Taming Container Fears - Scott McCarty, Red Hat

Container technology promises greater agility and efficiency when it comes to building and deploying applications—a critical ability in this age of zero tolerance for downtime and great expectations for capabilities on demand. Indeed, containers can provide a technological edge that translates into significant business advantage, but some companies have been leery about adopting the technology because of (very valid) security fears stemming from the way in which containers interact with the OS: Containers share system resources for access to compute, networking and storage, but, unlike virtual machines, all containers on the same host share the same OS kernel. If the kernel is compromised, containers will be compromised--and vice versa.

Why I Love Kubernetes - Sebastien Goasguen, Open Source Innovator

Kubernetes, the open source container orchestration system has become one of the top projects on GitHub and is set to become the standard for cloud native applications. In this talk I will explain and show why I love Kubernetes. From its lineage to Google internal application management system: Borg to its powerful REST API and great resources that make programming distributed applications easy as well as the keys features like rolling-update and scaling. The talk will mix slides and live demonstration and should leave you with a good understanding of Kubernetes principles, power and ease of use.

Container Standards: Past, Present and Future - Vincent Batts, Red Hat

Standards often arise out of patterns arising, but needing common interfaces to design to. So it goes with containers, but a culmination of hype, adoption and formal standards, is a lot to wade through. Many companies involved, but the interfaces you integrate with need to not be locked-in.
In this talk Vincent Batts will review how standards have arrived where they are, what the important next steps will be and how this affects you.

5 Containers for 5 Languages: Patterns for Software Development Using Containers - Mario Loriedo, Red Hat

Go, Rust, Swift, Haskell and JavaScript are among the hottest languages in 2016 and all have different features that will be exploited to show different patterns to build, test and run applications using containers.

Building upon an earlier workshop at BreizhCamp in 2015 (https://gist.github.com/l0rd/316164ad3f170cde9b12, http://l0rd.github.io/talks/containers-and-languages/), attendees will be lead through the development of samples applications written in different languages in order to illustrate different containers usage patterns.

After a short description of the language, the container and the pattern to use participants will be asked to put into practice these patterns using a sample project.

Flowgrind: A TCP Traffic Generator for Developers - Arnd Hannemann, credativ GmbH

During the last decades TCP and the networks it is used in steadily evolved. To aid further development it is crucial to give researchers and developers measurement tools so they can evaluate and analyze their TCP modifications in real world network environments. In this presentation we show our tool flowgrind. Unlike existing measurement tools, flowgrind's distributed architecture allows for an easy setup of complex scenarios (Fairness measurements with different congestion control mechanisms, cross-traffic, separation of test and control traffic etc.). Besides the usual application perceived metrics it can also measure core variables from the operating system's TCP implementation (tcp_info struct) thus enabling the developers to analyze and understand the interactions between TCP and the underlying network.

Networking Containers in an Ultra-Low-Latency Environment - Avi Deitcher, Atomic Inc.

Containers must communicate. Without a method for one container to talk to another, let alone the outside world, the overwhelming majority of containers serve little purpose. Yet the networking stack for containers is not well understood, especially in environments with networking performance requirements, such as high performance computing, financial services, or simply those who cannot just throw hardware at a problem.

We will review how containers internetwork, explore multiple networking options for containers, and evaluate the latency and throughput characteristics of each.

Finally, we will look at an actual analysis of each option and the performance results as compared to bare metal, and what lessons we can learn.

Orchestrating the Blockchain Using Containers - Andrew Kennedy, Cloudsoft

Blockchain technology is a new and exciting field, and being able to quickly test applications is essential for agile startups wanting to bring products to market quickly. We show how Clocker, a key open-source component of Cloudsoft AMP, can be used to orchestrate the deployment and scaling of a Hyperledger blockchain application. An OASIS CAMP blueprint is created to describe the application topology, which is then installed onto a managed cluster of Virtual Machines running Docker Engine and the Calico SDN.

Monitoring Microservices: Docker, Mesos and Kubernetes Visibility at Scale - Alessandro Gallotta, Sysdig

Microservices and containers are revolutionizing the way we deploy applications and maintain infrastructure. But as many have found containers still have a key problem: monitoring and troubleshooting them can be impractical, painful, and sometimes impossible. With the rise of microservice based architectures and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes and Mesos, managing this has become even harder.

Using real tools, in live environments, Alessandro Gallotta will walk through various hands-on scenarios including how to:
-visualize physical vs logical architectures of Kubernetes/Mesos deployments
-understand performance at the microservice/app level for orchestrated systems
-identify & surface system activity of individual Docker containers
-extract process & app-level metrics inside containers with non-intrusive methods
-troubleshoot detailed network activity in distributed containers

Containers and Logging - Eduardo Silva, Treasure Data

The implementation of Linux Containers provides enough flexibility to isolate applications with restricted access to CPU, memory and networking within others. While this technology is stable and production ready, there are some challenges that still needs to be addressed for the containerized application when deployed at scale: Logging.

While some applications writes their logs to the file system, others use the generic STDOUT and STDERR interfaces; when the application runs on top of a framework or virtual machine (JVM), it may generate some extra information. Since monitoring is a must, handling this data coming from different sources and formats adds an exponential complexity, specially when scaling to thousands of containers.

In this presentation I will describe the Logging challenges for containerized applications and how this is being solved with Fluentd.

How to Monitor Docker Containers with the Open Source ELK Stack - Asaf Yigal, Logz.io

As Docker becomes more and more popular, the number of deployed containers is increasing rapidly. As a result, the ability to monitor the logs of each container is becoming more and more difficult -- especially when organizations have many containers distributed across many servers. Centralized logging with the open source ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana) is the solution to this problem.

Setting up the ELK Stack to monitor Docker logs might seem like an easy task, but Asaf Yigal of Logz.io went through several iterations in his company's architecture and made mistakes in their deployments that are common in the industry. In this tutorial, he will go through what they did and explain what worked and what failed -- and why. This presentation is for people who use are interested in using open source ELK to perform Docker log analysis in their own environments.

WARNING is a Waste of My Time - Schlomo Schapiro, Zalando

How many log levels do you know? How many log levels are actually useful? What is the practical difference between WARNING and NOTICE?

Schlomo believes that in a world of automation, one needs only two log levels:

ERROR and everything else.

ERROR means that Schlomo as a human should take action. Everything else is irrelevant for him. All the other log levels are just a remnant of the past from the last century. This lightning talk looks at the WARNING problem from both a Dev and an Ops perspective in order to find a useful definition for the age of automation.
