Container Security, Management Advances Grab DockerCon EU Spotlight
New security and management tools highlighted the big container developer event, as developers, users and vendors gathered to share what they are doing with Docker.
DockerCon EU Remembers the Paris Victims
The DockerCon EU event started off on a somber note, with Docker founder and CTO Solomon Hykes (who created Docker while living in Paris) remembering the victims of the tragic event that occurred in Paris the Friday before the event.
1.3 Billion Dockerized App Downloads Since January
Docker popularity has grown this year, with 1.3 billion apps downloaded from the Docker Hub repository since January.
Open Standards Effort for Containers Is Growing
The Open Container Initiative, which is run by the Linux Foundation, is a multistake holder effort to build a common container standard. Ben Golub, CEO of Docker Inc., said there are now more than 35 member companies as part of the effort.
Free YubiKeys for Everyone
Docker gave away a YubiKey hardware encryption key to everyone at the conference. The key is now enabled by Docker to provide hardware-based key signing for Docker images.
Quality Matters
A core focus for Docker founder Solomon Hykes is quality. He emphasized that without quality, tools aren’t usable.
Docker Universal Control Plane Provides Enterprise Control
Docker Inc. announced the Universal Control Plane technology at the conference as a new platform that can help enable containers as a service, with enterprise policy control and management integration.
Containers Are in the Game
Electronic Arts is now working with IBM to enable its cloudcell mobile gaming engine to run inside of Docker containers.
Maker Challenge Engages Developers
Among the activities available at DockerCon EU was a Maker Challenge that used the LittleBits Internet of things (IoT) kit to build a Docker controlled device.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Microsoft, Intel All Platinum Sponsors
The exhibit hall at DockerCon EU included some of the biggest names in technology today as big vendors embrace the container phenomenon.
Dockercraft Merges Docker With Minecraft
One the big demo highlights of DockerCon EU was the new open-source Dockercraft project. Dockercraft enables users to manage Docker containers inside of a virtual Minecraft 3D block world.
Next Stop: Seattle in 2016
The next DockerCon event is set to be held June 20-21, 2016, in Seattle.
