Complete Visibility into Docker Containers with AppDynamics

Editor's Notes

• #4: Software is eating the world. The world runs on software-defined businesses. Square, Netflix, AirBnb, Uber, Alibaba, Etsy, Nest, Tesla. Technology is disrupting all industries. All industries in all geographies are undergoing radical digital disruption.
• #6: In the early 2000s, application architectures were fairly simplistic consisting of a monolithic 3-tier architecture - with a user request resulting in a call to an application server and then a query to some backend database Over time, the application architectures and operating environments have grown in complexity. While these shifts have been good for application developer productivity and agility, they have made modern applications more difficult to manage. The shifts that have had the most impact on IT Operations & App Support teams include SOA: Service Oriented Architecture Cloud Capacity: Usage of Cloud Capacity from providers like Amazon EC2 and private clouds Big Data: Surge in data volumes popularizing Big Data and NoSQL technologies such as Hadoop, Cassandra and MongoDB Mobile: In addition, Businesses are looking at iOS and Android devices as new channels to market Agile: And to complicate things even further, more frequent code release cycles with the adoption of agile development [BUILD BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS THE ONLY CONSTANT] All of these technologies have created the perfect storm for operations and development trying to manage the performance and availability of their application due to the high rate of change these teams are facing. To add to this challenge, legacy monitoring approaches weren’t built to support these environments. Throughout this change and all future change. The only constant is the Business Transaction which is the main unit of measurement within AppDynamics
• #7: There are 3 primary pieces of our Application Intelligence vision. See Everything – from what’s happening in the app, the user experience, and what’s happening in the infrastructure Act - Respond Quickly – Remediate problems, Enable DevOps, collaborate faster And Analyze everything – analyze user behavior, analyze business impact, improve operational planning
• #9: AppDynamics Unified Monitoring provides the industry-first, application-centric integrated monitoring platform that traces every user interactions from end-user client to application code to third-party services/databases and supporting infrastructure. AppDynamics Unified Monitoring uses a top-down, user experience-centric monitoring approach to enhance DevOps collaboration and eliminate siloed management costs and challenges. It’s built to work as one solution, with one UI, one data platform, one installation.
• #12: AppDynamics Summer ‘15 release offers deep visibility into Docker environment using the Docker extension. AppDynamics provides visibility into applications and business transactions made out of multiple smaller decoupled (micro) services deployed in a Docker environment using the Docker monitoring solution. The AppDynamics Docker Monitoring Extension monitors and reports on various metrics, such as: total number of containers, running containers, images, CPU usage, memory usage, network traffic, etc. The AppDynamics Docker monitoring extension gathers metrics from the Docker Remote API, either using Unix Socket or TCP giving you the choice for data collection protocol. The Docker metrics can now be correlated with the metrics from the applications running in the container. Customers can leverage all the core functionalities of AppDynamics (e.g. dynamic baselining, health rules, policies, actions, etc.) for all the Docker metrics while correlating them with the metrics already running in the Docker environment. The Docker monitoring extension also creates an out of the box custom dashboard with key Docker metrics as shown in the screenshot. This out of the box dashboard helps customer jump start the monitoring of Docker environment.
