SCHEDULE:

6:30 - 7:00 Networking, Snacks
7:00 - 7:05 - K8s on OpenStack Lightning Talk, Sabari Murugesan
7:05 - 8:00 Discussion / Q&A, Dustin Kirkland 
8:00 - 8:30 Networking 

Here's a challenge for you:

Find a developer and ask for 5 minutes of their time.  Open a stopwatch app on your phone and press start.  Ask your developer to describe the software stack in their current project under development.  Stop the timer the first time they say "containers." 

Did you get to 60 seconds?  Nope, me neither. 

What else did you hear in that 5-minute conversation?  Docker?  Kubernetes?  OpenStack? Amazon?  CloudFoundry?  Rancher?  Ubuntu?  These are the trade winds, the prevailing patterns of development that remove friction and propel software projects forward. 

In this talk, we will examine the modern set of container best practices filling the sails of the smartest and most efficient developers in the world.

And we'll have experts on hand for a lively Q & A. Yes... I know you will have questions. We may or may not have answers, but it'll be a fun night!
