EMEA Pug challenge – Dockerizing the enterprise
Have you ever been to the Croke Park stadium in Dublin? It’s a well known place to be for a great football match – or to go to a conference. In October 2018 Wiebe de Roos gave a nice presentation at the EMEA Pug challenge – Dockerizing the enterprise.
Progress
Wiebe de Roos was being invited by Flusso BV – a small ICT company in Leusden. Most important technology is the Progress 4GL language. Not knowing anything about Progress – Wiebe zoomed in at Docker (security) and Progress. This was to make sure there was a proper connection with the audience.
Setting the context
Most of people in the room have a Progress background or have experience with related tools like OpenEdge. Therefore it was important to set a proper baseline since Docker/Container technologies are fairly new to the Progress world. So it all started with the context of containers on an enterprise level.
Inspiring topics
- Business value of containers compared to VMs
- The current state of the CI/CD tools and processes – and a future vision of it
- Optimizing for team autonomy in a highly secure banking environment
- The role of CI/CD and Jenkins with regard to containers
- The security aspects of containers (on multiple levels)
- A small section about Progress software and containerization
