# Building a Better Tomorrow: Tips and Tricks for Docker Builds


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 9, 2026
- **Time:** 10:30–12:30 (120 min)
- **Room:** Room R2 (30 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe

## Description

Container are a fundamental building block of DevOps operations, yet building them efficiently and securely can be a burden: Often developers don’t know about the platforms’ security constraints, baseline configuration, and expected behavior, while DevOps teams lack domain knowledge regarding the frameworks and languages in use. The result: insecure or bloated containers!

In this hands-on, 2h workshop, we will take a look at common scenarios for containerized applications, and improve them bit by bit, taking a good look at tools available to us in the cloud-native container world.

Participants can expect to get a good understanding of easily applicable actions to trim and secure container images, gain insights throughout the building process, and learn how to get their applications from their machines to production.
