How the mental model for CI/CD needs to change when building cloud-native, containerized applications

As software becomes more and more complex, we as software developers have been splitting up our code into smaller and smaller components. This is also true for the environment that we run our code in: going from bare metal, to VMs to the modern-day world of containers and microservices.

While we have figured out how to run containerized applications in the cloud using schedulers (like kubernetes), we've yet to come up with a good solution to bridge the gap between getting your containers from your laptop to the cloud. 

In this talk, we'll explore how current CI systems are falling behind and how we need to change the mental model and treat containers as a first-class citizen.

Bio: Toon is a software developer with a heart for product. Right now that product is Wercker, a startup who's mission it is to create a developer platform for the modern cloud. He'll talk to anyone about containers and microservices that's willing to listen and he's often caught yelling things like 'automate ALL the things
