Availability of the Speaker<br>Let us know if there are times you CANNOT present,<br>prehaps because you need to leave for the airport early, etc.

I'm not sure about my availability on Thursday, so I'd prefer to present on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Summary (2-4 sentences)<br>Just a few informal sentences describing what you want to present.<br>No need to spend a lot of time on this! You can change it later.

GlideinWMS provisions resources using pilots in a distributed environment including batch systems, grids, clouds and HPC machines. The selective use of containerization like in Docker and Singularity provides new degrees of isolation and customization but also challenges.
I will talk about possible failures when containers are involved, ways to try to ensure a successful run for the jobs, and to match requests form the jobs and resource providers.
