Sumario: | The workshop on Container Technologies and Container Clouds (WoC'21) aims to create a space where researchers and practitioners can share their experiences and advance the container technologies. After six occurrences of the workshops, we are seeing a shift in the type of papers received. In the early occurrences of the workshop, the papers were mainly focused on comparing containers to virtual machines and trying to understand the benefits of the container technologies. Thereafter, we witnessed a change seeing papers targeting the container management systems (Kubernetes, Mesos, Swarm, etc.), and assess their capabilities in managing containers at large scale, and now we see papers targeting the use of containers to host machines learning workloads or using machine learning to better manage large scale systems of microservices deployed in containers. We believe that the container technologies will remain in play for years to come, and we will see more potential use cases and improvements.
