Docker does that? Five Docker capabilities you did not know about

September 23, 2026 11:00 – 11:30 · 30 min Stage 1

What this session covers

Most developers use Docker to package and ship an app, and that answer was complete five years ago. The toolchain has grown a lot. This talk walks through a normal working day and shows where the newer pieces fit.

  • Docker Sandboxes provide a trust boundary around your agents, protecting your filesystem, network access, and credentials.
  • Gordon, Docker’s built-in AI agent, sits right in the CLI and Desktop, ask it questions about your images, containers, best practices, and let it run the actions for you.
  • Testcontainers put a real database inside your test suite so you can stop maintaining mocks or using shared infrastructure.
  • Your base images can arrive already patched with Docker Hardened Images.
  • Docker Scout helps you know what’s in your images and even run policy evaluations to ensure your images meet the mark.

Everything in the talk is free to use, and most of it is already installed as part of your existing Docker setup.
