- 4. Virtualization vs Docker Interest over Time Virtualization Docker Google Trends: 5y from 23 Oct, 2016
- 5. Rolling Out Docker For Production = Hard
- 10. Luckily for us, there are some solutions!
- 14. Do you really want to build this by yourself?
- 16. Creating Your Own Container Platform is Hard! • Don’t do it! Seriously, you don’t want to do it! The only valid reasons to go for DIY platform 1. Use the experience to learn all the nasty parts of container technology 2. You are doing something so special that it does not work with any of the existing solutions 3. Get into container platform business
- 17. Let’s create a container platform! How’s Kontena created? What components does it contain? Getting Perspective:
- 18. Example: Kontena Container Platform Kontena Grid A number of physical or virtual machines – Kontena Nodes – create a Kontena Grid. The nodes may be located anywhere; in single data center, different AZs or different cloud providers. Overlay Network Kontena will automatically create an overlay network powered by Weave and connect all nodes of a Grid. Overlay network enable services to communicate with each other in multi-host, multi-AZ environment. Service Discovery Kontena has a built-in service discovery powered by etcd. It is used to automatically assign DNS addresses for any services running in Kontena. It is also used by Kontena’s load balancer for zero-downtime operation. Orchestration Kontena’s orchestrator is distributing, running and monitoring all Kontena Services in a Grid. Services may be stateless or stateful, and they are automatically distributed across Nodes in a Grid. Containerized Workloads With Kontena, all containerized workloads are described as Services. Kontena Service is composed of containers based on the same image file. Services may be scaled and linked together to create complex elastic apps. OS Docker Kontena Nodes & Agent Kontena Agent may be installed to any machine capable of running Docker. It is running as a privileged container in a machine. Kontena Master Kontena Master is orchestrating the entire Kontena system. It provides APIs used by Kontena CLI, Web UI and third party integrations. Kontena Master may be installed as high-availability setup if needed.
- 20. Works on any infrastructure! Kontena works on any public cloud or in your own private datacenter; hybrid environment, virtualized or bare metal.
- 21. We have 1k+ members in 35 Meetup groups globally The Community Effort
- 22. Summary about Kontena Project • The Kontena platform development started in the beginning of 2015. It’s almost 2 years now! • Over the past 2 years we have • Written nearly 50K lines of code • Released 78 releases • Had 1991 commits from 30 contributors • Closed 309 issues • Processed feedback from hundreds of end users and projects depending on Kontena Please use this info as reference when thinking if you should start creating your own container platform J
- 25. So, how to choose the right platform? • There is no single platform that everybody should be using • All of the platforms and solutions are still “in progress” • Don’t trust any of the advertised features! • Don’t get carried away by hype! • Only way to choose the right platform is to try them out • While testing, try to think what is the total cost of ownership for that platform! Happy platform hunting!
