#95: A walk-through of ways to Dockerize your JVM application 

As “the Cloud” becomes more and more widespread, now is a good time to assess how you can containerize your JVM application. I assume everybody is able to write a Dockerfile around the generated JAR. However, each time the application’s code changes, the whole image will need to be rebuilt. If you’re deploying to a local Kubernetes cluster environment, this increases the length of the feedback loop that much.

In this demo-based talk, I’ll present different ways to get your JVM app in a container. We will also have a look at what kind of Docker image they generate, how they layer the images, whether those images are compatible with existing tools, e.g. skaffold.
