Making Magic Happen: Using PHP Containers at Scale

At Pantheon, we run millions of production containers. Let's discuss techniques we've learned that you can apply to your own container based infrastructure. Topics include:

• What are containers? Why would I want to use them for my project?
• Best practices for deploying containers
• Disk, CPU, and network resource isolation
• Making HA possible for at every project scale
• Avoiding server upgrades: how to migrate containers to fresh hosts (without site downtime)
• Security isolation
• Capacity planning: what resources run out for what parts of the Drupal stack

David Strauss is a long time Drupal developer who is the co-founder and CTO of Pantheon which has run containers in production for many years.
