Thanks, Pivotal 4 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
This isn't really a talk about containers 5 ! @caseywest

⏰ 67 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
"Deploying my apps to 'the cloud' is paintful. Why?" 68
! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial 69 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial Containers are just like tiny virtual machines 70 !
@caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial We don't need to automate continuous delivery 71 !
@caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Anger 72 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Anger Works on my machine 73 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers
#realworld #sorrynotsorry
Anger Dev is just #YOLO-ing shit to production 74 !
@caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining 75 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining We crammed this monolith into a container and called
it a microservice 76 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining "Bi-Modal IT" 77 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry

the same data source? 78 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Depression 79 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Depression We made 200 microservices and forgot to set up
jenkins 80 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry

a year 81 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Acceptance 82 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Acceptance All software sucks 83 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld

Acceptance Small batch size works for replatforming, too 86 !
@caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Acceptance Automate everything 87 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
⏰'s up 88 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
What have we learned? 89 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld
#sorrynotsorry
Operability is 1. Microservices Architecture 2. Devops Culture 3. Continuous
Delivery Pick Three 90 ! @caseywest #abstractions #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
