We are racing toward the finish line at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, March 19 – 22, 2024 in Paris, France. Join the Docker “pit crew” at Booth #J3 for an incredible racing experience, new product demos, and limited-edition SWAG.
Meet us at our KubeCon booth, sessions, and events to learn about the latest trends in AI productivity and best practices in cloud-native development with Docker. At our KubeCon booth (#J3), we’ll show you how building in the cloud accelerates development and simplifies multi-platform builds with a side-by-side demo of Docker Build Cloud. Learn how Docker and Testcontainers Cloud provide a seamless integration within the testing framework to improve the quality and speed of application delivery.
It’s not all work, though — join us at the booth for our Megennis Motorsport Racing experience and try to beat the best!
Take advantage of this opportunity to connect with the Docker team, learn from the experts, and contribute to the ever-evolving cloud-native landscape. Let’s shape the future of cloud-native technologies together at KubeCon!
Deep dive sessions from Docker experts
Is Your Image Really Distroless?— Docker software engineer Laurent Goderre will dive into the world of “distroless” Docker images on Wednesday, March 20. In this session, Goderre will explain the significance of separating build-time and run-time dependencies to enhance container security and reduce vulnerabilities. He’ll also explore strategies for configuring runtime environments without compromising security or functionality. Don’t miss this must-attend session for KubeCon attendees keen on fortifying their Docker containers.
Simplified Inner and Outer Cloud Native Developer Loops— Docker Staff Community Relations Manager Oleg Šelajev and Diagrid Customer Success Engineer Alice Gibbons tackle the challenges of developer productivity in cloud-native development. On Wednesday, March 20, they will present tools and practices to bridge the gap between development and production environments, demonstrating how a unified approach can streamline workflows and boost efficiency across the board.

Read about what rolled out in Docker Desktop 4.27, including synchronized file shares, Docker Init GA, a private marketplace for extensions, Moby 25, support for Testcontainers with ECI, Docker Build Cloud, and Docker Debug Beta.
We’ve had an exciting year at Docker, with loads of product news and announcements. Don’t worry if you couldn’t keep up with the pace of our news and product releases. We’ve rounded up highlights from 2023 and look ahead to how we plan to stay the #1 most-used developer tool as we roll into 2024.
Docker milestones & performance improvements
Docker Desktop updates
We’ve been hard at work enhancing Docker Desktop this year. Among the notable highlights:
Docker Desktop 4.26: Rosetta, PHP Init, Builds View GA, Admin Enhancements, and Docker Desktop Image for Microsoft Dev Box
Docker Desktop 4.25: Enhancements to Docker Desktop on Windows, Rosetta for Linux GA, and New Docker Scout Image Analysis Settings
Download the latest Docker Desktop release to take advantage of the performance improvements.
Simplifying software supply chain management
We’ve simplified software supply chain management for developers with Docker Scout. Docker Scout policies enable teams to identify, prioritize, and fix their software quality issues at the point of creation to meet their organization’s reliability and security standards while accelerating the speed of execution and innovation.
Docker Build Early Access Program: Docker Build speeds up builds by as much as 39 times by automatically taking advantage of large, on-demand cloud-based servers and team-wide build caching.
Resource Saver GA release: With Resource Saver, Docker Desktop uses minimal system resources when it’s idle, letting you save battery life on your laptop and improve your multitasking experience.
Docker Compose Watch GA release: Watch, available in Compose 2.22 and later, lets you automatically update and preview your running Compose services as you edit and save your code.
Docker Init Beta release:docker init, a new command-line interface (CLI) command introduced as a beta feature, simplifies the process of adding Docker to a project.
Builds view GA release: The new Builds view in Docker Desktop provides detailed insight into your build performance and usage. Get a live view of your builds as they run, explore previous build performance, and dive deep into an error and cache issue.
2023 will be known as the year of AI/ML. For 2024, our investments in AI promise to bring new services and functionality to Docker customers. Recent announcements include:
GenAI Stack: At DockerCon, with partners Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama, we announced a new GenAI Stack. We have brought together the top technologies in the generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) space to build a solution that allows developers to deploy a full GenAI stack with only a few clicks.
Docker AI: Docker’s first AI-powered product promises to boost developer productivity by tapping into the universe of Docker developer wisdom to provide context-specific, automated guidance to developers as they work. Sign up for early access now.
In December, we were excited to welcome AtomicJar, the makers of Testcontainers, to the Docker family. “Docker already accelerates the ‘inner loop’ app development steps — build, verify (through Docker Scout), run, debug, and share — and now, with AtomicJar and Testcontainers, we’re adding ‘test,’” explains Docker CEO Scott Johnston. As a result, developers using Docker will be able to deliver quality applications faster and with less effort. Read our announcement blog post and FAQ to learn more about AtomicJar and Testcontainers.
Mutagen joins Docker
In June, we announced the acquisition of Mutagen, the company behind the open source Mutagen file synchronization and networking technologies that enable high-performance remote development. The Mutagen File Sync feature of Docker Desktop takes file sharing to new heights with up to a 16.5x improvement in performance. To try it and help influence Docker’s future, sign up for the Docker Desktop Preview Program.
In October at DockerCon, Docker and Udemy announced a partnership to offer developers accessible learning paths to further their Docker education. Read the announcement blog post to learn more about what we’ve planned.
