Container Camps
Take Reproducible Science to the Next Level
CyVerse's Container Basics and Cloud Native workshops on container technologies are game-changers, enabling you to easily share, scale, and reuse tools and workflows for all types of computational analyses. Learn to use and build customized containers to make your workflows more reproducible, collaborative, and streamlined. Join the fleet that's sailing towards the vast horizon of reproducible science!
Container Basics
Next workshop will be in Spring 2024 | Virtual
Pre-requisite: Basic command-line skills (Linux, Git, etc.)
Come with basic command-line skills, learn how to find and use existing containerized workflows, learn to use containers with your datasets, and gain a foundational skill and tool for doing more reproducible science.
Cloud Native Camp
(formerly Advanced Containers)
August 16 - 18, 2023 | Virtual
Pre-requisite: Container Basics or by permission from the trainers
Beyond the basics! Learn to customize and orchestrate your containers using Kubernetes, Terraform, and CyVerse's newest cloud-native service, CACAO!

Instructors
"I am already learning a lot on Day 1! I feel like this workshop is exactly what I needed in my career right now.”
"Great experience overall. Each instructor had a unique set of skills and experiences that they brought to the course, which was great."
"I wanted to learn how to create containers and run R analyses inside of containers. I learned how to do that and more."
“The highlight of Camp was the moment where I got something to build faster from an existing repository.”
“I really liked the BYOD aspect of this camp and how hands-on it was."
“The highlight of camp for me was being able to deploy containers on my personal computer on Day 1."
“The trainers are helpful answering questions and helping around. The group project is very useful to apply what I learned to real problems.”
“The highlight for me was working hands on with a group on a project and the desire for other participants to help each other."
“Container Camp was really well worth the time I spent there, thank you so much!”
