Docker Mentor Week 2016 – Bangalore

by

Docker organised Global Mentor Week around the world between 14-19th Nov’16. In Bangalore we scheduled it on 19th Nov at Microsoft office. We divided the group into two groups Beginner and Intermediate of 125 each. Out of which ~60 turned up for each session.

The content for the mentor week was shared by the Docker, which had hands-on exercises for basic and intermediate level.  Microsoft provided Azure pass for every participant so that we all can have same working environment. But during the workshop we faced some internet issue, so everyone could not hands-on on that day.  But with Azure pass and labs, participants can try out the hands-on later.

For the beginner level we had four mentors Sreenivas Makam, Bathrinath Raveendran, Ratheesh T M  and myself. Sreenivas did the heavy lifting by walking through the Docker basics and labs. He also shared the notes to try out Docker Mentor Week’s lab on Azure. We had the beginner session between ~9:40 AM to 12:145 PM.

After the lunch we did the intermediate training. As the internet was not working, we decided to share the concept of Container Orchestration in general and then with Docker Swarm we showcased a sample application. I used the content from my LinuxCon/ContainerCon workshop which I did last month in Berlin.

After that Ajeet showed how to prepare Docker Swarm cluster on Azure and run & scale the sample application.

Both sessions were very interactive. I hope more people would have joined from the confirmed list. I had to say no to few group members as they could not get the confirmed ticket.

Thanks to Pracheta, Usha, Surubhi  and Sudhir form Microsoft for helping us with the Venue and Azure Passes.
