[Plsgs] FW: CyVerse Container Camp for anyone interested in simplified bioinformatic workflows

[Lambert, Georgina M - (glambert)]

Hi all,
Please be aware that CyVerse is hosting a three day container camp next week that will provide hands on training on software containers - what they are good for, how to use them, and how to build your own. There are limited scholarships available for local (UofA) participants. Curious? See the advert below or their website at https://www.cyverse.org/cc

Thanks,
Andrew Nelson and Upendra Devisetty

CyVerse Container Camp



March 6, 7, 8, 2019

University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ



Container technologies are letting researchers easily share, scale, and reuse tools and workflows for all types of computational analyses.



Join us for an intensive three-day hands-on workshop to learn how to create, use, deploy and share software containers (e.g., Docker, Singularity) across a variety of computational systems from your laptop to cloud and HPC.



We will use a blend of practical theory and hands-on exercises where small groups deploy tools and workflows they bring to the workshop.



Participants are encouraged to bring their own data and analyses for containerization – come with basic command line skills (required) and leave with a running container! No experience with container technology needed.



Who should attend?

Any researcher seeking to exploit container technology to make their computational analyses easier and more reproducible. Must enjoy a collaborative, innovative environment. Preference is given to NSF BIO-funded PIs and early career researchers.



What will I learn?

·         How to understand and use container technology

·         How to containerize an application

·         How to use other containerized applications

·         How to build/deploy containerized workflows

·         How to scale out your computation: from laptop to cloud to HPC
