- 8. What is Cloud Native? The term cloud native describes how an application is developed and delivered. Cloud native applications work with standardized open-source technologies that enable seamless migration and cooperation between different cloud vendors and on-premise data-centers equipped with cloud native technologies such as Docker, containerd, Kubernetes and so on. 8
- 9. Why Docker and Kubernetes are so popular? 9 Speed & Agility of Innovation with Docker & Kubernetes
- 10. Docker 10 ● Packaging applications into container images ● Container images are run on the container engine to become running containers ● Containers are standardized executable components that combine the application code with an OS and all dependant libraries ● Solves dependency management and configuration problems ● Enables easy vertical scaling
- 11. Kubernetes ● Kubernetes is a container orchestrator ● It provides mechanisms for organizing, automating, securing and scaling containers ● It has flexible design and it’s actively worked on to fit different usage scenarios 11
- 12. Why are Containers and Kubernetes so Popular? ● Streamlined promotion between development, staging and production environments. ● Fits agile ways of working ● Applications can be broken down and deployed as separate components ● Different components can be managed by different teams ● Horizontally and vertically scalable ● Managed infrastructure (on-premise, cloud, edge and mixed) 12

- 14. Kubernetes for the Cloud 14 Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service Google Kubernetes Engine Azure Kubernetes Service - AKS Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK)
- 15. Cloud vendors services 15 Google Cloud BigQuery Google Cloud IoT Core Google Cloud SQL Cloud vendors typically offer fully managed open-source or proprietary applications to gain competitive advantage. Internally, cloud vendors utilize Kubernetes to provide these managed solutions.
- 16. Kubernetes for the Edge ● CNCF has dedicated working group for bringing Kubernetes to the Edge ● Lightweight Kubernetes distributions ○ K3s (CNCF Sandbox) ○ Microk8s (CNCF Member project) ● Edge Computing Platforms ○ KubeEdge (CNCF Incubated) ○ Eclipse ioFog ● High performant data and metrics collectors and transformators ○ Prometheus (CNCF Graduated) ○ Fluentd (CNCF Graduated) ○ Apache Kafka 16
- 17. Moving to containers and Kubernetes: How and Why 17 Speed & Agility of Innovation with Docker & Kubernetes
- 18. 18 Moving to containers and Kubernetes: How and Why Before making a switch, beware of the pros and cons ● Pros: ● Future-proof and flexible infrastructure ● Streamlined environment management ● Easy CI/CD Integration ● Cons: ● Might require refactoring parts of the application ● Learning curve to go through ● Change in how people might be comfortable working
- 19. 19 Moving to containers and Kubernetes: How and Why ● Moving to Kubernetes can be done incrementally based on the application API
- 20. Docker for Qt Development 20 Speed & Agility of Innovation with Docker & Kubernetes
- 21. 21 Docker for Qt Development ● Docker distributes and updates systems ○ Qt applications and development require a number fairly complex systems ■ Application build system ■ Embedded OS build system ■ Application runtime system ○ Docker containers can help you manage these systems
- 22. 22 Application Runtime ● Most obvious usage for Docker containers however, ○ Qt has packaging solutions for most major platforms. ○ Qt itself has very few external dependencies (ships most dependencies) ● Embedded systems get the most benefit ○ Tightly controlled versioning 3rd party libraries ■ Run Yocto 3.0, but need different versions of various libraries ● Newer or older. Including Qt.
- 23. 23 Docker Containers on Embedded Systems ● Some vendors support containers out of the box for Yocto or Buildroot. ○ See Toradex Torizon Distribution ■ With containers hierarchies. Qt w/ Wayland out of the box! ○ Tightly controlled library and database dependencies ○ Easy OTA update scheme ○ Helps you avoid Yocto black magic. ■ At least for shipping your Qt application. ■ Device drives not included.
- 24. 24 Containerized Build Environments ● Controlled build environments can save you a lot of time. Usual scenario: ■ Lengthy document describing how to install everything to build ● Get Qt, device SDK, valgrind, other tools, 3rd party libraries ● Usually everyone has forgotten some minor details that derails a new hire’s 1st couple of days. ● Even after this you are “pretty sure” everyone’s build environment is the same. ● And the CI server is “probably” the same as the developer’s machines. ○ No worse phrase than “It works for me.” ○ Who else has spent time shelled into a build agent debugging a test?
- 25. 25 Benefits of a Containerized Build Environment ● Onboarding new team members. ○ New developers can just install the right container from Docker Hub. ● Build system is controlled and centrally update-able. ○ Developers can pull the latest build environment from Docker Hub. ■ No more fragile instructions to update library foo to version x.y.z ● Easy continuous integration ○ Build server uses the SAME build container!
- 26. 26 Benefits of a Containerized Build Environment ● Controlled environments require controlled build systems ○ FDA loves this concept. Same tools, same compilers, same output. ○ Usually leaves you stranded on an old Linux Distro. ■ Projects can have a very long duration. Even longer than 5 year LTS. ■ Forget about running a rolling distribution (very fashionable right now) ○ Containers can solve this. Update your base OS for security and HW support. ■ All development uses tools and libraries from inside the container.
- 27. 27 Containerized Yocto Build Systems ● Building Yocto is not very distribution tolerant. ○ Once you have an SDK you can develop almost anywhere. ○ Getting that image and sdk requires exact version of various distros ■ You will have the most luck on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. ■ It’s way out of date, but will reliably build Daisy through Gatesgarth. ○ VM’s build very slowly. Other option is keeping a spare machine around. ○ Or install an Ubuntu 16.04 container and use it to build images. ■ VM-like isolation. Native-like speed. Redistributable!
