DockerCon 2023 Keynote Highlight” highlights the growth of the Docker community over the past decade. It mentions that the community has expanded to include over 15 million developers worldwide. These developers have collectively created and shared more than 15 million repositories across various communities, including open source and commercial. The video emphasizes that Docker has become the preferred method for building, sharing, and running applications, thanks to the contributions of developers who have used Docker files, Docker Compose files, tweets, blog posts, YouTube videos, and by introducing their colleagues to Docker.
Udemy + Docker
Udemy and Docker announced an exciting partnership during DockerCon 2023. This collaboration aims to bring together Docker’s accredited content and customized learning paths with Udemy, the popular online education platform. This partnership will provide developers with valuable resources for learning how to code. Notably, all the educational materials created through this collaboration will be publicly available for content creators, emphasizing an open-source approach. The announcement received enthusiastic applause and marks the beginning of a promising collaboration between two industry leaders.
Debugging local and remote containerized apps with Docker Debug
Docker has made significant improvements in Docker Desktop, including a 7x increase in file sharing speed, resulting in a 71% reduction in build times. They are integrating Mutagen into Docker Desktop for even faster file syncing, aiming for speeds up to 17x faster. Docker Desktop is being enhanced to simplify app development, testing, and debugging. A key feature introduced is “docker debug,” which makes debugging easier. Attendees were encouraged to download the Docker Debug extension and sign up for Early Access to Mutagen. Overall, Docker is focused on reducing friction and enabling previously challenging tasks in containerized app development.
How to Accelerate Secure App Development with Docker
CEO Scott Johnston highlighted Docker’s remarkable journey and its profound impact on the developer community, marking the 10th anniversary of Docker. This milestone event, celebrated both virtually and live for the first time in three years, underscored Docker’s role in democratizing powerful technologies for over 15 million developers worldwide. Johnston acknowledged the Docker community, including 79,000 customers and numerous partners, for their contributions to the platform’s success. He showcased Docker Desktop as a pivotal tool that integrates open-source technologies, enhancing software release frequency by 13 times. Recent enhancements to Docker Desktop, like improved file sharing performance and reduced startup times and memory usage, were also discussed. A case study from Cruise Automation illustrated Docker’s versatility in supporting large-scale development workflows. Docker Hub’s role as a crucial resource with a vast library of tools and trusted content was emphasized, highlighting Docker’s standardization in building, sharing, and running applications and its ongoing evolution.
