Summary:
If you pay attention to tech news at all, you're probably hearing a lot about
Linux containers. In this talk, we'll take a look at what's behind the hype and
dive into what containers are really good for, what they are, and the best ways
to start getting your feet wet where it makes sense to use containers. This will
include a look at Atomic Host, an opinionated take on Fedora, CentOS, or Red Hat
Enterprise Linux designed strictly to run Linux containers and help
organizations focus on applications inside the container.
