The Cloud Advanced session aims to accommodate different topics of
advanced cloud technologies &\; applications. Containerization is a hot
topic in cloud computing. The target of this talk is to present a broad o
verview of containerization and related technologies. It'\;s intended t
o lead into future sessions that will go deeper into each specific contain
erization subject.
We will start by answering the question "\;what
is a container?"\;\, followed by the benefits of using containers\, a
nd comparison between containers and virtual machines. Docker\, as the mos
t popular containerization tool will be introduced subsquently\, with a di
scussion of concepts and basic operations\, and how to interact with image
repositories. Two other tools for implementing containerization in specif
ic scenarios (Singularity and Kubernetes) will also be briefly introduced.
Time permitting\, we will demonstrate examples of using Singularity and K
ubernetes.
