When:  January 18, 2017 7PM (6:30PM for Q&A)
Topic: Red Hat OCID and Container Security
Moderator: Daniel J Walsh , Lead SELinux Engineer , Red Hat Software

Location: MIT Building E-51, Room 315


Summary:
	Red Hat's new OCID container system, an alternative to Docker

Abstract:
OCID (CRI-O) is a container runtime to be used with the Kubernetes 
Kublet. Specifically, it implements the Kubelet Container Runtime 
Interface (CRI) using OCI conformant runtimes. The goal of the OCID is 
to optimize running of containers in production, via Kubernetes and 
OpenShift.

At a high level, we expect the scope of OCID:

Support multiple image formats including the existing Docker image format
Support for multiple means to download images including trust & image 
verification
Container image management (managing image layers, overlay filesystems, etc)
Container process lifecycle management
Monitoring and logging required to satisfy the CRI
Resource isolation as required by the CRI

Second part of the talk will cover Container Security. We will cover all 
parts of container security from the importance of the kernel, to where 
you should run your containers, container separation and what you should 
run inside
