Now for some basic ground rules 9 ! @caseywest #containercon
#linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Rules We will talk about your delivery pipeline 10 !

⏰ 13 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
"Deploying my apps to 'the cloud' is paintful. Why?" 14
! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial 15 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial Containers are just like tiny virtual machines 16 !
@caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Denial We don't need to automate continuous delivery 17 !
@caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Anger 18 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Anger Works on my machine 19 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon

@caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining 21 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining We crammed this monolith into a container and called
it a microservice 22 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Bargaining "Bi-Modal IT" 23 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld

Bargaining What if we create "microservices" that all talk to
the same data source? 24 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Depression 25 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
Depression We made 200 microservices and forgot to set up
jenkins 26 ! @caseywest #containercon #linuxcon #containers #realworld #sorrynotsorry
