Continuous Delivery leveragingon Docker CaaS

Let’s push some context

• Major CIB european bank, and so relying on a dense & complex IT

• Thousands apps & IT people

• Dozen of thousands servers

• A large technology stack

• IT split in two departments committed on different roles

• Siloted build & operation of applications

• Deliver infrastructure capabilities

Ambition“Build a simple, agile & efficient IS in a

risk controlled environment”

Carlos Goncalves, CIO

• Become a busines partner: generate more business value, adapt to change

• Reduce TTM, strengthen reliability

• Introduced agility in our DNA for some years now (40% apps covered)

• Engage on continuous delivery practices from end-to-end: involve Biz, Craftmanship, DevOps, Architecture for 50% of critical apps

• Transform people (coaching, training) & toolset@AdrienBlind

Focus on delivery

• Promote DevOps practices

• Feature teams engaged on the whole product lifecycle

• Automate infrastructure & application deployments

• Make environments ephemeral and elastic

@AdrienBlind

Leveraging on private IaaS cloud

• IaaS brings flexibility (on demand, self-service, pay-per-use)

• API centric: plug environment creation in continuous

integration

• Post-configure with a conf. mgmt tools (infra as code)

IaaSCapacity (VM, Storage…)

PaaSApp (code)

Leveraging on PaaS cloud

• Provide high-level building blocks: DBs, middlewares, etc.

• API-centric too

CaaSApp container

Introducing CaaS cloud

@AdrienBlind

The container paradigm

« Self-sufficient artifact enclosing apps modules and

subsequent system requirements »

Software

factoriesCloud

@AdrienBlind

DevOps Roles shift

Apps team focuses on

container’s content

Don’t care about where the

container will run

Knows how to build the container

and operate the app

“You build it, you run it!”

CaaS team concerned

about external shape

Ignore how images are built

Knows how to operate huge

amount of containers

@AdrienBlind

Rebuild vs Upgrade

Full stack

Versioning

& idempotency

Patch

vs

immutable

@AdrienBlind

• Extract data from the container

• Leverage on applicative storage services

• OpenStack Swift, Ceph...

• Hadoop, Cassandra, Elastic Search...

• Externalize on system storage

• Data containers

• Host mounting points

Data consideration

@AdrienBlind

Architecture consideration

• Trends

• Application deploiement frequency

• Micro services

• Commodity infrastructure

• High availability & scalability more and more embedded in apps. New emerging patterns:

• Stateless, design for failure, loose coupling, zerodowntime deployment...

Ops

@AdrienBlind

The CaaS provider

• Internal / External offers consider brokering?

• Key services

• Manage underlying IaaS (multihosts, multi-tenancy, system management, SLA...)

• Expose management API for containers and handleorchestration

• Expose transversal services API (load balancers, DNS, service directories)

• But don’t forget to move step by step to make ithappen. Remind how virutalization arrived!

@AdrienBlind

Tips & tricks

• Think DevOps: don’t forget your Ops

• Expect a shift in traditional apps

• Importance of the architecture

• Application configuration management

• Move pro-gres-siv-ely: baby steps first

• Start at the Dev workstation

• Avoid discussing big CaaS cloud, orchestration, right from the begining
