Kai has worked on Internet based systems since 1998 and currently spends his time programming in node.js and go. He is an avid Docker user and has spoken at many Docker and DevOps themed meetups and conferences during the past 12 months. He was a key part of the team that worked with Docker to introduce volume drivers in version 1.8.

"Containers have fundamentally changed the way we deploy processes and managing large numbers of them across many servers is a challenge. Automating the data-centre is a mission for ops teams and the following problems arise when doing so with containers:

"Scheduling different types of work onto healthy machines
Connecting micro-services together
Detecting and reacting to failures
Fortunately, there are excellent tools to do this. This talk will first give an overview of the challenge and then highlight 3 of those tools:

Swarm (by Docker)
Mesos & Marathon (by Mesosphere)
Kubernetes (by Google)

"Each of these tools take a different approach to solving the problem and we will focus on the key aspects of each that distinguishes it from the others. The objective is to provide you with enough context to make informed decisions about which to investigate further.
