We are excited to announce our next meetup! Aaron Huslage of Docker will be in town for AWS:Summit and has reserved Wednesday evening to meet all of you and share DockerCon stories. He will present along with Matt Williams of Datadog and Pierre Steckmeyer of Amazon. See you at Projective Space!
6:30pm - Social/Food & Beverage provided by Datadog and Docker
7:15pm - Matt Williams:Monitoring Docker at Scale
If you have tried Docker but are unsure about how to monitor it at scale, you will benefit from this session. Like virtualization before, containerization ( la Docker) is increasing the elastic nature of cloud infrastructure by orders of magnitude. But maybe you still have questions. How many containers can you run on a given Amazon EC2 instance type? Which metric should you look at to measure contention?
Datadog is a monitoring service for IT, operations, and development teams who write and run applications at scale. In this session, Datadogs Evangelist will present the challenges and benefits of running containers at scale and how to monitor your infrastructure at this magnitude and complexity, using quantitative performance patterns.
7:45pm - PierreSteckmeyer:Docker on ECS: Orchestrate at scale on AWS
There are many ways to run Docker on AWS. Machine, Swarm and Compose all make it easier to transparently scale to the cloud. Amazon EC2 Container Service allows you to run distributed applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. We will provide a mental model for understanding ECS: how it can help with your deployments and how its features overlap or complement the growing Docker ecosystem.
8:15pm - Aaron Huslage: DockerCon Recap & Orchestration for the Rest of Us
Orchestration, resource scheduling ... What does that mean? Is this only relevant for datacenters with thousands of nodes? Should I care about Mesos,Kubernetes, Swarm, when all I have is a handful of virtual machines?The motto of public cloud IAAS is "pay for what you use," so in theory,if I deploy my apps there, I'm already getting the best "resource utilization"aka "bang for my buck," right?In this talk, we will answer those questions, and a few more. We will define orchestration, scheduling, and others, in layman's terms, and we will even tickle the demo gods by deploying small clusters and showing what it's like to use a scheduler to run applications there.

About AWS
Launched in 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began exposing key infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now widely known as cloud computing. The ultimate benefit of cloud computing, and AWS, is the ability to leverage a new business model and turn capital infrastructure expenses into variable costs. Businesses no longer need to plan and procure servers and other IT resources weeks or months in advance. Using AWS, businesses can take advantage of Amazon's expertise and economies of scale to access resources when their business needs them, delivering results faster and at a lower cost. Read more
About Docker
Docker is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications. Consisting of Docker Engine, a portable, lightweight runtime and packaging tool, and Docker Hub, a cloud service for sharing applications and automating workflows, Docker enables apps to be quickly assembled from components and eliminates the friction between development, QA, and production environments.Read more
