Hardware virtualization or platform
virtualization refers to the creation of a
virtual machine that acts like a real
computer with an operating system.
Software executed on these virtual
machines is separated from the underlying
hardware resources.
What is virtualization?
Cloud infrastructure providers like Amazon Web Service sell virtual
machines. EC2 revenue is expected to surpass $1B in revenue this year.
That's a lot of VMs…
Why should i care?
Increase
+ efficiency
+ availability
+ security
Reduce
- costs
- hardware
- energy
Virtual Machine platforms
➢ We are also paying for lot of
avoidable overhead.
➢ The Virtual Machine is a full-blown
operating system image.
➢ This is a heavyweight solution to
run applications in the cloud.
The sad Virtual Machine story...
What is the solution?
Containers used to be terrible, but not anymoreContainers used to be terrible, but not anymore
A new concept, a new hope
Because LXC is ready to roll!
On any recent Linux Kernel near you!

Virtual Machines vs Containers
Virtualization and
paravirtualization
require a full
operating system
image for each
instance.

Virtual Machines vs Containers
Containers can
share a single
Linux Kernel and,
optionally, other
binary and library
resources.
The time to provision

chroot /target
but that had no resource and security isolation goals
for multi-tenant designs...

resources
cgroups
Control Groups provide a mechanism for aggregating/partitioning sets
of tasks, and all their future children, into hierarchical groups with
specialized behaviour.

Note : Before booting a new kernel, you can check its configuration
usage : CONFIG=/path/to/config /usr/bin/lxc-checkconfig
LXC on Ubuntu
Since Ubuntu 12.04, containers are constrained by apparmor by default
- /usr/bin/lxc-start is automatically transitioned to its own profile, where it is only allowed to mount into the
container’s tree.
- The default policy attempts to protect the host from accidental container abuses – such as writing to /proc/sysrq-
trigger and /proc/mem,
- Each container configuration can specify a custom profile.
On Ubuntu 13.04
- We are able to exploit user namespaces and support stacked apparmor profiles
- Apport hooks for better debug support,
- Greater scriptability by providing a liblxc api.
By 14.04
User namespace should support container use by unprivileged users.

Wait…
I don’t have to use
heavy virtualboxes?
Let’s start with Vagrant
and puppetize it!
You just need that guy
You will get:
1. Drupal (latest version)
2. Nginx
3. Php + php-fpm
4. Mysql
5. Phpmyadmin
6. xhprof
7. xdebug
8. composer
https://github.com/ricardoamaro/drupal-lxc-vagrant-docker
My contribution to Drupal Containers
Install latest Vagrant from: http://downloads.vagrantup.com/tags/v1.2.7 or later.
Install lxc + redir.
sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.2.7_x86_64.deb
sudo apt-get install lxc redir
Vagrant LXC (demo) - Install
Get the code from:
https://github.com/ricardoamaro/drupal-lxc-vagrant-docker
git clone git@github.com:ricardoamaro/drupal-lxc-vagrant-docker.
git
cd ~/drupal-lxc-vagrant-docker
1 - Clone the code
vagrant plugin install vagrant-lxc
vagrant up --provider=lxc
sudo lxc-ls --fancy
# redirect port 80 to the host
sudo redir --lport=80 --cport=80 --caddr={container ip} &
# and/or edit the /etc/hosts file with:
${IP} drupal phpmyadmin xhprof
2 - Get the plugin & deploy
Now…
I have to
buildthis
every time?
Automate drupal deployments with linux containers, docker and vagrant
use Docker
Docker Who??
this Docker
and ship them has containers
Ship containers? Build Once, Run Anywhere
Install docker:
sudo apt-get -y install docker
curl get.docker.io | sudo sh -x
Import container to docker:
sudo tar -C /var/lib/lxc/{container name}/rootfs/ -c . | sudo
docker import - dev/drupal
Start docker:
sudo docker run -i -t -p :80 dev/drupal /bin/bash
The image is already pushed to https://index.docker.io, and can be pulled using:
sudo docker pull ricardoamaro/drupal
You can ship your image into a Docker container
https://github.com/ricardoamaro/docker-drupal
https://github.com/ricardoamaro/docker-drupal-nginx
Or... build it the Docker way:
Automate drupal deployments with linux containers, docker and vagrant
the Commands:
attach Attach to a running container
commit Create a new image from a container's changes
diff Inspect changes on a container's filesystem
export Stream the contents of a container as a tar archive
history Show the history of an image
images List images
import Create a new filesystem image from the contents of a tarball
info Display system-wide information
inspect Return low-level information on a container
kill Kill a running container
login Register or Login to the docker registry server
logs Fetch the logs of a container
port Lookup the public-facing port which is NAT-ed to PRIVATE_PORT
ps List containers
pull Pull an image or a repository to the docker registry server
push Push an image or a repository to the docker registry server
restart Restart a running container
rm Remove a container
rmi Remove an image
run Run a command in a new container
start Start a stopped container
stop Stop a running container
tag Tag an image into a repository
version Show the docker version information
wait Block until a container stops, then print its exit code
The docker is awesome!
the Api
http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/api/registry_index_spec/
the Registry
http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/api/index_api/
Docker on Docker (v0.6)
Container layers to be used for hosting applications
Continuous Deployments & Development
Changes to the container can be committed
to the central index or rolled back
Just commit the good apples
Openstack and Docker...
The future has a bonus extra:
http://blog.docker.io/2013/06/openstack-docker-manage-linux-containers-with-nova/
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Docker
“Nova is intended to be modular and easy to extend and adapt. It supports many
different hypervisors (KVM and Xen to name a few), different database backends
(SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL, for instance), different types of user
databases (LDAP or SQL), etc.”
And it supports Docker containers!
This project is open-source and available at:
https://github.com/dotcloud/openstack-docker.
...with the Nova driver
Develop the box in layers
Use only one Linux Kernel
Deploy quickly
Build Once, Run Anywhere
Awesomeness!
