Open Source Summit Europe 2022

The broad adoption of container technology mostly driven by the rise of Docker and Kubernetes has changed the skill expectation towards developers. It is not only required any more to be knowledgeable about the programming language, framework and respective build process. The steps of how to "containerize" the workload and deploy it also has become an expected standard. The ecosystem provides a wide range of options to approach container build. Especially for people getting started this can be challenging. The talk will give deeper insights by comparing various Dockerfile options to Cloud-Native Buildpacks (buildpacks.io/paketo.io), Google’s JIB and Source2Image under the evaluation criteria of build time, build size, standardisation, robustness and security. The implementation examples are polyglot. The intended take-away of the session is a better overview of Open Source technologies for container building options along with understanding of requirements, advantages and drawbacks. Matthias has been advocating in this space for several years and has given several conference about this topic. The contents are always up to the latest state. This session can be given as talk or tutorial. It has also been submitted as talk.
