Optimising your cloud: container technology

November 17, 2016 10:00 am GMT

To quote cloud computing analyst and consultant Phil Wainewright: “OK, I’ll admit this is a bit of a geeky topic but it’s going to have a huge impact on the cost of cloud computing and on how enterprises develop their cloud applications.

“In other words, it directly affects some of the most important technology decisions you’ll be involved in over the next year or two. So bear with me on this one.”

In the last two years, container technology has rocketed into popularity. Open source tools, like Docker, have transformed the application development process driving developer productivity and much faster speed to market. Infrastructure containers have allowed IT Operations to realize 10x performance and TCO advantages over traditional hardware hypervisor environments.

Join five other senior technology executives and thought leaders on this essential roundtable as we talk container tech and key deployment considerations.
