How to: Options Galore to Get from Source Code to Container

This talk explores the typical workflow in modern software development, which includes building code, creating container images, and deploying to Kubernetes. The speaker compares the widely-used Dockerfiles with Cloud-Native Buildpacks and Google's JIB, evaluating them based on build time, build size, standardization, robustness, and security. While the examples focus on Java-based frameworks like Spring Boot, Quarkus, and Java EE, the presentation also addresses other programming languages. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of container building and deployment options, along with the associated requirements, advantages, and drawbacks.
