Last Wednesday, September 30th, the chief scientist and founder of Flexa Cloud, Deivid Bitti, presented the 'Container in Practice' webinar.
The event, held live on YouTube, was aimed at IT professionals who are new to the topic of containerization. Participants watched a practical exposition of the concept for just over an hour.
The topics presented were:
- Introduction to Docker;
- Docker architecture overview;
- How to create images in Docker;
- How to create an application that runs anywhere.
“The objective is not that you leave here knowing in depth about the Kubernet cluster… The idea is to demonstrate, in a quick and didactic way possible, how the concept of container works, how it differs from a virtual machine, and why the people who work with technology need to know it — especially those who develop applications”, said Deivid Bitti right in the introduction.
Previous knowledge needed to start in containerization
Deivid defended that some basic knowledge needs to be mastered to start working with containers. Are they:
- Linux (package installation, configuration, etc.);
- networks (routing, opening ports, etc.);
- application configuration (understanding how applications connect to databases, caches and other ecosystem services).
Then, the executive explained the concept of container and also microservices. “It's about you taking a monolithic, gigantic, heavy application, and breaking it into several independent pieces. You can make each of your microservices independent and even with independent technologies”.
Soon after, the executive held practical demonstrations, which the participants could follow on screen. In the end, he opened it up to questions.
