The document discusses the use of Kubernetes for managing Docker containers, emphasizing its advantages for both developers and administrators in terms of deployment and performance. It also outlines Kubernetes' features, including application scaling, load balancing, and resource monitoring. Additionally, it presents potential challenges with Kubernetes and Docker, and suggests recommended rollout scenarios based on resource specifications.

Running eZ Platform on Kubernetes (presented by Björn Dieding at eZ Conference 2016)
- 1. eZ Platform on Kubernetes Managing services running in Linux containers known as Docker technology
- 2. Björn Dieding (about me) Degree in computer science Working for over 13 years for my own company Doing technical and strategic advisory Believes open source is often the better choice.
- 3. xrow GmbH (about us) We plan and deliver content & commerce solutions and digital processes. We deploy applications in business critical environments and make them scale. We select, aggregate and integrate open source technology and combine them for the benefit of the client. Located in Hannover Germany Photo: Axel Hindemith
- 4. Virtual Maschines vs Docker Containers Source: Docker, Crisp Research 2014
- 5. Containers: Advantages for the developer • Save, clean and portable runtime for applications • Puts all the dependencies inside the container • Hassle-free deployments • Each application is an isolated and versioned container „Once it is build – it will run anywhere“
- 6. Container: Advantages for the administrator • There are no inconsistencies between test and production environments • Fast deployments (continuous deployment / continuous integration) • A standard format for developers to ship applications • Containers have better performance „Once configured – it runs everywhere“
- 7. Administrator: „Doctor Evil, containers will not run in your datacenter all alone. You would need Kubernetes to take care of them.“
- 9. What is it Kubernetes? • is a cluster management software • donated by Google and released as open source in 2014 • supported by Red Hat • it’s used as the base of Google’s Cloud Platform and Red Hat’s Open Shift • It`s users are SAP, EBAY, Wikimedia, New York Times “A platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts"
- 10. Cockpit
- 13. Features of Kubernetes • enabling composite applications and preserving the one-application-per- container model • mounting storage systems • distributing secrets • application health checking • replicating application instances • horizontal auto-scaling • naming and discovery • load balancing • rolling updates • resource monitoring • log access • support for introspection and debugging • identity and authorization
- 15. Kubernetes Dictionary POD Logical grouping of one or more containers Replication Controller Takes care that containers are properly distributed Namespace Grouping of PODs. Security barrier between applications. Node Physical or virtual maschine Service Is the loadblanced endpoint of one application. Master DevOps go there to bring change to the cluster. Label You can tag pods and services. Common labels are the version number, the project name or the application name. Scheduler The component that decides to which node a pod is bound. API Server The one and only Kubernetes API to which all parts of the software talk to it. Proxy The proxy knows how to route traffic, if users and services request data from services. Job A task that is executed also in paralell on many nodes.

Autodiscovery of services $url = "https://10.254.0.1:443/api/v1/namespaces/project123-prod/services"; $json = json_decode(file_get_contents($url)); $ip = $this->services->items["mariadb"]->spec->clusterIP; $container->setParameter("database_server", $ip ); • Read all services from the API • Set the proper parameters in your symfony application
- 20. PODs / Containers for a eZ platform • Mariadb • Memcached • SOLR • Postfix / SMTP • eZ platform webserver • eZ platform cron • Varnish (Optional)
- 21. Perils of Kubernetes / Docker • Filesystem wisely. They all have different features. • RENAME function is limited in AUFS and OverlayFS • Make sure the NFS is fast enough • Take your time to get used to all a new software pieces • Beware of kernels. Newer kernels have more features, but might be not as secure. • Clean up your systems regulary. Rotating containers leaves a lot of junk on disk. • Warm your caches before taking containers online. • Some apps still need to get configured per customer.
