Are your server PETS or CATTLE?
Streamlining DevOps
• Cattle vs Pets
• Containers
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
• Self service app & container fabrics (CaaS)
Docker is a game changer!
From a presentation titled “CERN Data Centre Evolution” that details the scientific organisation's 12,000-odd servers and plans to manage them more efficiently.

Intermodal Shipping Container
…in between, can be loaded and
unloaded, stacked, transported
efficiently over long distances,
and transferred from one mode
of transport to another
A standard container that is
loaded with virtually any
goods, and stays sealed until
it reaches final delivery.

…that can be manipulated using
standard operations and run
consistently on virtually any
hardware platform
An engine that enables any
payload to be encapsulated
as a lightweight, portable,
self-sufficient container…
Why it works—separation of concerns
• Dan the Developer
• Worries about what’s “inside” the
container
• His code
• His Libraries
• His Package Manager
• His Apps
• His Data
• All Linux servers look the same
• Oscar the Ops Guy
• Worries about what’s “outside”
the container
• Logging
• Remote access
• Monitoring
• Network config
• All containers start, stop, copy,
attach, migrate, etc. the same
way
