Open Source Summit
The Open Source Summit brings together project maintainers, contributors and users to share project updates and engage in discussions at birds-of-a-feather roundtables following the presentations. Opportunities to engage in the container-native projects driving our industry include:

Security
The security session will cover three key areas in container security: supply chain of how code gets into containers, authorization and control of what is allowed to run where, and runtime security such as stopping container escapes. The session will be presented by open source contributors from Docker, Styra, NYU, and Netflix.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. This session will focus on updates from Google and Docker about roadmaps for Container Storage Interface (CSI), Container Network Interface (CNI) and support for Windows workloads graduating to stable in Kubernetes 1.14. We will also see a demo of building stateful applications using Rook on Kubernetes.
containerd
Join containerd maintainers as they go through the design and architecture of containerd and learn how to get started as a user or integrator of containerd. This session will go through how containerd manages images, runs containers, operates on Windows, and how containerd can be used with Kubernetes through the Container Runtime Interface (CRI). Additionally, see how Docker’s architecture is evolving to fully integrate with containerd as well as how Google Cloud and IBM are leveraging containerd in their platforms.
Compose + Docker App
Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It is great for development, testing, and staging environments, as well as CI workflows. Learn about the latest updates of Docker Compose from the Docker Team and how to take your containers to the next level by making your Docker Compose applications reusable and shareable on Docker Hub with Docker App.
CNAB
Cloud Native Application Bundle (CNAB) is an open source, cloud-agnostic specification for packaging and running distributed applications that aims to solve the complications of building modern heterogeneous apps. In this discussion Docker, Microsoft, and Intel will share where the CNAB spec is today and visions for the future. Become a part of the conversation with maintainers and fellow CNAB users.
BuildKit
BuildKit is a modern builder toolkit powering the next generation of docker build with many new capabilities to boost your developer and CI workflow. Maintainers and BuildKit experts from Docker, Google, and NTT Corporation will present new features and useful patterns for getting the most out of BuildKit, advanced features around defining your own front-ends, and using a rootless BuildKit in Kubernetes.
Service Mesh
This session will focus on performance testing results of 10 popular service mesh projects using an open source service mesh benchmark tool. We will provide a common baseline across service mesh control planes, like Istio, and modern proxy data planes, like Envoy. In addition to performance, we’ll take an in-depth look at the landscape of service mesh, characterize and contrast their functionality as well as their architectures.
SwarmKit
SwarmKit is a toolkit for orchestrating distributed systems at any scale. It includes primitives for node discovery, raft-based consensus, task scheduling and more. In this session, we will focus on recent improvements and upcoming features requested–specifically, server side stacks, cron job support, and Container Storage Interface (CSI) support for SwarmKit.
Serverless
This session will discuss serverless and container workloads and the use case for each. Popular open source serverless projects will be shown running on Docker. Panelists from each project will have a presentation and demo, followed by a discussion on the best use cases for serverless.

Title: Feature Friday: DockerCon speakers sound off on Kubernetes, Service Mesh and More.

DockerCon brings industry leaders and experts of the container world to one event where they share their knowledge, experience and guidance. This year is no different. For the next few weeks, we’re going to highlight a few of our amazing speakers and the talks they will be leading.
In this first highlight, we have a few of our own Docker speakers that are covering storage and networking topics, including everything from container-level networking on up to full cross-infrastructure and cross-orchestrator networking.
Persisting State for Windows Workloads in Kubernetes
More on their session here.

Anusha Ragunathan
Docker Software Engineer

Deep Debroy
Docker Software Engineer

What is your breakout about?
We’ll be talking about persistent storage options for Windows workloads on Kubernetes. While a lot of options exist for Linux workloads we will look at dynamic provisioning scenarios for Windows workloads.
Why should people go to your session?
Persistence in Windows containers is very limited. Our talk aims to tackle this hard problem and provide practical solutions. The audience will learn about ways to achieve persistent storage in their Windows container workloads and they will also hear about future direction.
What is your favorite DockerCon moment?
Deep: The Dockercon party in Austin.
What are you looking forward to the most?
Anusha: I’m looking forward to the Docker women’s summit and attending Black Belt sessions.

Just What Is A “Service Mesh”, And If I Get One Will It Make Everything OK?
More on Elton’s session here.

Elton Stoneman 
Docker Developer Advocate

What is your breakout about? 
I’m talking about service meshes – Linkerd and Istio in particular. It’s a technical session so there are lots of demos, but it’s grounded in the practical question – do you really need a service mesh, and is it worth the cost? You’ll learn what a service mesh can do, and how it helps to cut a lot of infrastructure concerns from your code.
What are you most excited about at DockerCon?
I can’t tell you, it’s a secret… But I’m involved in one of our big announcements and it’s going to be a real “this changes everything” moment.
What is your all time favorite DockerCon moment?
In Barcelona I presented one of the keynote demos with my Docker buddy Lee. We were on the big stage for about 7 minutes, and rehearsing for that took all weekend. Lots of work but great fun and we had a ton of positive feedback.

Microservices Enabled API Server – Routing Across Any Infrastructure
More on their session here.

Brett Inman
Docker Engineering Manager

Alex Hokanson
Docker Infrastructure Engineer

What is your breakout about?
Our session is about how we do service discovery, load balancing, and rate limiting for high-traffic public-facing services like Docker Hub. At Docker we have developed a solution that allows routing web traffic across different workloads and environments . It doesn’t matter if the application is natively running on Ubuntu, via “docker container run”, in Docker Swarm, or in Kubernetes–our solution will get traffic to your service efficiently and even handle containers coming and going!
Why should people go to your session?
Our routing layer is the single most important piece of our infrastructure at Docker and moving that layer from host-based, native applications to Kubernetes was no small feat. Your routing layer shouldn’t slow developers down–see how we give our internal customers even more choice and flexibility!
What’s your favorite DockerCon moment?
Brett I: My favorite moment was meeting a large group of devops people in a Hallway Track and realizing we were all solving the same problems individually, how inefficient that was, and how powerful community and open source can be.
What are you most excited about for DCSF 19?
Alex: Meeting people and learning about how they operationalize Docker.

Thank you all so much and see you at DockerCon!

Advancing Windows Containers with Docker and Kubernetes

Today, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) announced Kubernetes 1.14,  which includes support for Windows nodes. Kubernetes supporting Windows is a monumental step for the industry and it further confirms the work Docker has been doing with Microsoft to develop Windows containers over the past five years. It is evidence that containers are not just for Linux; Windows and .NET applications represent an important and sizeable footprint of applications that can benefit from both the Docker platform and Kubernetes.

Docker’s collaboration with Microsoft started five years ago. Today, every version of Windows Server 2016 and later ships with the Docker Engine – Enterprise. In addition, to facilitate a great user experience with Windows containers, Microsoft publishes more than 129 Windows container images of its popular software on Docker Hub. Many Docker Enterprise customers are already running mixed Windows and Linux containers with Swarm, and an upcoming release of Docker Enterprise will allow our customers to expand their Windows options to Kubernetes as well. Today both Docker Enterprise and Docker Desktop users have found that the easiest way to use and manage Kubernetes is with Docker and now these users will have the same benefits with Windows containers as well.
gMSA Support in Kubernetes for Active Directory-Authenticated Applications
In the time since that first Windows Server release, we’ve been working closely with customers to understand how to make containerized Windows applications enterprise-ready for  production. Our five years of experience shows us that runtime support for Windows-based containers is only one component of what enterprises require to make Windows containers with Kubernetes operational in their environment.
An additional requirement is support for configuring containerized workloads with domain credentials and identity in an Active Directory environment. Initially we worked with Microsoft to plumb in gMSA credential support for individual containers running on Docker Engine in Windows. Next, we implemented orchestrator-wide support for gMSA credentials in Swarm. Using our experience so far, we are leading the design and implementation of gMSA support for Windows workloads in Kubernetes, delivering Alpha level support for gMSA support in Kubernetes 1.14.
Many Windows-based applications are run on domain joined hosts and use Service Accounts managed by Active Directory to access other resources and services in the domain. Windows containers, however, are not full-fledged domain joined objects. Instead, Windows containers can run with a special type of service account introduced in Windows Server 2012 called group managed service accounts (gMSA). Windows uses credentials associated with a gMSA (in lieu of individual computer accounts) to enable containerized Windows applications to access other services in an Active Directory domain.
Docker, in collaboration with Microsoft and the Kubernetes community, is working to add support for gMSA in Kubernetes. This encompasses: (1) custom resources to configure credential specs for gMSAs in a cluster wide fashion, (2) authorizing and resolving references to the gMSA credential specs from pod specifications and (3) passing down the full gMSA credential spec JSON to the container runtime (like Docker engine). This feature is in alpha with Kubernetes 1.14 and you can find more about its design and implementation here. We invite you to test this out and contribute to the effort which will help to further expand the types of applications that can be run in containers and will continue to work with the community on ensuring this reaches general availability.  
Kubernetes and Windows: What’s Next
Windows admins and users also need overlay networking and dynamically provisioned storage to become enterprise-ready, and we are also working with the Kubernetes community in these areas and will have more to discuss and demonstrate at DockerCon 2019 in San Francisco. We look forward to sharing some of the progress here and hope to see you there!

Docker Pals Program 2019

At DockerCon Copenhagen we launched the Docker Pals program in order to connect attendees and help them make the most out of their trip. Attending a conference for the first time or by yourself can be intimidating and we don’t want anyone to feel that way at DockerCon! Pals get matched with a few others who are new (the “Pals”), and someone who knows their way around (the “Guide”) so you will have a familiar group before you arrive at the conference. Guides help Pals figure out which talks and activities to attend, and are available for questions.
This year we are excited to grow the program, matching more groups and adding Meet-and-Greets throughout the week. You won’t want to miss the best version of Docker Pals yet!
        
Here’s what Pals had to say about DockerCon Barcelona:
“Docker Pals made my DockerCon experience ten times better and I’ve made friends I hope to see again!”
“Our Guide was very helpful and I really enjoyed meeting other Pals at the conference.”
 
“[I enjoyed] the fact that even though I was there alone I always had a place to turn for help and fellowship.”
“[Our Guide] made our group super connected and gave us many insights that helped us to get the most out of the conference!”
If you’ve been to DockerCon before, please consider signing up to be a Guide and help welcome those newer to DockerCon to the amazing Docker community. Participating gives you the opportunity to learn more, expand your network, and have more fun!

containerd Graduates Within the CNCF

We are happy to announce that as of today, containerd, an industry-standard runtime for building container solutions, graduates within the CNCF. The successful graduation demonstrates containerd has achieved the maturity, stability and community acceptance required for broad ecosystem adoption. containerd has already been deployed in tens of millions of production systems today, making it the most widely adopted runtime and an essential upstream component of the Docker platform. containerd was donated to the CNCF as a top-level project because of its strong alignment with Kubernetes, gRPC and Prometheus and is the fifth project to make it to this tier. Built to address the needs of modern container platforms like Docker Enterprise and orchestration systems like Kubernetes, containerd ensures users have a consistent dev to ops experience.
From Docker’s initial announcement that it was spinning out its core runtime to its donation to the CNCF in March 2017, the containerd project has experienced significant growth and progress over the last two years. The primary goal of Docker’s donation was to foster further innovation in the container ecosystem by providing a core container runtime that could be leveraged by container system vendors and orchestration projects such as Kubernetes, Swarm, etc. An important design principle for containerd was to have first-class support for Kubernetes without being exclusively tethered to it, opening the door for many use cases for containers such as developer desktop, CI/CD, single node deployments, edge and IoT.
For Docker, containerd is the runtime component of Docker Engine, which makes it available to mainstream developers without having to change their workflow; whether they use it from a laptop in Docker Desktop, a production Kubernetes cluster in Docker Enterprise, a mainframe where traditional applications are modernized with containers, or edge IoT devices for IoT scenarios. Regardless of which system they are using, developers and operators benefit from the application workflow portability that Docker Engine provides, enabling them to build and run containers using the same trusted codebase everywhere.
Community Contribution
Within both the Docker and Kubernetes communities, there has been a significant increase in contributions from independents and CNCF member companies including Docker, Google, Alibaba, NTT, IBM, Microsoft, AWS and ZTE. containerd’s focus on clean design and quality has attracted new contributions while the CNCF has provided a neutral home to instill confidence that contributions are accepted based on merit. The project has welcomed four new maintainers and eight reviewers since joining CNCF, allowing the project to scale as contributions have increased without compromising on quality or review time.
Evolution of containerd
The contributors and maintainers have been working to add key functionality to containerd since the initial donation, which provided users a seamless container experience including transferring container images, container execution and supervision. containerd 1.0 was released less than a year later providing users with a supported low level API along with cross-platform support, reliable resource management and an easy-to-use client interface. This was followed by containerd 1.1 which brought support for Kubernetes’ CRI built into containerd. As the user base expanded and the community grew, demand for a wider range of runtimes led to containerd stabilizing the low level runtime API in containerd 1.2, enabling support for VM runtimes like Kata, Firecracker, and Hyper-V. The upcoming 1.3 release will bring a supported Windows runtime.
Looking into the future, we anticipate even wider adoption as the core container runtime for any architecture and infrastructure. Follow the project and get involved.
