5 REASONS TO ATTEND DOCKERCON SF 2019

If you can only attend one conference this year – make it matter. DockerCon is the one-stop event for practitioners, contributors, maintainers, developers, and the container ecosystem to learn, network and innovate. And this year, we will continue to bring you all the things you love about DockerCon like Docker Pals, the Hallway Track and roundtables, and the sessions and content you wanted more of – including open source, transformational, and practical how-to talks. Take advantage of our lowest ticket price when you register by January 31, 2019. No codes required.

And in case you are still not convinced, here are a few more reasons you shouldn’t miss this year’s DockerCon


  1. Belong.The Docker Community is one of a kind and the best way to feel a part of it is at DockerCon. Take advantage the Docker Pals Program, Hallway Track, roundables and social events to meet new people and make lasting connections.
  2. Think big. Docker containers and our container platform are being used everywhere for everything – from sending rockets to space to literally saving the earth from asteroids to keeping e-commerce running smoothly for black Friday shoppers. Come to DockerCon and imagine your digital future.
  3. Build your skills. DockerCon’s sessions prioritize learning with actionable takeaways – from tips and tricks for devs, to real-world best practices for ops, from customer stories to the latest innovations from the Docker Team.
  4. Be the expert. Dive into topics such as machine learning, CI/CD, Kubernetes, developer tools, security, and more through Hallway Track – a one-of-a-kind meeting tool that allows attendees to easily schedule one-on-one & group conversations about topics of their choosing.
  5. Experience Unparalleled Networking. We know that one of the main reasons to attend a conference is who you will meet and DockerCon brings together industry experts and practitioners at every stage of the container journey. So grow your network, meet with other attendees, and get to know the Docker team!

5 WAYS TO BEAT THE CLOCK ON WINDOWS SERVER 2008 END OF SUPPORT


In just over one year, Microsoft support for Windows Server 2008 will come to an end. Without the proper planning in place, the ripple effects may impact your business. The cost of maintenance will skyrocket, while security and compliance risks will increase without regular patches.

So, how can companies beat the clock? The short answer is enterprise container platforms can provide a fast and simple way to transform expensive and difficult-to-maintain applications into efficient, secure and portable applications ready for modern infrastructure – whether current Windows Server releases (such as WS 2016 or later) and/or into the cloud. Taking this approach saves a significant amount of money and improves security and performance across the application lifecycle.

We are already seeing immediate demand from customers in modernizing their existing Windows Server applications in preparation for the end of support in January 2020 – here are five key takeaways we have learned in the process.

1. Existing applications power businesses today


The fact is that most data in the largest businesses (or companies) in the world run on legacy applications. And these applications   can continue to provide value if enterprises containerize and migrate them to modern environments to make them more secure, cost-efficient and portable to hybrid/multi-cloud environments.

2. Security and compliance risks are real


Since Microsoft ended support for the Windows Server 2003 operating system three years ago, the product no longer receives security patches or assisted technical support from Microsoft. The same will hold true for Windows Server 2008 come January 2020. As a result, the threat of harmful viruses and other malicious software affecting your business increases. With Docker Enterprise, organizations benefit from integrated security across the application lifecycle with an auditable chain of custody – including image signing to maintain integrity in your software development process and security scanning to ensure verified and clean applications.

3. Applications will become portable and cloud-ready


Containerizing Windows Server legacy applications accelerates cloud migration and brings portability across environments and infrastructure – all without changing a single line of code. Docker Enterprise gives organizations the flexibility to deploy on-premises and across hybrid/multi-cloud environments based on their current and future needs, free of vendor lock in.

4. The ROI will be measurable and immediate


Traditional techniques for application modernization typically revolve around a complete application re-write and require an investment that can take years to materialize. Containerizing an application, on the other hand, enables organizations to realize the benefits associated with containers whether on-premises or in the cloud – from improved security and governance to cost-efficiencies. These savings from reduced VM usage and in operations, expenditure for patching and maintenance can then be allocated toward other strategic IT initiatives.

5. Change doesn’t have to be hard


Getting applications to run on Windows 2016 and in the cloud shouldn’t be a daunting task. And it doesn’t have to be. Containerizing most applications using Docker Enterprise requires no code changes. We also recently rolled out the Docker Windows Server Application Migration Program, which combines unique tools and services to make migrating and modernize legacy Windows applications easy to accomplish. As part of Docker Enterprise 2.1, Docker Application Converter automatically scans systems for specific applications and speeds up the containerization process by automatically creating Docker artifacts, further simplifying the process.
