Let’s DockerCon! https://www.docker.com/blog/lets-dockercon/ Wed, 27 Sep 2023 19:55:43 +0000 https://www.docker.com/?p=46562 For the last three years, DockerCon, our annual global developer event, was 100% virtual. Still, we were humbled by the interest and response — tens of thousands of developer participants from around the world each year. Wow! (If you missed any of ’em, they’re available on YouTube: 2020, 2021, 2022!)

With our collective global return to the “new normal,” DockerCon 2023 will be hybrid — both live (in Los Angeles, California) and virtual. Our desire is to once again experience the live magic of the hallway track, the serendipitous developer-to-developer sharing of tips and tricks, and the celebration of our community’s accomplishments … all while looking forward together toward a really exciting future. And for members of our community who can’t attend in person, we hope you’ll join us virtually!

In the spirit of keeping this post brief, I’ll share a few community highlights here, but expect much more news and updates next week at DockerCon! 

banner dockercon23 keynote

Our open source projects — containerd, Compose, BuildKit, moby/moby, and others — continue to scale in terms of contributions, contributors, and stars. Thank you! 

And overall, our developer community is now at 20M monthly active IPs, 16M registered developers, 15M Docker Hub repos, and 16B image pulls per month from Docker Hub. Again, we’re humbled by this continued growth, engagement, and enthusiasm of our developer community.

And in terms of looking forward to what’s next … well, you gotta tune-in to DockerCon to find out! 😀 But, seriously, there’s never been a better time to be a developer. To wit, with the digitization of All The Things, there’s a need for more than 750 million apps in the next couple of years. That means there’s a need for more developers and more creativity and innovation. And at DockerCon you’ll hear how our community plans to help developers capitalize on this opportunity.

Specifically, and without revealing too much here: We see a chance to bring the power of the cloud to accelerate the developer’s “inner loop,” before the git commit and CI. Furthermore, we see an untapped opportunity to apply GenAI to optimize the non-code gen aspects of the application. By some accounts, this encompasses 85% or more of the overall app.

Piqued your interest? Hope so! 😀 Looking forward to seeing you at DockerCon!

DockerCon Workshops: What to expect https://www.docker.com/blog/dockercon-workshops-what-to-expect/ Thu, 14 Sep 2023 19:23:29 +0000 https://www.docker.com/?p=46090 DockerCon 2023 will be held October 4-5 in Los Angeles, and we are working hard to make it an incredible experience for everyone. The program is now online so you can plan your experience by day, time, and theme, including AI and Machine Learning, Web Application / Web Development, Building and Deploying Applications, Secure Software Delivery, and Open Source. This year we’re offering talks, workshops, and panel discussions, plus the usual vibrant DIY hallway track. We can’t wait to see you there — whether you’re joining virtually or in person. (If this will be your first DockerCon experience, read “4 Reasons I’m Excited to Attend DockerCon 2023” to see why I can’t wait to go to LA next month.)

On October 3, we will have several DockerCon hands-on workshops, organized by fantastic presenters, covering a variety of topics. If you’re joining in person, the workshops are included in the price of your admission. Just don’t forget to register for the workshop you’d like to attend! 

If you’ll be attending DockerCon virtually, the Getting Started with Docker workshop is free, and the other workshops cost US$150. This is a fantastic opportunity to use any learning and development allocations you might have!

What are the workshops and what will they cover? I’m glad you asked! Let’s dive in.

banner docker desktop performance update

Getting Started with Docker

Are you new to Docker? Are you overwhelmed with everything there is to learn? Are you unsure why you should learn about containers and you don’t understand their benefits? Or do you just want to help your team be more productive? If so, this workshop is for you!

This workshop will walk through the basics of containers and images, including answering the question: Why should I even care about containers? You’ll then learn how to run containers, create your own images, and set up your own development environments to enable the success of your team. The workshop will close out by introducing Docker Compose, which makes it even easier to share your dev environment — devs will only need to run git clone and docker compose up and then focus on their code.

After this session, you’ll have the basic knowledge to help your team be more productive with containerized dev environments. It’ll also be a fantastic primer to help you get the most out of the rest of DockerCon.

Docker for Machine Learning / AI / Data Science

The AI/ML space has exploded with activity and excitement over the past year. There are many great tools available, but keeping up with everything can be hard. If you want to get caught up and started with AI/ML, this is the workshop for you.

This workshop is being provided through a close collaboration with OctoML and Docker. In this workshop, you’ll start with a crash course on the latest developments in generative LLMs and image generation models, after which you’ll learn about fine-tuning your own model. You’ll then take that knowledge and create a multi-modal containerized application using Python and Docker. The workshop wraps up with a fireside chat and Q&A with the presenters and speakers, allowing you to dive in deep!

After this workshop, you’ll have a better understanding of the recent advancements in the AI/ML space and have successfully created your own AI/ML-supported application.

Secure Development with Docker

Modern applications are composed of many libraries and components from various sources being built and deployed on various systems, making it difficult for developers, platform teams, and security professionals to know what software is running and whether it is secure. Issues may arise from your own code, its dependencies, base images, and many other sources — and new vulnerabilities are being discovered all the time! If you want to secure your software supply chain, this is the workshop for you.

In this workshop, you’ll start off by learning about and remediating several common attacks against your software supply chain. From there, you’ll dive deeply into securing the software supply chain, taking a comprehensive view of the problem and possible solutions. With this knowledge, you’ll learn how Docker Scout helps you understand what’s in your images, how those images are constructed, what’s running where, and providing actionable feedback early in the process so concerns are eliminated before they become problems.

After this session, you’ll know how to take these learnings back to your organization so your team:

  • Understands and can verify how their applications are built
  • Quickly and easily identifies problems with your software supply chain and remediates them
  • Uses policies to encourage best practices across your organization without blocking fixes getting to production
  • Provides visibility into the security stance of your software to others within your organization

Docker for Web Development

Are you a web developer who isn’t quite sure why you should use Docker in your development environment? Or are you just not quite sure how to get started? If so, this workshop is specifically for you.

The Docker for Web Development workshop is being presented by Timo Stark, a Docker Captain and Principal Engineer at NGINX. This hands-on workshop starts with an overview of Docker Desktop, ensuring everyone understands the basics of containers and images. With that foundational knowledge, you’ll spend the remainder of the workshop building an application, containerizing it along the way, using a combination of NodeJS and PHP backends and a React frontend. You’ll learn how to connect multiple services together and build a development environment that will require no installation and configuration (beyond Docker Desktop), helping speed up productivity and ensuring reliable environments across your development team.

After this session, you’ll have a strong understanding of how Docker can be used to speed up your web development stack and how you can help enable your team to be more productive and have more consistent environments.

Register now

DockerCon is coming up quickly! We’d love to see you in person, but you’re welcome to join us virtually as well. Visit the DockerCon site to register for the conference, see the program, and register for workshops now.

4 Reasons I’m Excited to Attend DockerCon 2023 https://www.docker.com/blog/4-reasons-im-excited-to-attend-dockercon-2023/ Thu, 20 Jul 2023 15:21:19 +0000 https://www.docker.com/?p=43958 DockerCon is back! DockerCon is back! DockerCon is back! I can’t tell you how excited this makes me. Now, you may recognize that I work at Docker, but I haven’t always. Although I’ve worked at Docker for about 18 months, I’ve been in the Docker space for a long time. In fact, my first presentation about Docker was all the way back in December 2015.

Since then, I’ve helped organize, run, and speak at many meetups, and I was recognized as a Docker Captain in March 2017. I even received the inaugural Community Leader of the Year award for the North America region in 2018. As I look back throughout my career, many of my fondest memories can be attributed to my time at DockerCon. This will be my sixth in-person DockerCon, and here are four reasons I’m happy to be back in person this year.

Let’s go!

#1 — Developer-focused content

We’ve all been to many “developer-focused” conferences, only to find out most of the sessions are sponsored sessions, the keynotes are relatively boring, and there really isn’t much focus on developers. I remember going to DockerCons and learning everything about Docker’s latest features, scaling our efforts to my team and across the organization, deepening my understanding of various cloud-native design patterns and architectures, and helping my team be as productive as possible. Especially earlier in my career, this experience helped me become the developer I am today.

As I’m helping plan DockerCon this year, I’ll admit we want all of the same things from the past, just updated. We want to help each and every developer better their craft and better deliver results for their customers… whoever they might be.

#2 — The hallway track

Honestly, this is probably one of my favorite parts of DockerCon.The Hallway Track is a special track of DockerCon in which attendees can network and learn from each other. If you want to learn about something, simply make a request! If you want to teach others, submit a session! Then, small groups get together and just chat. These hallway moments have truly been some of the best moments of DockerCon, both learning and teaching. There’s simply no better way to learn than from others who have walked the same journey.

Photo of large green "Hallway track" banner hanging in front of a wall of windows.
The hallway track offers many chances to learn and connect.

#3 — Reconnecting with and making new friends

During my time as a Docker Captain from 2017-2022 (I had to semi-retire when I joined Docker), DockerCon was such a fun time to get together and spend time with my fellow Captains. In many ways, this felt like a family reunion. We learned together, taught each other, and provided insight and direction to the Docker product and executive teams. 

Although connecting with old friends was great, I always made new friends every year. Many of those came from the Hallway Track, but random conversations at meals, the conference party, and other one-offs have provided me with friendships and contacts I still use to this day. Whenever I’m stuck with any problem, there’s a good chance I can reach out to someone that I met at DockerCon.

#4 — Fun all around!

I may or may not be known for roaming around the DockerCon EU 2017 vendor hall in an inflatable dinosaur suit or using that same suit to start my “Containers for Beginners” talk at DockerCon 2019. Why? To be completely honest, because it’s fun! And while a conference isn’t only about having fun, it’s certainly a lot easier to be a part of a community when you’re doing so. DockerCon is not afraid to have a little bit of fun.

We are looking for speakers who want to share their experience with the community in a 30 to 45-minute presentation. We welcome all topics related to software development and the tech ecosystem. Additionally, we’re looking for unconference hosts who are passionate about a particular topic and want to lead a discussion on it.

Have a topic you’re especially excited about and would like to host? Follow these top five tips to get your topic suggestion accepted, and submit your proposal before August 14th!

Top five tips to get your proposal accepted

To increase the chances of your topic being selected, there’s a few qualities our community especially looks forward to. When brainstorming your proposal, we recommend keeping the following in mind.

1. Keep it short and sweet

Brevity is key when it comes to proposals. The review committee is looking for clear and concise proposals that get to the point.

2. Make it relevant

Your proposal should be relevant to the Docker community. Think about what would be of interest to other members of the community and what would contribute to the overall goal of the All-Hands event, which is to bring the community together.

During this event, developers can look forward to an altruistic platform for learning about new technologies and driving group conversation. For this reason, please don’t submit commercial and promotional content.

3. Don’t be afraid to repeat topics

Everyone has a different perspective, so don’t be afraid to repeat a topic that has been presented before. Your unique perspective is what makes your proposal valuable!

4. Know your audience

Keep your audience in mind when crafting your proposal. The All-Hands event is open to developers of all levels, so make sure your proposal is accessible to a broad range of people.

5. Follow the submission guidelines

Be sure to follow the submission guidelines when submitting your proposal. This includes providing all the required information and using the correct format.
