5.3 An Introduction to Singularity: Containers for Scientific and High-Performance Computing
Today's (last) session is quite short. So, I'd like to start with something a bit different --- a quick Zoom poll. I'm hoping this will help me both focus our discussion for the next 30 minutes or so on the most relavent topics for the most people AND to help me adjust my training material for future presentations.
Zoom poll questions:
- Do you know what a software container is? [ yes / no / idk ]
- Had you previously used a software container prior to this week? [ yes / no / idk ]
- Do you regularly use software containers as part of your work? [ yes / no / idk ]
- Have you previously developed and run your own custom software containers? [ yes / no ]
- What operating system do you use daily on your personal and/or work computer(s)? [ Linux / macOS / Windows / all of the above / none of the above ]
- Have you ever run your own Linux (virtual) machine? [ yes / no ]
- Have you seen The Matrix? [ yes / no / idk ]
