Have you ever wondered how Linux Containers work? How they really work, deep down inside? How does sVirt/SELinux, SECCOMP, namespaces, and isolation really work? How does the Docker Daemon work? How does Kubernetes talk to the Docker Daemon? How are container images made?
Well, we will answer these questions and more. If you want a deep technical understanding of containers, this is the lab for you. Join Red Hat engineers as we walk you through the deep, dark internals of the container host and what’s packaged in the container image. These hands on labs will give you the knowledge and confidence it takes to leverage your current Linux technical knowledge and apply it to Containers.

Developers and operations people who are really looking to understand the deep internals of the daemon, APIs, kernel data structures, and objects that are necessary to deploy sophisticated applications in a production environment.
Developers and operations people will walk away with a much more solid understanding of how the underlying components work and hence will be able to architect their environments with confidence that they are making the right decisions for their organizations.
Containers, Container Orchestration, Performance, Security, Networking, Storage
A solid understanding of Linux/Unix, and a basic understanding of cloud concepts like APIs, keys, networking, storage, etc.
