The Docker Enterprise Edition platform helps customers deploy and manage applications faster and it secures the application pipeline at a lower cost than traditional application delivery models. But it takes more than just great technology to achieve the desired results. The organization and culture of your enterprise directly impacts what you transform, how it’s done, and who does it. Success requires a strategy for how you will govern the Docker EE container platform, how to assess your application estate, what your delivery pipeline will look like, and how to ensure developers, operators, security teams and others play nicely together. In this talk I will cover topics such as different types of workloads (legacy, microservices, FaaS, big data, ...), how your org chart can influence whether you deploy a CaaS (Containers as a Service) vs CLaaS (Clusters as a Service), how "shifting left" can determine if you can outsource, centralized vs distributed CI/CD and how containers play a role, transforming your pets into cattle, how giant whale balloons are used for onboarding, and a prescriptive and comprehensive methodology for successfully deploying Docker in your enterprise.
