Abstract

The container ecosystem is now home to multiple architectures and operating systems. Working in the isolated environment of your project makes it easy to forget about those platforms you don't use. If we've learned anything from Open Source communities, it's that inclusiveness and cooperation lead to long-term success.
Come learn how multiple industry players are coming together to ensure that no matter what platform you use, containers will still be easy to deploy.
In this talk we'll cover how to create and run your own multi-platform images using docker; how to emulate architectures in containers on your own machine; and also give a demonstration pulling all of this together in a Docker Swarm consisting of workers of different CPU architectures such as arm64, ppc64le, s390x, and x86_64.
While our examples and demos use Docker and Swarm, the principles are of course generic and adaptable to other container engines and orchestrators
