Orca: Nocode Graphical Editor for Container Orchestration
0 likes52 views
The document discusses a no-code graphical editor for container orchestration aimed at non-technical users, addressing barriers such as technical knowledge and complexity. The goals include lowering the entry barrier and increasing the user base by five times, particularly targeting citizen developers. The proposed solution involves a graphical domain-specific language (DSL) to simplify container orchestration, complete with features like drag-and-drop functionality and validation for configurations.

- 1. ORCA La Coruña - CEDI / JISBD / 2024.06.18 DR. PEDRO J. MOLINA @pmolinam No-code Graphical Editor for Container Orchestration
- 3. Problem Stament ▪ Non-technicalusers found anentry barrier to use Container Orchestration Main reasons: ▪ Lack of technicalknowledge ▪ Complexity of the domain ▪ Unfamiliar with YAML documents(very fragile with respect to spacing)
- 4. Problem version: "3.9" services: web: build: . ports: - "8000:5000" redis: image: "redis:alpine" mongo: image: "mongo:3.4"

- 6. Goals ▪ Lowering the entry barrier ▪ Focus on making it as simpleas possiblefor them to enroll them on-board ▪ Increase the user base x 5: ▪ target → Citizen Developers(getting used to Lowcode/Nocode tools)
- 7. Solution How: ▪ Providing a graphical DSL able to configure a container orchestration ▪ Providing a palette of frequently used containers ▪ Using Drag & Drop to add them ▪ Edit properties in a more friendly way ▪ Providing validation to check the configuration is valid ▪ Generating Docker Swarm & k8s conf. files as needed (in roadmap) ▪ Deploying the configuration pressing a button
- 8. Value Proposition ▪ Build a DSL based editor for simplifying orchestration for Docker ▪ Explore graphical editors / no-code environments ▪ Integrate with AI tools for contextual content generation
