In support of the desire to gain experience with containers and container orchestration, this education session centered on IBM Cloud Private, IBM's on-premise offering based on Docker and Kubernetes. This session is a first step on a journey to using this technology in development of next generation applications. It will help BB&T gain a better understanding of the technology, how to implement it and how to develop applications using it.
IBM Cloud Private is a full on-premise private cloud platform based that adds important enterprise-grades qualities of services such as logging, monitoring, auditing, and encryption to the base container and container orchestration functionality. It runs on any Linux platform and can provides integration with your existing data and services.
