Data Persistence in the New Container World by EMC
Container-based infrastructure represents a substantial evolution in the way applications are developed, deployed and managed in production. They help organizations become more agile and cost effective. To date, most of the work with containers has focused on 12-factor and stateless applications, while neglecting stateful applications. EMC {code} is tackling the problem by giving enterprises the choice for stateful applications by integrating external storage the quickly moving container eco-system. Join us to hear how databases, caches and object stores can be containerized through open source projects and how managing the modern data center can be made both easier and effective. This session covers the current state of persistent storage, containers and schedulers, including future directions in this arena.

Application Deployment and Management at Scale with 1&1
1&1, Europe’s largest web hosting company, has been automatically deploying and managing multi-tenant server environments for 20 years. These servers support millions of active websites and services around the world. Historically software stacks were pre-installed using estimates of what was considered good, taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I am going to show how we are now combining Git, Gitlab, Openshift and Docker to revolutionise our approach to large scale hosting, providing greater power and flexibility without increasing support overhead. This includes showing:
· Transforming the legacy multi-tenant LAMP environment into many single-tenant Docker projects
· Managing thousands of projects on behalf of tenants
· Gitlab CI for testing Docker containers
· Testing container interactions and upgrade cycle
