The Workshop

Selenoid is an alternative lightning fast open-source Selenium protocol implementation running browsers and Android emulators inside Docker containers. It is distributed with a set of ready-to-use Docker images corresponding to the majority of popular browser versions, has a one-command installation utility and works slightly more efficiently than traditional Selenium Grid.

This full-day workshop shows how to build efficient and scalable browser automation infrastructure using Selenoid and related tools. You will be taught why running browsers in containers is so efficient, how to easily install Selenoid and use its powerful features.

The Trainer

Roman Orlov
 
Roman Orlov is part of the Aerokube team, with more than 10 years of DevOps and SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) background. He is also a Python and Golang developer, and in the last 5 years Roman also develops the QA infrastructure, maintaining a big Selenium cluster with millions of Selenium sessions being run every day. Developing new ways to make Selenium fast and reliable is part of Roman's daily duties. Roman has successfully completed a number of workshops in various countries, and he is in Bulgaria to tell us about Selenoid, Moon and how to run and maintain Selenium tests at scale.
