Linux Containers have been around for years, but they didn’t gain popularity until the Docker format made them easy to use. Docker made it so easy to move and run containers, that it’s difficult to understand how the technology works. Linux Containers rely on web technologies and the operating system. This talk will explore the fundamentals.

This talk will help attendees explore advanced concepts in Linux Containers including determining which applications are easy to migrate to containers, and how to do it. We also cover some advanced use cases for super privileged containers.

This will build on foundational knowledge from the Linux Containers 101 class and will assume a working understanding of Linux internals including, system calls, kernel and user space separation, Linux capabilities, and SELinux, cgroups, and SECCOMP. This class will be taught trough a combination of slides, drawings, and demos. After attending, an attendee should be comfortable building fundamentally new architectures using Linux/Docker Containers.
