Docker is great: fundamentally better

abstraction, but…

Real apps run on > 1 computer

Composition

Scheduling

Networking

Storage

Pieces coming together

Healthy ecosystem Lots of innovation

Powerstrip is a prototyping tool for Docker extensions

Over to Kai!

Two tools that will be important for Docker in

production

FlockerPortable volumes for Docker

Move database containers around

Weave Virtual overlay network: IP address can follow a container to another machine

Both tools wrap Docker :(

Both tools can work together if they are both Powerstrip adapters…

powerstrip-flockerobserves “create” request, creates or

moves volume

powerstrip-weaveobserves “create” and “start” request,

hijacks entrypoint

Over to Luke!
