Agenda

● What is Docker and Why it matters● What are containers● The Docker ecosystem (Engine, Hub, etc.)● Deployment options and first steps● Docker 1.0, or 1.1, or 1.1.1

Whatis Docker

Whyit matters

Deploy everything

● Webapps● Backends● SQL, NoSQL● Big data● Message queues● … and more

Deploy almost everywhere

● Linux servers● VMs or bare metal● Any distro● Kernel 3.8+ (or RHEL 2.6.32)

Currently: focus on x86_64.

(But people reported success on arm.)

Deploy reliably & consistently

Deploy reliably & consistently

● If it works locally, it will work on the server● With exactly the same behavior● Regardless of versions● Regardless of distros● Regardless of dependencies

Deploy efficiently

● Containers are lightweight– Typical laptop runs 10-100 containers easily

– Typical server can run 100-1000 containers

● Containers can run at native speeds– Lies, damn lies, and other benchmarks:

Infiniband throughput and latency:no difference at all

Booting 15 OpenStack VMs:KVM vs Docker

Memory speed:Bare Metal vs Docker vs KVM

OK, but what is

Docker?

Docker runs containers.

OK, but what is a

container?

High level approach:it's a lightweight VM

● Own process space● Own network interface● Can run stuff as root● Can have its own /sbin/init

(different from the host)

« Machine Container »

Low level approach:it's chroot on steroids

● Can also not have its own /sbin/init● Container = isolated process(es)● Share kernel with host● No device emulation (neither HVM nor PV)

« Application Container »

Stop.Demo time.

Alright, I get this.Containers = nimble Vms.

Let's just tell the CFO,and get back to work!

What happens when something becomes

10-100x cheaper?

Random example:testing

● Project X has 100 unit tests● Each test needs a pristine SQL database

Random example:testing

● Project X has 100 unit tests● Each test needs a pristine SQL database

● Plan A: spin up 1 database, clean after each use– If we don't clean correctly, random tests will fail

– Cleaning correctly can be expensive (e.g. reload DB)

Random example:testing

● Project X has 100 unit tests● Each test needs a pristine SQL database

● Plan B: spin up 100 databases– … in parallel: needs too much resources

– … one after the other: takes too long

Random example:testing

● Project X has 100 unit tests● Each test needs a pristine SQL database

● Plan C: spin up 100 databases in containers– fast, efficient (no overhead, copy-on-write)

– easy to implement without virtualization black belt

Containers make testing(and many other things)

way easier

Separation of concerns:Dave the Developer

● Inside my container:– my code

– my libraries

– my package manager

– my app

– my data

Separation of concerns:Oscar the Ops guy

● Outside the container:– logging

– remote access

– network configuration

– monitoring

Docker's Entourage

Docker: the cast

● Docker Engine● Docker Hub● Docker, the community● Docker Inc, the company

Docker Engine

● Open Source engine to commoditize LXC● Uses copy-on-write for quick provisioning● Written in Go, runs as a daemon, comes with a CLI● Everything exposed through a REST API● Allows to build images in standard, reproducible way● Allows to share images through registries● Defines standard format for containers

(stack of layers; 1 layer = tarball+metadata)

… Open Source?

● Nothing up the sleeve, everything on the table– Public GitHub repository: https://github.com/dotcloud/docker

– Bug reports: GitHub issue tracker

– Mailing lists: docker-user, docker-dev (Google groups)

– IRC channels: #docker, #docker-dev (Freenode)

– New features: GitHub pull requests (see CONTRIBUTING.md)

– Docker Governance Advisory Board (elected by contributors)

Docker Hub

Collection of services to make Docker more useful.● Public registry

(push/pull your images for free)● Private registry

(push/pull secret images for $)● Automated builds

(link github/bitbucket repo; trigger build on commit)● More to come!

Docker, the community

● >500 contributors● ~20 core maintainers● >8,000 Dockerized projects on GitHub● >20,000 repositories on Docker Hub● >250 meetups in >90 cities in >30 countries● >500,000 downloads of boot2docker

Docker Inc, the company

● Headcount: ~50● Led by Open Source veteran Ben Golub

(GlusterFS)● Revenue:

– t-shirts and stickers featuring the cool blue whale

– SAAS delivered through Docker Hub

– Support & Training

Using Docker

One-time setup

● On your dev env (Linux, OS X, Windows)– boot2docker (25 MB VM image)

– Natively (if you run Linux)

● On your servers (Linux)– Packages (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch...)

– Single binary install (Golang FTW!)

– Easy provisioning on Rackspace, Digital Ocean, EC2, GCE...

– Special distros: CoreOS, Project Atomic

Summary

With Docker, I can:● put my software in containers● run those containers anywhere● write recipes to automatically build containers

Advanced concepts

● naming– give a unique name to your containers

● links– connect containers together

● volumes– separate code and data

– share data between containers

Recent features: 0.10

● TLS support for API access● Configurable DNS search● BTRFS is no longer experimental● Integration with systemd cgroups● Use proxy environment variables (for registry)

Recent features: 0.11

● SELinux integration(works better with CentOS)

● DNS integration for links(access linked containers by hostname)

● « docker run --net »– use host networking for high speed

– share network of another container

Recent features: 0.12

● docker pause/unpause● more importantly: 1.0 release candidate :-)

Docker 1.1

● .dockerignore(don't upload your .git anymore!)

● docker logs --tail– further logging improvements on the way

(truncate)

Coming soon(maybe)

● logging improvements● device access● device mapper tuning● image squashing● ARM support● use secrets in builds

● volume management● hairpin nat● IPV6 support● capabilities fine-tuning● seccomp + native● user namespaces
