Containers and Cloud Native Technologies from an Academic Point of View
Containers and cloud native technologies have been emerging in past 6 years. Mainly driven by business, research works in this area are mainly product-based developed and conducted by major companies and startups in Silicon Valley. Academic studies are limited by super-sonic speed movement of these companies.
For example, Kubernetes kicked off in 2014, with 15 versions already this year. It is running production-grade workload as a flagship product on Google Cloud. While Docker appeared in 2013 and now becomes a billion-dollar tech startup. But academic works around Docker and Kubernetes have just been blooming last year.
This tutorial introduces these containers and cloud native technologies, help explore academic research questions around them, and help the audience to get started with the development of a Kubernetes network driver.
Tutorial Requirements:
- A machine with VirtualBox 5.x installed
- Vagrant (2.1.1 or later)
- Vagrant Ubuntu Image (prefer: geerlingguy/ubuntu1604)
