Cloud Expo Asia 2024 in Singapore drew thousands of cloud professionals and tech business leaders to explore and exchange the latest in cloud computing, security, GenAI, sustainability, DevOps, and more. At our Cloud Expo Asia booth, Docker showcased our latest innovations in AI integration, containerization, security best practices, and updated product offerings. Here are a few highlights from our experience at the event.
AI/ML and GenAI everywhere
AI/ML and GenAI were hot topics at Cloud Expo Asia. Docker CPO Giri Sreenivas’s talk on Transforming App Development: Docker’s Advanced Containerization and AI Integration highlighted that GenAI impacts software in two big ways — it accelerates product development and creates new types of products and experiences. He discussed how containers are an ideal tool for containerizing GenAI workflows in development, ensuring consistency across CI/CD pipelines and reproducibility across diverse platforms in production.
Docker Chief Product Officer Giri Sreenivas’s talk drew an overflow crowd.
Sreenivas highlighted the Docker extension for GitHub Copilot as an example of how Docker helps empower development teams to focus on innovation — closing the gap from the first line of code to production. Sreenivas also gave a sneak peek into upcoming products designed to streamline GenAI development to illustrate Docker’s commitment to evolving solutions to meet emerging needs.
Adopting security best practices and shifting left
Developer efficiency and security were also popular themes at the event. When Sreenivas mentioned in his talk that security vulnerabilities that cost dollars to fix early in development would cost hundreds of dollars later in production, members of the audience nodded in agreement.
Docker CTO Justin Cormack gave a keynote address titled “The Docker Effect: Driving Developer Efficiency and Innovation in a Hybrid World.” He discussed how implementing best practices and investing in the inner loop are crucial for today’s development teams.
One best practice, for example, is shifting left and identifying problems as quickly as possible in the software development lifecycle. This approach improves efficiency and reduces costs by detecting and addressing software issues earlier before they become expensive problems.
At Docker CTO Justin Cormack’s talk, attendees were eager to snap pictures of every slide.
Cormack also provided a few tips for meeting the security and control needs of modern enterprises with a layered approach. Start with key building blocks, he explained, such as trusted content, which provides dev teams with a good foundation to build securely from the start.

At the Docker event booth, we demonstrated Docker Scout, which helps development teams identify, analyze, and remediate security vulnerabilities early in the dev process. Docker Business customers can take advantage of enterprise controls, letting admins, IT teams, and security teams continuously monitor and manage risk and compliance with confidence.
After four hours of demos at the Docker booth, senior software engineer Chase Frankenfeld was still enthusiastically discussing Docker products, while our CEO Scott Johnston listened attentively to an attendee’s questions.
New Docker innovations and updated plan
From students to C-level executives who visited our booth, everyone was eager to learn more about containers and Docker. People lined up to see an end-to-end demo of how the suite of Docker products, such as Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, Docker Build Cloud, and Docker Scout, work together seamlessly to enable development teams to work more efficiently.
Attendees also had the opportunity to learn more about Docker’s updated plans, which makes accessing the full suite of Docker products and solutions easy, with options for individual developers, small teams, and large enterprises.
