Your Architect Brain Needs to Understand How a Container Engine Works

So, you know that containers are fancy processes, and you know that the kubelet, docker engine, runc and the kernel work together to somehow create containers, but you have gaps in knowledge on exactly what happens in between kubectl run (or docker run, or podman run) and ps -ef on a node. If you can’t explain it on a napkin and that drives you nuts, this talk is for you.

There are a lot of technologies working together to make a simple command so simple. It’s like an iceberg of technology below the water, and we are going to scuba dive below the surface and explore what’s going on. Also, we are going to give you a pewter challenge coin to prove you were there and did it.

After attending this talk, you should be able to impress your friends, influence people and become rich using your new, deeper understanding of how the orchestration node (kubelet), container engine (CRI-O, dockerd, containerd), container runtime (runc, kata, gvisor), and Linux kernel work together to create and man

wo Types of People, Those Who Understand Container Standards and Those That Don’t

The container tools landscape is exploding - from orchestration and logging to storage and networking - from security tools to image building. This makes it really exciting to be building applications with containers. This also makes it really intimidating to make architectural decisions about which projects to use. In production, you have to live with these tool choices, but container standards can help protect you.

This talk will provide an overview of how container standards work together in Kubernetes, Docker, and CRI-O. Will dig into the interfaces for humans (CRICTL) and robots (CRI). It will also provide technical explanation of how the OCI image runtime specifications work together. You will gain a perspective on Red Hat's view of how these container standards are fostering healthy ISV, cloud provider, vendor, customer and community interactions.

This talk will close with a look at the future of standards and where work needs done.
