This Side Up!

Containers are about to be the present of Software packaging for the masses, and they already are for some of us. Orchestration is the key to successful container adoption and distribution, and the most important piece of the equation.

This Side Up is dedicated to identify key success and failure patterns when adopting a container strategy thanks to feedback and insight from people running containers in production in companies of various sizes and verticals.

You will understand what you should take into consideration when moving to containers, challenges and how to overcome them, tools and practices that apply for various use cases and many more data driven stories which will help you sail your ship.
