Annual High Performance Container Workshop @ISC¶

The High Performance Container Workshop series assembles thought leaders to provide the 'state of containers' and the latest trends since 2015.

For 2022 a submission was done for the 8^th Annual High Performance Container Workshop. The last couple of years the workshop is structured as follows:

Instead of having one long sitting, we broke the workshop into three sessions that shared a similar structure:

1. Firstly, a hand full experts and thought leaders provided their insights and expertise in a short and crisp 5min to 10min lightning talk. This filled the first half (~45min) and went back to back, without time to do Q&A.
2. Second - and this was really the important and insightful part - all speakers were available for a panel and virtual Q&A.

Introduction¶

To get slides about the speaker and affiliations out of the way within the lightning talks we'll give every speaker the oppertunity to introduce himself/herself and their company.
