OS-level Isolation

• Isolation at individual kernel subsystem level (e.g. filesystem, process table, etc)

• User-level process (LXC, libcontainer) orchestrates these subsystems to create a container

Existed for Many Years

Solaris Zones, FreeBSD Jails, OpenVZ

Why?

• Process isolation

• Reproducible environment

• Enables management at scale Hardware

Challenges With Container Adoption

• Automation and Management

• You can always run containers –but who's managing the lifecycle?

7

Containers and OpenStack

• OpenStack delivers the infrastructure automation

• Containers are the popular method for packaging and distributing applications

• Using containers to run OpenStack services.

– Multiple community initiatives containerize the modules.

• Here to stay, integral part of the OpenStack community going forward.

• Key projects:

– Magnum – Deploying container orchestration systems (Kubernetes/ Mesosphere)

– Kolla – Containerizing OpenStack services

– Kuryr – Container Networking

Value of Container Orchestration

• Container visibility – How many and where?

• Health checks

– Ensuring that in the event of failure, the container is brought back to life

• Ensure host-container affinity/anti-affinity

• Inter host container networking

• Container Lifecycle Management

Deploying Kubernetes for Orchestration

Many options:

• Deploy from source

• Manually deploy pre-built binaries on OpenStack instances

• Use open source community-developed automation solutions in your OpenStack cloud. i.eKargo

• Use Magnum
