RUNNING STATEFUL SERVICES ON CLOUD NATIVE PLATFORMS WITH MESOSJONAS ROSLAND, EMC {code}DEVELOPER ADVOCATE & COMMUNITY MANAGER

4© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• How are Cloud Native Platforms managed?• Handling stateless apps and stateful services• Everything running in containers• Making the platforms understand data persistence

AGENDA

5© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Clustered servers• Manual deployments• Redundancy, not necessarily high availability

BACK IN THE OLD DAYS

6© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Infrastructure as a Service• Deploy virtual machines• Manual/half-automated way of deploying apps• Almost efficient

THEN SOME TIME AGO

7© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Collection of compute resources• Spread out horizontally• Brings scale to your deployments

• Storing data (state) is a critical component of any application• Where they store this state defines their class

– Connected database– In memory– Local disk

APPLICATION STATE DIFFERENCES

17© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Store no critical data locally• Can be scaled as needed• Recovers quickly

STATELESS APPLICATIONS

18© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Services that store state• Have usually been treated as HA apps• Can be scale-out or scale-up

• No!– Without proper storage mapped, the service will lose data– Data doesn’t travel with the service if it’s stored on local

disk• Yes!

– Automatically mapping modern storage backends such as ScaleIO, VMAX, XtremIO, Isilon and othersenables your data to be stored safely

STATEFUL SERVICES IN CONTAINERS?

22© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Have been mostly focused on stateless apps• Working hard on making stateful services part of

their inventory• So how do you handle both types?

CLOUD NATIVE PLATFORMS

23© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Data is stored outside the platform

EXAMPLE 1

24© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• Data is stored on the same platform

• Cloud native applications have no concept of local storage• They require state being stored somewhere else• So we need our platform to understand storage

How does Cloud Foundryand Mesos work together?

35© Copyright 2016 EMC Corporation. All rights reserved.

• You already have your apps divided into stateless and stateful• Focus on your stateless apps first• Make real decisions to move from archaic master-

slave clusters• Move to new platforms to handle your old, new and

expanding apps
