Blurb:
Operating-system-level virtualization (shortly, container virtualization) is a scalable approach for running multiple applications on the same host while providing runtime isolation between them. Furthermore, containers can be regarded as a "standardized unit of software", that is, you can save and share your containerized software along with its runtime environment so that it can be deployed and run out-of-the-box without further configurations.
This session will provide an overview of creating, running and sharing containers created with the popular Docker platform. We will create a Dockerized environment for a Java Spring web application and Postgres Database, while we are learning the basics of (1) running Docker containers, (2) creating our own images to run containers from, (3) setting up a virtualized network and (4) saving and sharing our software.
