Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches • Elton Stoneman & Bret Fisher • GOTO 2026

Docker educators Bret Fisher and Elton Stoneman discuss the second edition of Stoneman's book, "Learn Docker in a Month of Lunches". They explore why Docker fundamentals remain crucial in a Kubernetes-dominated world, the evolution of the container ecosystem over the past five years, and the key skills that differentiate a Docker expert from a beginner, such as multi-platform builds, security, and configuration management.

Security & DevEx: Can We Have Both? • Abby Bangser, Adrian Mouat & Holly Cummins • GOTO 2025

In this panel discussion, Holly Cummins, Abby Bangser, and Adrian Mouat explore the inherent conflict between security and developer experience. They argue that traditional security, often driven by fear and restrictive policies, can lead to 'Shadow IT' and greater insecurity. The solution proposed is a platform engineering approach, which centralizes security expertise to provide secure defaults, infrastructure guardrails, and a clear shared responsibility model, thus enabling development teams to deliver value quickly and safely without needing to become security experts themselves.

Fundamentals of DevOps & Software Delivery • Yevgeniy "Jim" Brikman & Kief Morris

Yevgeniy "Jim" Brikman, author of "Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery," and Kief Morris, author of "Infrastructure as Code," discuss the practicalities of modern software delivery. Jim recounts his career-defining experience at LinkedIn, where a deployment crisis led to a company-wide focus on fixing delivery pipelines. The conversation explores the pragmatic definition of DevOps, the interplay between Infrastructure as Code and application orchestration tools like Kubernetes, the necessity of frameworks like Terragrunt over custom wrapper scripts, and a look at emerging paradigms like Infrastructure from Code, Infrastructure as a Graph, and Interactive Runbooks.
