6:15pm - The -ization of Containerization by Eric Ernst, Apple

The recent open sourcing of Apple Containerization framework and Container tooling projects enable developers to create and run Linux container images directly on their Mac in a way that focuses on security and privacy. In this talk we’ll talk about the container CLI tool and how it utilizes Containerization to provide simple yet powerful functionality to build, run and deploy Linux containers on Mac. We’ll talk about the architecture, why we wrote the framework and tool in Swift, what future development looks like, and how the community can get involved.

6:45pm - Kubernetes Operators by Wuxin Zeng, Red Hat

7:30pm – Networking and Board games!
