SUMMARY:Docker Containers for Research  - Chris Richardson (BPI)

CONTACT:Chris Richardson
DESCRIPTION:I will give a brief description and a *daring live demo* of us
 ing docker containers. Containers are a technology somewhat similar to Vir
 tual Machines (VM)\, but much more lightweight\, reusing the same kernel p
 rocess as the machine they are running on. As a result\, they are faster t
 o boot up\, and have many potential uses. They allow you to encapsulate an
  entire "system" in a single "image"\, making it possible to share complex
  software stacks with relatively inexperienced users.
