A short talk about putting CakePHP in a (Docker) container environment for CI and CD purposes, what obstacles we have encountered doing that and what advantages it has provided us.

4. WHO IS THIS GUY? Not this kind of guy… More like this guy… 4
5. CONTAINERS WHAT ARE CONTAINERS? Unlike VMs, containers do not bundle a full operating system - only libraries and settings required to make the software work are needed. This makes for efficient, lightweight, self-contained systems and guarantees that software will always run the same, regardless of where it’s deployed.

6. CONTAINERS WHAT IS DOCKER? Docker is the world’s leading software container platform. Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by- side in isolated containers to get better compute density. Source: https://docker.com 6
7. CONTAINERS CAN RUN ON ANY LINUX BASED OS AND WINDOWS SERVER 2016 Source: https://docker.com 7
8. USAGE WITHIN THE MOD USING CONTAINERS 8 DOCKER FOR OVER 10 YEARS
9. BRACE YOURSELF WARNING! Everything we build and run is in an offline, on-premise intranet infrastructure. 9
