Video and slides synchronized, mp3 and slide download available at URL http://bit.ly/2aETRCz. Anne Currie talks about the architectural impact of containers, and what modern container schedulers mean for resilience, redundancy and server density. Filmed at qconlondon.com. Anne Currie has been an engineer for over 20 years, devising and developing products as well as running the tech team for one of Europe's earliest pure-play eRetailers. She is a co-founder of Force12.io, an open source project for real-time container scaling.

9. Speed!

10. Backstory

11. Docker

12. Google, Netflix

13. ● Lower cost
○ high server density
● Lower maintenance
○ self-healing

14. 70+% Utilization
vs
10-15%

15. ● $1M/Year Hosting @ 10% Utilization
● 50% Utilization Saves $800K

16. ● Cunning Orchestration
○ bin packing
○ fault tolerance
● Clever scaling
○ microscaling

17. GIFEE
Google Infrastructure for
Everyone Else

18. Clever orchestrators:
Mesos/Marathon,
Kubernetes, Nomad, Swarm

19. Clever scaling?

20. Clever scaling?

21. Microservices

22. Cattle not pets

23. Container Instantiation
Speeds

24. Autoscaling->Microscaling

26. Demo
Realtime

27. ● Containers/Docker
● Orchestrators
● Microscalers

28. ● Microservices
● Cattle Not Pets

29. ● Lower cost
○ high server density
● Lower maintenance
○ self-healing
● More than the humanly
achievable

30. Summary
● Containers already won @ Google & Netflix
● Lower maintenance & lower costs
● Ops requirements: Docker (or alternative),
orchestrator, microscaling
● Architecture requirements: microservices,
cattle not pets

31. Containers are Coming
