Interop ITX will offer a day-long, Container Crash Course for those who want to learn more about containers’ impact on enterprise operations.
Containers are changing not only how code is assembled into applications and moved around but also how companies adopting containers conduct their business. Not everyone necessarily understands where containers fit into their software infrastructure or how they affect day to day operations.
On the first day of Interop ITX in Las Vegas, a day-long Container Crash Course will seek to place containers into the context of overall IT and business operations.
“I can’t make everyone attending a container expert in eight hours,” said Yung Chou, senior cloud architect at the applications consulting firm, BlueMeta l, and host of the Container Crash Course.
“Some of the people attending won’t be the people in the trenches. They’ll be business managers and project leaders. We’ll give them sufficient information so that they’ll know in their own business environment what their container path should be,” he said in an interview.
The course will not be trying to train developers in the set up and deployment of containers. It will be trying to give a variety of IT and business managers the knowledge to talk to their peers in other parts of the business about the role of containers and how they will change the way the business does things, he said.

Chou is nailing down the final details of the course, and is looking forward to confirming a speaker from Google to talk about what Google knows best, managing containers. Google spokesmen say the firm launches two billion containers a week for use in its internal operations.
