The Cloud Advanced session aims to accommodate different topics of advanced cloud technologies & applications. IN this session you will be introduced about containerization that is a hot topic in cloud computing area. The target of this talk is to present an overview of containerization and its related technologies. It's intended to lead into future sessions that will go deeper into each specific containerization subject.
We will start by answering the question "what is a container?", followed by the benefits of using containers, and comparison between containers and virtual machines. A few popular containerization tools, such as Docker, will be introduced subsquently, with a discussion of basic concepts and operations. Two other containerization tools, Apptainer and Kubernetes, will also be briefly introduced for different research computing needs. If time permits, there will be a demonstration about the use case of each of the three tools.
