KubeCon EU 2016: Heroku to Kubernetes
3 likes1,403 views
Arkena's video-on-demand platform is used as backend by major european channels (TF1 / beIN SPORTS / Elisa) to propose a non-linear experience to their customers. Previously hosted on Heroku, the number of our users is increasing constantly. In order to optimize resources we decided to move on a bare metal infrastructure powered by Kubernetes. We'll share thoughts, feedbacks and technical details about this successful transition. Sched Link:

KubeCon EU 2016: Heroku to Kubernetes
- 1. From Heroku to Kubernetes : A production use case Antoine Legrand Smaine Kahlouch Arkena 2016
- 2. 2 AGENDA • Presentation of Arkena • Former Hosting plateform on Heroku, why to leave ? • Is kubernetes able to provide similar features as Heroku ? • Migration steps • Project lessons • Deployment tools
- 3. WHO WE ARE YOUR TRUSTED MEDIA PARTNER 3 A TDF Group Business Unit • 16 POPs CDN • 1 Tbps connectivity • 400 live radios & 360 live TVs • 630 hours of On Demand video processed daily • United Kingdom • Norway • USA • Finland • Denmark • Poland • France • Spain • Sweden 13 Offices in 9 Countries A team of 400 employees At a glance
- 4. ARKENA OTT / CDN A UNIQUE EUROPEAN PRESENCE, ESPECIALLY FRANCE AND NORDICS 5 Content management User accounts management Content processing & protection
- 5. 6 HEROKU KEY FEATURES • No need to worry about the underlying infrastructure • Easy to scale apps • Full application stacks are easy to install with Heroku addons • Easy to iterate from dev to production
- 6. 7 CONTEXT • Our VOD plateform gets increasingly successful with our clients • The Heroku Costs became significant • Are we able to keep the same features as Heroku on Bare- Metal ?
- 7. 8 FEATURES REQUIREMENTS • High availability and scalability • Log management • Monitoring • Network performances
- 8. 8 KUBERNETES CHOICE • Kubernetes looked promising • Deep investigation on kubernetes features • POC validation
- 9. 10 FEATURES REQUIREMENTS • High availability and scalability
- 10. 10 HIGH AVAILABILITY & SCALABILITY • Pods and Replication controllers • Quickly increase the number of replicas • Horizontal pod autoscaling • Multi datacenters architecture • Database replication
- 11. 12 FEATURES REQUIREMENTS • High availability and scalability • Log management
- 12. 13 LOGS MANAGEMENT • Kubernetes DaemonSet • Log processing • Reliable transport and storage • Kibana WebUI
- 13. 14 FEATURES REQUIREMENTS • High availability and scalability • Log management • Monitoring
- 14. 14 MONITORING • Kubernetes Health checks • Shinken servers (alerting) • Data performances metrics : Influxdb with Heapster • NewRelic hosted monitoring solution
- 15. 16 FEATURES REQUIREMENTS • High availability and scalability • Log management • Monitoring • Network performances
- 16. 16 ARKENA'S KUBERNETES CLUSTER • 2 distinct kubernetes clusters (1 per datacenter) • 12 nodes (Total: 288 cpus and 1152G of memory) • Haproxy loadbalancers • Multi-tenant database server • Network plugin: Calico
- 17. 19 MIGRATION STEPS FROM HEROKU 1. Deploy application stack on kubernetes 2. Copy Heroku's database on Arkena's db servers 3. Configure Heroku app to use Arkena's database server 4. QA tests (rollback if any problem) 5. Update the DNS 6. Keep both platforms running during a validation period
- 18. 23 PROJECT PROGRESS ISSUES • It's important to involve all teams. • Not clear recomandations on High availability and upgrade procedure • Ecosystem tools are still young
- 19. 20 KUBESPRAY • Open Source project to deploy a kubernetes cluster (Baremetal, AWS and GCE) • Current supported network plugins : Weave, Flannel & Calico. Coming soon : Romana and Opencontrail • Support most popular Linux distributions (CoreOS, Centos/RHEL, Debian/Ubuntu) • Continuous Integration tests. About 60 3-nodes clusters per day
- 20. 21 KPM APPS DEPLOYMENT • Deploy full application stack • Dependency management • Reproducible and versionned deployment • Ready to use application registry
- 21. 22 KPM KEY FEATURES • One command line to install an app stack • Super easy packaging http://kpm.kubespray.io kpm install heapster
- 22. 22 NEXT STEPS • Ubernetes • Continuous Deployment (Openshift, DEIS …) • Network policies enforcement • Custom metrics Autoscaling
- 23. 23 CONCLUSION • Successful migration from Heroku to Kubernetes on production • Technical teams are very interested on Kubernetes • Better resources management • Greatly reduced infrastructure costs
