This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the first ever [DevConf US 2018](https://devconf.info/us/), which is the 1st annual, free, [Red Hat](https://redhat.com/) sponsored technology conference for community project and professional contributors to Free and Open Source technologies at the Boston University in the historic city of Boston, USA.
This was a technical conference in its truest sense, with a lot very technical talks. One of the main tracks was “Containers and orchestration” and there was no shortage of great talks. Here, I am going to highlight a few which I attended or presented.
Combined, these talks provide insight into where Red Hat is investing, experimenting and where individuals are excited to contribute.
First, **Container Security: So Many Options, Use Them All!** highlighted many of the new security features in [Podman](https://github.com/containers/libpod), [Buildah](https://github.com/projectatomic/buildah) and [Skopeo](https://github.com/containers/skopeo) by Urvashi Mohnani ([@umohnani8](https://twitter.com/umohnani8)) and Sally O’Malley ([@somalley108](https://twitter.com/somalley108)):

Forth, **Container Linux and RHEL; the road ahead** is a great overview of how Container Linux and Atomic Host are merging to become Fedora CoreOS and Red Hat CoreOS, with a strong focus on being managed as a resource within the Kubernetes cluster, by Colin Walters ([@cgwalters](https://twitter.com/cgwalters)).

There were tons of awesome talks, but I wanted to highlight a few from our container runtimes team at Red Hat. Hopefully you enjoy them, and feel free to follow some of these great engineers!
