Hypervisor "versus" Linux Containers!
Docker is an open-source engine that automates the deployment of any application as a lightweight, portable, self-sufficient container that will run virtually anywhere.
Less hardware, less pain and more scalability in production, on VMs, bare-metal servers, OpenStack clusters, public instances, or combinations of the above. "Do more with less " and this is all that matters!
Automation of server and applications deployments never had been so easy and fast that ever. Also brings produtivity to a new level, in the DataCenters and Cloud Environments.

As a Service: Cloud Foundry on OpenStack - Lessons LearntAnimesh Singh
According to OpenStack users survey, Cloud Foundry is the 2nd most popular workload on OpenStack. You want to deploy Cloud Foundry on OpenStack or already have. What's next?
Cloud Foundry continues to evolve with revolutionary changes, e.g move from bosh-micro to bosh-init, using the new eCPI, move to Diego etc.
Same with OpenStack, e.g changes from Keystone v2 to v3, from Liberty to Mitaka, network plugins changes etc. Both IaaS and PaaS layers are changing frequently. How do you do in-place updates/upgrades/operational tasks without impacting user experience at both the layers?
In this talk will discuss our lessons learnt operating hybrid Cloud Foundry deployments on top of OpenStack over the last two years and how we used underlying technologies to seamlessly operate them

Microservices with Terraform, Docker and the Cloud. IJug Chicago 2017-06-06Derek Ashmore
Much has been written about how to write Microservices, but not enough about how to effectively deploy and manage them. Microservices architecture multiplies the number of deployables IT has to manage by at least 10x. In that world, tooling to manage cloud deployments and related infrastructure becames essential for success. Terraform and Docker are increasingly being leveraged to facilitate microservice environments. Terraform has become becoming the leading coding framework for building and managing change in cloud environments.
Attendees will learn best practices for deploying and managing microservices in production. We will leverage true "infrastructure as code" using Terraform. That code is easily re-used and make changes easy. That code makes it easy to deploy and scale software including Docker images. You will learn not only how to establish that environment initially, but how changes can be effectively managed. I'll cover best practices and common mistakes along the way. AWS will be used as the cloud provider, but Terraform operates seemlessly on other cloud environments as well.
This session is targeted at architects and team leads. This session is intended to be platform-generic.
This was the deck I presented for a meetup organized by Software Circus.

BPM is a tool for improving business performance by providing a single description of business processes. Addressing security concerns requires linking actors, activities, and business objects dynamically. Business processes coordinate complex relationships between different enterprise artefacts like events, roles, rules and documents. Process and business object lifecycles must be aligned, with access control and permissions changing as work progresses through the lifecycles. Events can initiate changes in lifecycles or process instances.
This document provides an overview of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) model for component-based software engineering. It defines key concepts of CORBA like interface definition language (IDL) for defining interfaces, the object request broker (ORB) that enables communication between objects, and portable object adapters (POA) that make objects available to clients. It also discusses how CORBA supports location transparency, inheritance and exception handling between distributed objects. Code examples are given to demonstrate how to define CORBA interfaces and implement the client and server.
Docker & aPaaS: Enterprise Innovation and Trends for 2015WaveMaker, Inc.
WaveMaker Webinar: Cloud-based App Development and Docker: Trends to watch out for in 2015 - http://www.wavemaker.com/news/webinar-cloud-app-development-and-docker-trends/
CIOs, IT planners and developers at a growing number of organizations are taking advantage of the simplicity and productivity benefits of cloud application development. With Docker technology, cloud-based app development or aPaaS (Application Platform as a Service) is only becoming more disruptive − forcing organizations to rethink how they handle innovation, time-to-market pressures, and IT workloads.
The missing piece : when Docker networking and services finally unleashes so...Adrien Blind
Docker now provides several building blocks, combining engine, clustering, and componentization, while the new networking and service features enable many new usecases such as multi-tenancy. In this session, you will first discover the new experimental networking and service features expected soon, and then drift rapidly to software architecture, explaining how a complete Docker stack unleashes microservices paradigms.
The first part of the talk will introduce what SDNs and service registries are to the audience and will cover corresponding network & service experimental features of docker accordingly, with a technical focus. For instance, it explains how to create an overlay network of top of a swarm cluster or how to publish services.
The second part of the talk moves from infrastructure to application concerns, explaining that application architecture paradigms are shifting. In particular, we discuss the growing porosity of companies’s IS (especially due to massive use of cloud services) drifting security boundaries from the global IS perimeter, to the application shape. We also remind that traditional SOA patterns leveraging on buses (ie. ESBs & ETLs) are being replaced by microservices promoting more direct, full-mesh, interactions. To get the picture really complete, we’ll also rapidely remind other trends and shifts which are already covered by other docker components: scalability & resiliency to be supported by the apps themselves, fine-grained applications, or even infrastructure commoditization…
Most of all, the last part depicts a concrete, state-of-the-art application, applying all the properties discussed previously, and leveraging on a multi-tenant docker full stack using new networking and services features, in addition to traditional swarm, compose, and engine components. And just because we say it doesn’t mean it’s true, we’ll be happy to demonstrate this live !
Docker Meetup Paris: enterprise DockerArnaud MAZIN
This document discusses software management in the enterprise using Docker containers. It begins with an overview of a traditional software factory model and then examines how Docker could be integrated at various points, including the developer workstation, continuous integration servers, and production servers. Several example Docker-based platforms are described, along with considerations around configuration management and deployment orchestration. The key takeaways are that there is no single integration pattern and hybrid approaches may be needed, integration and topology tools are still maturing, and image-based deployments could initially be easier than rebuilding applications from source on each environment.
Better application architecture with #microservices and #BPM (as APaaS)Alexander SAMARIN
The document discusses using microservices and business process management (BPM) to improve application architecture. It addresses typical IT concerns like time-to-market, governance, and costs. The document recommends developing solutions as independently deployable microservices and refactoring existing systems into microservices. It also discusses challenges like defining microservice granularity and target application architectures when using microservices and BPM.
Common Object Request Broker Architecture - CORBAPeter R. Egli
CORBA is a distributed object technology standard that allows objects to communicate with one another regardless of programming language or location. It uses an Object Request Broker (ORB) to handle requests and responses between clients and servers. CORBA defines an Interface Definition Language (IDL) to specify object interfaces independently of programming languages. The IDL compiler then generates stub and skeleton code to enable communication. CORBA provides interoperability, location transparency, and other services to facilitate distributed object communication.
CORBA allows software components written in different languages and running on different machines to communicate. It defines IDL for language-neutral interfaces and an ORB that handles remote requests between clients and servers transparently. The presentation discusses CORBA concepts and architecture, including components like IDL, ORB, object adapters, and the interface repository that enable communication across heterogeneous systems.

Stay productive while slicing up the monolith Markus Eisele
DevNexus 2017
Microservices-based architectures are en-vogue. The last couple of
years we have learned how the thought-leaders implement them, and
every other week we have heard about how containers and
Platform-as-a-Service offerings make them ultimately happen.
The problem is that the developers are almost forgotten and left alone
with provisioning and continuous delivery systems, containers and
resource schedulers, and frameworks and patterns to help slice
existing monoliths. How can we get back in control and efficiently
develop them without having to provision complete production-like
environments locally, by hand?
All the new buzzwords, frameworks, and hyped tools have made us forget
ourselves—Java developers–and what it means to be productive and have
fun building systems. The problem that we set out to solve is: how can
we run real-world Microservices-based systems on our local development
machines, managing provisioning, and orchestration of potentially
hundreds of services directly from a single command line tool, without
sacrificing productivity enablers like hot code reloading and instant
turnaround time?
During this talk, you’ll experience first-hand how much fun it can be
to develop large-scale Microservices-based systems. You will learn a
lot about what it takes to fail fast and recover and truly understand
the power of a fully integrated Microservices development environment.
We are on the cusp of a new era of application development software: instead of bolting on operations as an after-thought to the software development process, Kubernetes promises to bring development and operations together by design.
This document summarizes Nicolas De Loof's talk about patterns for developing applications in the cloud. The talk discusses scaling applications horizontally and vertically, keeping stateless designs, using standards, and designing for failure. It also emphasizes continuous integration, deployment, and delivery practices like managing infrastructure as code and enabling zero downtime deployments.
Jelastic provides an advanced DevOps PaaS with Docker containers support, easy cloud management and flexible quotas system to help service providers to unleash the full potential of containers.

• Different operating models between public cloud providers and
private clouds
• No real private cloud infrastructure
• A Virtualized server infrastructure is not a private cloud
9. Keys to solve these challenges
Break up organizational silos
• Think in terms of products not projects
• Construct multidisciplinary teams around products
• Make Devs and Ops cooperate in these teams
• But also other business stake holders
10. Keys to solve these challenges
Align Dev and Ops objectives; increase customer satisfaction
• Error Budget = 100% Availability – Service Level Objective
• Use budget for
• Feature changes and functional regressions (Dev)
• Service Reliability Engineering (Ops)
• When the error budget is consumed
• New features must wait until the budget is recharged
• Only bug fixes go into production
11. Keys to solve these challenges
Construct an agile self-service infrastructure platform
18. Isolation using Linux Features
namespaces
• pid,
• mnt,
• net,
• uts,
• Ipc,
• user
cgroups
• memory
• cpu
• blkio
• devices
19. Docker appeals for its…
• Deployment Speed / Agility – minimal requirements for running the application,
enabling quick and lightweight deployment
• Portability – Independent self-sufficient application bundles
Run across machines without compatibility issues
• Reuse – Versioning, archiving, sharing, roll backs to previous versions of an
application. Platform configurations as code
• Efficiency - compared to classical virtualization, workloads can be run at higher
densities thanks to avoided OS overhead

20. Trade off … Speed vs. Isolation
• Shared kernel between containers
• OS-based isolation vs. hardware-based isolation in classical
virtualization
• Detractors often use this as argument for saying : “Docker is not safe”
21. Docker is not safe - well, Really ?
Are all your VMs 100% up to date? Really?
• VMs present a larger attack surface than Linux containers
• Contaminated containers can be quickly destroyed and restarted
• Docker tools allow for end to end security policy enforcement – for all
containers (layered build approach, build automation, security
scanning, trusted registries, container scheduling)
22. Trade off… Ephemeral vs. Stateful workloads
• Docker works best with stateless applications
• Every application must eventually persist its state (Databases)
• Additional efforts and planning is required when setting up a multi-node
production level Docker cluster
24. Isn’t this a bit like Java EE or OSGI ?
EARs, WARs, JARs package applications in deployment artifacts
• Middleware centric – you need an application server
• Limited to Java eco system
• Programming language lock-in
• Programming model lock-in (Java EE / OSGI)
• Also applies to more recent packaging formats, such as WebPacks
25. Ok but I’m already using Heroku…
• PaaS
• Build packs : Java, Node, Ruby,…
• Intuitive UI / UX … nice !
• Source code is held in the repository - no built artifact
• Docker
• Is a shipping format
• Can be used with Docker tool chain to build a more generic PaaS / CaaS
26. XaaS – Pyramid

34. Security Governance
Its like a virus scanner for built containers
• Can be integrated in your CI/CD pipeline
• Scans for threads in defined policy files and CVC databases
• Docker Security Scanning
• CoreOS Clair
• OpenSCAP container compliance
• Redhat Atomic Scan
• …

The scalable service pattern
40. Services, Routing and Load Balancing
The scalable service pattern
• Services scale instances of a container across the cluster
• Comprises a load balancer and an overlay network to connect
containers
• Allows things like rolling updates and rollbacks
• Exists in many schedulers: Kubernetes, Mesos…
• Was introduced in Docker V1.12 Swarm mode
• Not compatible with Docker Compose
• Requires new Distributed Application Bundle – still experimental
41. Services, Routing and Load Balancing
• Workaround prior to Docker 1.12 compatible with Compose V2
45. Persistent workloads

Volume plugin, distributed or externalized storage
46. Persistent workloads
• Usage of volume plugins is encouraged
• Decouples Product Teams from underlying storage solution
• Connect to external block storage (SAN, NAS, Cloud Provider Block
Storage)
• Network based file systems between Docker Hosts
• GlusterFS, Flocker, Infinit.sh, PortWorx, CEPH
47. PaaS style self service access
• For Product Teams
• Intuitive UI / UX experience
• Role based access (RBAC) integration with Enterprise IAM
• Groups, virtual environments
• Integrates with private repositories, CI/CD
• OpenShift, Rancher, Docker Datacenter…
49. Conclusion
• Docker = Linux Containers + a Complete toolset
• Large eco system (Kubernetes, MesoSphere, CoreOS, Rancher…)
• Orchestration engine choice depends on your use cases
• Limited risk on vendor lock-in: Docker Containers are de facto
standard
• Instead of growing your own cluster, see what the ecosystem can
provide
• Start small, grow steadily
