Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) streamlines DevOps and allows developers to focus on application development. The PaaS handles provisioning, scaling, high availability, and tenancy.
Integration with the Docker platform, CoreOS Linux distribution, and Kubernetes container management system bring more scalability and flexibility to a PaaS. This session will include installing and deploying sample applications using Docker,CoreOS and Kubernetes, and a walkthrough on how it can be extended to support new application containers. It will also include a demonstration of app deployment, provisioning, auto-scaling, and more.
