DESCRIPTION:Contents\nSince the introduction of docker back in 2013\, cont
 ainer technology has become the industry standard for software packaging\,
  distribution\, and deployment.Creating a container consists in bundling a
 n application\, its dependencies and runtime in a single unit that can lat
 er run independently of the underlying infrastructure. Unlike virtual mach
 ines\, containers are lightweight and yield higher performances while prov
 iding greater versatility and interoperability. As containers accommodate 
 an easy\, safe\, reliable\, and scalable way to run applications and pipel
 ines\, they are an attractive candidate for high performance computing and
  artificial intelligence workloads.With this module\, we will showcase the
  most enticing features and niceties offered by containers. Not only will 
 we explore their history and implementations\, but we will also dive into 
 actual and cutting edge uses with a particular emphasis on artificial inte
 lligence tasks\, reproducible biomedical pipelines\, and automated workflo
 ws.Participants will roll up their sleeves and get their hands on the comp
 ute cloud of LRZ to set containers in action. By the end of the course\, p
 articipants will be able to transfer their experience and knowledge to the
 ir specific use-cases and requirements.\nThree content blocks of roughly o
