**Title: *Docker for Databases***

Description:

By now you've probably heard something about Docker. Maybe you've even used it but did you know that Docker can be a revolutionary tool, not just for your applications, but also for your databases? In this session, we'll review where Docker fits into databases, and also where it doesn't. By leveraging Docker for your databases, you can create a powerful development environment for developers and DBAs alike.
