Docker’s very own Jérôme Petazzoni presented at March’s London Docker Meetup with the attendance figures of a small conference with a deep dive, nay, not so deep dive into Docker storage drivers since the temperamental French DevOps dude who will replace anyone that annoys him with a very small shell script was only given twenty minutes to talk rather than the pre agreed ...
