Bootable container images and image mode machines form a new concept that the Enterprise Linux world is still deciding how to use. Katello, the content management plugin to Foreman, has already begun making decisions about how systems administrators would like to manage image mode machines. Come to this talk to learn about bootable container images, learn how Katello can help keep your image mode machines up to date, and to discuss how the future of image mode machine management should look.
This presentation will provide users with the background necessary to participate in a Foreman & Katello themed discussion about our present and future bootable containers integration. Ideas about the future will be proposed, and the audience will have a chance to share their experiences and thoughts. The suggestions will be noted for inclusion in future Foreman community RFC posts.
Depending on where the discussion goes, there may also be:
- A demo of the current bootable containers integration with a technical deep-dive
- A discussion about provisioning bootable containers via Foreman
- An overview of Katello’s container registry, which can host bootable container images
I'm an engineer for Red Hat who has worked on Katello for the past 7 years. I enjoy solving problems and working in the realm of open source. Outside of work, I'm also interested in music, biking, and photography.
