages in areas that have little or poor internet connectivity
• Does not require latest generation equipment
• Supplies enough system isolation
Use Case: Education
