OpenShift, Docker, Kubernetes: The next generation of PaaS

Aug 15, 20168 likes1,939 views

The document discusses how platforms like OpenShift, Docker, and Kubernetes have evolved from earlier PaaS technologies to provide next generation platforms that enable automated builds, deployments, orchestration, and security across containers. It notes how these platforms allow applications to be deployed across custom strategies rather than being constrained to a single way of working, and how they integrate with existing CI/CD tools. The document encourages gradually adopting new tooling as it makes sense and provides various resources for trying OpenShift.

Docker is a platform that allows users to build, ship, and run applications by using containers. It solves issues like dependency conflicts, portability, and consistency across development and production. Docker uses containers- isolated environments that package code and dependencies together- to deliver software quickly and reliably. Key Docker concepts include images (read-only templates for creating containers), volumes (for persistent data), registries (for sharing images), and compose files (for defining multi-container apps). Docker also provides networking and clustering functionality to connect containers across multiple hosts.

Docker BasicsDuckDuckGo

Docker is an open source containerization platform that allows applications to be easily deployed and run across various operating systems and cloud environments. It allows applications and their dependencies to be packaged into standardized executable units called containers that can be run anywhere. Containers are more portable and provide better isolation than virtual machines, making them useful for microservices architecture, continuous integration/deployment, and cloud-native applications.

Docker introductiondotCloud

Docker is a system for running applications in isolated containers. It addresses issues with traditional virtual machines by providing lightweight containers that share resources and allow applications to run consistently across different environments. Docker eliminates inconsistencies in development, testing and production environments. It allows applications and their dependencies to be packaged into a standardized unit called a container that can run on any Linux server. This makes applications highly portable and improves efficiency across the entire development lifecycle.

Docker introduction (1)Gourav Varma

Docker is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications. It allows packaging applications into standardized units for software called containers that can run on any infrastructure. The key components of Docker include images, containers, a client-server architecture using Docker Engine, and registries for storing images. Images act as templates for creating containers, which are run-time instances of images. Docker provides portability and isolation of applications using containers.

Kubernetes: A Short Introduction (2019)Megan O'Keefe

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery called pods. Kubernetes can manage pods across a cluster of machines, providing scheduling, deployment, scaling, load balancing, volume mounting and networking. It is widely used by companies like Google, CERN and in large projects like processing images and analyzing particle interactions. Kubernetes is portable, can span multiple cloud providers, and continues growing to support new workloads and use cases.

Implementing a decorator for thread synchronisation.Graham Dumpleton

Not Tom EastmanGraham Dumpleton

The document defines classes TomEastman and KatieMcLaughlin that return names when the whoami method is called. It explores different ways to check for object identity and type in Python, including using not, ==, is, isinstance(), type(), and __class__. The key learnings are that there are multiple ways to compare objects in Python, and functions like isinstance() and type() must be used carefully to accurately check types.

Data analytics in the cloud with Jupyter notebooks.Graham Dumpleton

Jupyter Notebooks provide an interactive computational environment, in which you can combine Python code, rich text, mathematics, plots and rich media. It provides a convenient way for data analysts to explore, capture and share their research. Numerous options exist for working with Jupyter Notebooks, including running a Jupyter Notebook instance locally or by using a Jupyter Notebook hosting service. This talk will provide a quick tour of some of the more well known options available for running Jupyter Notebooks. It will then look at custom options for hosting Jupyter Notebooks yourself using public or private cloud infrastructure. An in-depth look at how you can run Jupyter Notebooks in OpenShift will be presented. This will cover how you can directly deploy a Jupyter Notebook server image, as well as how you can use Source-to-Image (S2I) to create a custom application for your requirements by combining an existing Jupyter Notebook server image with your own notebooks, additional code and research data. Specific use cases around Jupyter Notebooks which will be explored will include individual use, team use within an organisation, and class room environments for teaching. Other issues which will be covered include importing of notebooks and data into an environment, storing data using persistent volumes and other forms of centralised storage. As an example of the possibilities of using Jupyter Notebooks with a cloud, it will be shown how you can easily use OpenShift to set up a distributed parallel computing cluster using ‘ipyparallel’ and use it in conjunction with a Jupyter Notebook.

“warpdrive”, making Python web application deployment magically easy.Graham Dumpleton

Ask a beginner to deploy a Python web application and they will often complain it is too hard. Although we have standards for how a Python web application should interface with a web server, the web servers for Python all work differently, with a myriad of options and being difficult to set up properly. In this talk you will be given a preview of a project called 'warpdrive', a project being developed to simplify the process of deploying a Python web application. The 'warpdrive' project makes it easy to run your Python web application on your own system, but it can also create a Docker image for your application, providing you with an easy path to deploying it on a Docker service. How 'warpdrive' works is also compatible with next generation Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings such as the latest OpenShift, which has been reimplemented around Docker and Kubernetes. See how working on and deploying your Python web application could be made so much easier using 'warpdrive'.

Hear no evil, see no evil, patch no evil: Or, how to monkey-patch safely.Graham Dumpleton

Python is a dynamic programming language and has a strong tradition of adhering to a programming style called duck-typing. This means that it is possible to easily modify an application's code while it is running. One might wish to do this for various reasons, including enhancing the functionality of code, correcting errant behaviour, or adding instrumentation or debugging code. Making such code modifications can be tricky though and not done correctly can potentially interfere with the operation of the original code, through destroying introspection abilities, not honouring the duck-typing mantra or due to being applied at the wrong time. If you do need to do monkey patching though, the 'wrapt' library is your friend, with its transparent object proxy wrappers and post import hook mechanism, it allows you to safely monkey patch code to modify its behaviour. Learn about the 'wrapt' library and the joys, but also the dangers, of monkey patching.

The document provides an overview of Graham Dumpleton's talk on making Apache more suitable for hosting Python web applications. Dumpleton addresses common criticisms of Apache, such as being too hard to configure, using too much memory, and being slow. He explains that in many cases, these issues arise from improper configuration rather than reflect intrinsic flaws in Apache. The talk covers optimizing Apache's installation, choosing an appropriate process model, and properly configuring server parameters like threads per child and maximum requests per child. The goal is to understand Apache better and configure it optimally for Python applications.
