Learn new skills for a promising tomorrow

In one of my discussions with academia, a key concern brought up by educators was thier inability to commit time to self learn. Keeping this in mind, we started the year with our first T3 on RPA Design and Development. The 5 days program was hosted in our Bangalore office and saw participation from 22 educators.  Most of the educators were from colleges or universities, who are offering RPA Design and Development as an elective in the coming semester.   We were happy with the feedback provided and hope to continue our efforts in empowering educators thru more instructor - led and virtual classess.

Brief History of Containers  While containers are certainly a very popular topic right now, containers themselves are not new. They have existed for many years. FreeBSD, Solaris Zones, LXC...there are many incarnations of containerization technology.  You may ask - then why is Docker so popular ? For a few good reasons, but mainly because Docker created a very easy to use framework for deploying and sharing containers on standard Linux builds.  There are still many challenges to address in this space, however! Security, isolation and data persistence are areas that are arguably not ready for the Enterprise just yet.  What are Containers? Containers are an OS-level virtualization method in which the kernel of an operating system allows for multiple isolated user-space instances, instead of just one.
