Agenda today

• Abstracting R applications into the Cloud using Docker (10min)
• Demo on what that abstraction offers (10 min)
• My evolving mindset for using R/Docker/Cloud (10 min)
• Any questions? (10 min)

What is..?

Docker - a container system for building and sharing applications

Cloud - computing delivered via the internet, not locally

What does serverless offer?

Serverless - cloud services that often use containers to host applications without configuring servers

• Focus on code, not dev-ops
• Scale from 0 to billions
• Reliability and security
• Abstraction

Climbing up the R pyramid

Climbing up the Cloud pyramid

The keystone

• R - abstraction of R environments
• Cloud - run any code on cloud systems

Docker + R = R in Production

• Flexible No need to ask IT to install R places, use docker run; across cloud platforms; ascendent tech

• Version controlled No worries new package releases will break code

• Scalable Run multiple Docker containers at once, fits into event-driven, stateless serverless future

Docker levels the playing ground between languages in the cloud

Useful R Docker images

• rocker/r-ver
• rocker/rstudio
• rocker/tidyverse
• rocker/shiny
• rocker/ml-gpu
