Last week, Docker hosted our 4th annual Mid-Atlantic and Government Docker Summit, a one-day technology conference held on Wednesday, May 29 near Washington, DC. Over 425 attendees in the public and private sector came together to share and learn about the trends driving change in IT from containers, cloud and DeVops. Specifically, the presenters shared content on topics including Docker Enterprise, our industry-leading container platform, Docker’s Kubernetes Service, Container Security and more.
Attendees were a mix of technology users and IT decision makers: everyone from developers, systems admins and architects to Sr. leaders and CTOs.
Summit Recap by the Numbers:
428 Registrations
16 sessions
7 sponsors
3 Tracks (Tech, Business and Workshops)
Keynotes
Highlights include a keynote by Docker’s EVP of Customer Success, Iain Gray, and a fireside chat by the former US CTO and Insight Ventures Partner, Nick Sinai, and current Federal US CIO, Suzette Kent.
The fireside highlighted top of mind issues for Kent and how that aligns with the White House IT Modernization Report; specifically modernization of current federal IT infrastructure and preparing and scaling the workforce. Kent mentioned, “The magic of IT modernization is marrying the technology with the people and the mission.” And that’s exactly what her efforts support:“What’s being doing inside the federal government and serving the entire population of the American people is the largest technology transformation, with the most valuable data, in the world.”
Session Content
This year we had three tracks – business, technical and workshops – with presentations from Docker, ecosystem partners, customers and Docker captains to drive discussions, technology deep dives and hands on tutorials. Attendees loved having varying options to dive into from business to technical, beginner to advanced.

There’s always something new to learn about cloud computing, and the top posts in May on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) blog covered several essential topics: security, APIs, and containers, not to mention ML. Here’s what was popular.Learning cloud, one topic at a timeAPI design is a hot topic in our increasingly microservices-oriented world. This popular post describes how to design APIs using links, not keys, to represent relationships. Expressing relationships between APIs is a big factor in successful API design. While database keys are a common way to express API relationships, using web links is less complicated and requires less documentation. This post goes in-depth on how to expose URLs instead of database keys in your web APIs. There’s also a lot to learn about Kubernetes as you’re getting up to speed on containers and microservices. Understanding how resources are allocated to containers is important, and this post covers how Kubernetes controls resources and how to use requests and limits accordingly in your environment. This can help avoid issues like nodes running out of memory or apps taking up excessive CPU resources.Power to the podsThis month also brought the beta release of our Cloud TPU Pods, which are machine learning (ML) accelerators that provide strong performance and are cost-effective. TPU Pods are based on our Google-designed custom silicon chips—Tensor Processing Units, or TPUs. The Cloud TPU Pods are multi-rack supercomputers that dramatically speed up the processing of ML workloads—from days or weeks on other systems to minutes or hours. You can train more capable ML models and iterate faster with these new units.Security, everywhereGoogle’s big developer conference, Google I/O, took place last month, and this post covered the show’s highlights. The Android phone’s built-in security key is now generally available on Android 7.0+ devices. This lets you use your Android phone as a FIDO standard security key to verify your sign-in to Google and Google Cloud services.,At Next ‘19, we announced Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Sandbox. This post covers more details about GKE Sandbox, now in beta, which can help prevent threats to your containers by adding an extra layer between containers and the host OS, lessening the likelihood of “container escape.”That’s a wrap for May! Stay tuned for all the latest news.

As I’ve shared in past blog posts, digital technology offers increasing flexibility and choice to consumers, the retail industry is dramatically shifting toward more tailored and personalized experiences for shoppers, and businesses are rethinking how they deliver value to customers. This couldn’t be more true for the beauty retailing industry where leading companies are turning to digital technology to create customized shopping experiences. I’m particularly excited to talk about Google Cloud’s work with Ulta Beauty, the largest beauty retailer in the United States with more than 1196 stores in all 50 states, and how the company is using our technology solutions to power personalization and redefine beauty retailing.Established in 1990, Ulta Beauty has had incredible success as a company, and as customers become more discerning and curious about their purchases, the company is finding new ways to meet their changing needs. Recently, leaders at Ulta Beauty recognized a huge opportunity to complement and enhance the shopping experience by helping beauty enthusiasts navigate through more than 500 brands and 25,000 products carried in their stores and online channel. They decided to leverage the data from Ulta Beauty’s successful Ultamate Rewards loyalty program to create and offer more unique and personalized user experiences.With more than 30 million members generating data through sales, transactions, product reviews, and social media engagement, Ulta Beauty’s Loyalty Program creates a comprehensive data set, and the company sought the right technology partner to help organize, analyze and transform that data into valuable insights for its customers. Ulta Beauty’s leaders knew they had an opportunity to leverage data analytics and machine learning to reach customers in new ways, enhance the guest experience, and continue to grow their active loyalty member base. After considering a number of cloud providers, they chose to expand their existing partnership with Google Cloud.“Google Cloud listened to our needs and worked in tandem with our engineering team to address our challenges,” said Michelle Pacynski,, vice president of digital innovation at Ulta Beauty. “The ease of working with the Google Cloud team and their breadth of experience made the decision a no-brainer, laying the foundation for a great partnership.” In 2019, Ulta Beauty announced it was working with Google Cloud Platform to unify and organize its data, using:BigQuery to perform data analysis and generate dynamic content, personalized product recommendations, and event-based messages for customers.Cloud Storage to provide highly available, secure, resilient and cost-effective access to data across the entire enterprise.Compute Engine for the high-performance scalability needed to grow with customer demand while painlessly migrating existing applications to the cloud.Anthos to build a hybrid cloud foundation that allows their applications to take advantage of all this data, combining the power and flexibility of GKE with the ability to leverage their existing investment in secure infrastructure on-premises.Our partnership with Ulta Beauty has enabled increased engagement with customers in store and online, and the creation of new tools and capabilities, including a new Virtual Beauty Advisor tool to deliver tailored recommendations and help shoppers choose the right products, and a Customer Conversation Platform that’s enabling deeper connections with guests, ultimately driving customer loyalty.“It’s been a really efficient process so far due in part to the ease of working with the Google team,” said Michelle Pacynski, vice president of digital innovation at Ulta Beauty. “They’re experienced, approachable, and their can-do style makes for a great partnership. They listened to our needs and worked in tandem with our engineering team, figuring things out, and getting it done.”We look forward to continuing this great partnership with Ulta Beauty and helping to power the company’s digital transformation as it finds new ways to meet the unique needs of customers.To learn more about how Google Cloud is helping retail businesses win the hearts of customers with more flexible, secure and integrated big data solutions, visit our website.
