Docker 4 Devs w/Dave Chwalisz
Channel: Software Craftsmanship McHenry County
Date: 23/05/2018

This is a recording of our 5/15/2018 meeting (https://www.meetup.com/Software-Craftsmanship-McHenry-County/events/fvvtxnyxhbtb/).

Developers are building more and more interconnected systems.

Sometimes a stubbed service will not work for UI or end-to-end testing, or you may be trying to validate a service against several versions of a database.

Using Docker containers enables developers to quickly run services in small local networks, test against them, and take them down without large investments of time or hardware. Docker can also be used in continuous integration scenarios, using CI build systems like Jenkins and GoCD.

Dave will demonstrate some of the fundamentals of Docker and show several examples of how Docker makes your service support simpler.
