Containers are the darling of the DevOps world, changing the operations model to one more closely aligned with modern development models.  However, there are few applications where one model fits all aspects of the development pipeline. And where containers fail, a classic VM or bare metal infrastructure is more appropriate. 

At this meetup we'll look at why containers are so important to the developer world, and we'll look at what the OpenStack community has been doing to support the operational requirements of container-based deployments and development pipelines.  We'll also touch on the concept of using container deployments to run OpenStack services.

Speaker: Robert Starmer, CTO, Kumulus Technologies
