Video: Shifter – Containers in HPC environments

"Containers wrap up software with all its dependencies in packages that can be executed anywhere. This can be specially useful in HPC environments where, often, getting the right combination of software tools to build applications is a daunting task. However, typical container solutions such as Docker are not a perfect fit for HPC environments. Instead, Shifter is a better fit as it has been built from the ground up with HPC in mind. In this talk, we show you what Shifter is and how to leverage from the current Docker environment to run your ap- plications with Shifter."
