MiCADO - Auto-scaling Framework for Docker Containers, orchestrated by Kubernetes
0 likes358 views
Micado is an open-source, customizable multi-cloud orchestration and auto-scaling framework for Docker containers, designed to enhance the adoption of cloud services for SMEs and the public sector. Funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program, Micado supports application-level auto-scaling and is compatible with major cloud providers such as AWS and Azure. The framework enables efficient resource utilization and cost optimization by dynamically managing resource demands and is backed by a consortium of companies and research organizations across Europe.

It particuarly aims to incre- ase the adoption of cloud computing services by SMEs and the public sector. Typical industry and public sector applications re- quire resource scalability and efficient resource utilisation in order to serve a variable number of customers with dynamic resource de- mands, and to suitably optimise resource consumption and costs. Project COLA is an Innovation Action funded by the European Commission as part of the Horizon2020 Programme. It started in January 2017 and lasts 33 months. The consortium includes 10 companies and 4 research organisations from 6 European countries, including the United Kingdom, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain and Germany.

MiCADO Master is con- figured as the Kubernetes Master Node and has installed the Docker Engine, Occopus (to scale VMs), Prometheus (for monitoring), Policy Keeper (to perform decision on scaling) and Submitter (to provide submission endpoint) microservices to realise the autoscaling control loops. The application is deployed with an ADT, Application Describti- on Template (yaml-file), and provides as IaC (Infrastructure as Code) all relevant information to roll out the application cluster framework. During operation MiCADO workers (realised on new VMs) are in- stantiated on demand which deploy Prometheus, Node Expor- ter and CAdvisor as Kubernetes DaemonSets and the Docker en- gine through contextualisation. The newly instantiated MiCADO workers join the Kubernetes cluster managed by the MiCADO Master. MiCADO is open-source: scan the code, visit our community on micado-scale.eu and discover demos, tutorials, publications and training sessions, developed by the Univer- sity of Westminster and MTA SZTAKI. Feel free to test MiCADO, adjust it, make it better and share your changes with the community. MiCADO‘s code is hosted on GitHub and the documentation is provided on Read the Docs.
