To Containerize or NOT to Containerize? That is the Question!

Presented by Bruce Bateman, Mirantis

For the past three years or so, talk of microservices have been all the rage. The question is: when & Where do we apply this new architectural approach? When does it not make sense to do so? This presentation will provide some foundational information regarding microservices architecture & service decomposition & attempt to provide some guidelines for when & where each approach makes sense. The discussion will break down the various features & capabilities that microservices are targeted to provide; best practices for architecting solutions using these new features & capabilities; orchestration options available for deployment & maintenance of containers. Finally, we will try to provide some insights into the directions that some of these new features & capabilities will travel, including options like persistent storage, SDN integration, etc. Next, we will review the practical reasons for service decomposition & provide parameters in which the use of a decomposed application approach can achieve the same benefits as are touted as only being available by using a containerized approach.
