Virtualization Night: Fun with Containers
Join us for an evening focused on container fundamentals with a deep dive into Docker. Whether you're new to containers or looking to sharpen your home-lab skills, this session will walk through building, running, and securing containers and lay the groundwork for hands-on labs at future meetups.
What you'll learn:
What containers actually are and how they differ from virtual machines:
Images vs. containers, the Docker CLI, and running your first containerHow to pull, run, and manage containers:
Working with Docker Hub images, mapping ports, and controlling the container lifecycleHow to build your own image with a Dockerfile:
Layers, tags, and containerizing a simple application you run yourselfContainer security best practices:
Using trusted images, avoiding root, keeping images minimal and patched, handling secrets, and scanning for known vulnerabilities

Virtualization Night: Getting Hands-On with VirtualBox
Join us for an evening focused on virtualization fundamentals with a deep dive into Oracle's VirtualBox. Whether you're new to hypervisors or looking to sharpen your home-lab skills, this session will walk through setting up, securing, and networking virtual machines and lay the groundwork for hands-on labs at future meetups.
What you'll learn:
How virtual networking works in VirtualBox: virtual switches, NAT vs. bridged vs. host-only modes, and how VMs talk to each other and the outside world
Secure configuration best practices for virtualized environments: hardening the hypervisor, isolating VM networks, managing snapshots, and controlling access
How to build and maintain a virtualization setup that's ready to host future lab exercises, so you can follow along with hands-on sessions at upcoming events

Overview
Overview
In this session, we'll explore the fundamentals of virtualization with a hands-on focus on VMware.
**Virtualization with VMware**
In this session, we'll explore the fundamentals of virtualization with a hands-on focus on VMware. Participants will learn how to build, network, and securely configure virtual machines — and set up an environment that will serve as the foundation for hands-on labs at future sessions.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Configure virtual networking in VMware — including virtual switches and bridged, NAT, and host-only modes — and understand how virtual machines communicate with each other, the host, and external networks.
Apply secure configuration practices to a virtualized environment, including hypervisor hardening, VM isolation and network segmentation, and snapshot and access management.
Build and maintain a working VMware setup on their own hardware, ready to host guided lab exercises at future events.
Additional Information
Snacks and refreshments will be provided on-site.
