Focus for today

Container-as-a-Service from Cloud Providers

9

• AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) • Proprietary orchestration, APIs for BYO scheduler

• Recently joined the Kubernetes-focused CNCF

• Azure Container Service (ACS) • Choose your orchestration

• Able to manage Mesosphere DC/OS, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes

• Google Container Engine (GKE) • Kubernetes for orchestration

• IBM Bluemix Container Service (BCS) • Kubernetes for orchestration

Run Your Own Orchestrator

10

• Kubernetes • Open source, developed by Google

• Docker Swarm

• Open source, developed by Docker

• DC/OS • Built on Apache Mesos (open source)

• Utilizes Marathon (open source) for container management

• Recently added Kubernetes support

• Complementary to CaaS

• Self Service interface: authenticated, audited, and curated service catalog

• Visibility and chargeback of usage and spend across containerized and

non-containerized workloads

• Optimization of costs via monitoring and enforcing Docker host utilization.

The Role of RightScale with Containers

11

• Complementary to container cluster managers

• Cluster manager configurations are not consistent across cloud providers,

even when using the same cluster manager like Kubernetes on multiple

providers.

• RightScale automates the often-complex procedures for provisioning and

operating cluster managers

• RightScale’s monitoring and self-healing features can be extended to fully

automate autoscaling, replacing failed nodes, and more

• The same configuration can then be deployed to any public cloud or

private infrastructure for total consistency, reducing the dependence on a

single cloud provider's tools and preserving flexibility for the future.

The Role of RightScale with Containers

12

• Complementary to IaaS/IaaS+/PaaS Services

• Orchestrate containers and traditional workloads

• Orchestrate any cloud service with an API.

• Move between clustering and configuration management tools as desired

• Apply consistent governance, policies, auditing, identity and access

management, self-healing in response to monitoring alerts, visibility and

chargeback of usage and spend across all your workloads on the cloud.

Use, modify, contribute at github rightscale/rightscale-plugins

• The Plugin definition

• Describes the target API endpoint and interface

• Totally generic

• Consists of;

• Parameters

• Endpoints

• Types

• The Service definition

• An instantiation of a plugin

• Unique to a particular tenant with credentials, etc.
