Keynote Address

From 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. PDT, on the Mainstage

 

CEO Scott Johnston will kickstart DockerCon 2022 with some exciting announcements and teasers on what’s to come. Tune in as Scott discusses common developer challenges, Docker technologies, and the innovative strides we’ve made together over the past year — plus what’s in store for Docker’s future. Docker’s product managers will discuss the latest releases and features, and our customers will be front-and-center to share their experiences.

We’re always immensely interested to learn how organizations are tackling their biggest challenges. Companies across numerous industries have deployed faster at scale with Docker technologies, and their teams have also enjoyed better collaboration. On the Mainstage, Scott will welcome two customers who’ve accomplished some pretty impressive things throughout their development journeys. 

Successfully deploying rich, interactive games to the masses is especially challenging. Few understand this challenge like Brian Jackson, Senior Engineering Manager at ILMxLAB, Lucasfilm’s in-house gaming studio. The creative outfit has released popular titles like Vader Immortal and Tales from the Galaxy’s Edge. Follow along as Brian shares his team’s development efforts from start to finish — and how Docker has helped ILMxLAB deliver virtual experiences to global audiences.

Rapid7’s Kris Rivera, Principal Software Engineer will also take the stage to discuss his company’s push for security and scalability. Containerization and Docker’s tools have been pivotal in this effort — and in helping Rapid7’s teams streamline common workflows. You’ll also learn how the Boston software vendor has used automation to successfully deliver strengthened cybersecurity to its customers.

Docker Extensions and Extensions Lightning Talks

From 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. PDT, on the Mainstage

 

It’s official: Docker Extensions are coming to Docker Desktop! These community-and-partner developed add-ons within Docker Desktop unlock expanded functionality without requiring you to hop between windows. Docker Extensions keep you within Docker Desktop and help you harness it how we’ve always intended — as a one-stop, all-inclusive development platform that makes development more enjoyable. 

Additionally, tune in to learn more about our Extensions SDK! You’ll learn how to leverage the SDK to build powerful extensions for your team, and how to contribute to Docker’s community. We’re really thrilled about Docker Extensions, and can’t wait to showcase their true potential during these quick lightning talks.
