SUSE Containers as a Service Platform

54 54

Why Do You Want to Invest in Containers?

55

What are Containers?

A package/image that can be deployed anywhere (that’s running a Linux Kernel) Developers create a layered image of their application that contains everything their application requires to run on top of a base OS layer A container image will be able to be built once and run everywhere Developers can focus on what they do best – development - opposed to dealing with packaging or library dependency management Operations can deploy an entire app stack in seconds as they don’t need to worry about prerequisites

What are Containers?

Making more efficient use of your server resources while empowering your development and operations staff

Deploying the same code to dev and prod Easier for developers – creating a package with just the software needed to run Can run anywhere – On Premise, Public Cloud or Private Cloud – It’s no difference!

57

How Do Containers Help Transform IT?

Accelerate application development and delivery Build and deliver new cloud native applications Ease application transformation

58

Without Containers

Isolated development environment Small team builds a POC POC hand over to Dev/Ops teams One of the following issues is likely:

• POC doesn’t run in production/staging
• Development environment not easy to

setup (different OS, different tools, missing packages) POC can’t be safely used in production or easily migrated to production

With Containers

Team creating POC can also deploy POC deployed with containers POC runs in a staging/production environment New dev environments are easy to setup Developers can continue using the preferred tools and OS Happy Developers! Productive teams!

= Opportunity!

62

What is a Microservice?

Variant of SOA architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely couples services Services should be fine-grained and use lightweight protocols Designed to sufficiently decompose the application in order to facilitate agile application development and deployment

63

Old (monolithic) Way

64

A Better Way…

65

Deploying Microservices

Microservices help companies move faster. Containers make it work!

Without Containers

• Set up development environments
• Download, Run all services locally
• (Try to) keep all services up to date
• Check code against dependencies
• Submission of code becomes

difficult

With Containers

• Containers are great for

Microservices

• Setup a development namespace
• Developers push code into

dedicated containers -> saves lot of time

• No need to keep code locally
• Continuous Integration/Continuous

Development (CI/CD) run against all services

66

Public Cloud

Ease Application Transformation

Total Cost Of Ownership is Compelling

The Business Case Works

“The reduction in duplication doesn't just free up resources on the server, it frees up other resources too. This is among the primary drivers of containers in enterprise IT—to reduce overhead and boost efficiency.”

Containers: Economically, they appear to be a better option than hardware

• virtualization. 451 Research.

Three Key Technology Components

77

SUSE MicroOS for Hosting Containers

A purpose built operating system designed for running containers and

• ptimized for large deployments..

Contains everything you need for running containers in production

Key features include:

• An easy to manage/upgrade OS
• Easily setup/manage a cluster of nodes
• Use core SUSE Linux technologies,

such as btrfs, RPM, autoyast

• Scalable - up to thousands of nodes
• Transactional/Atomic updates

78

Kubernetes for Container Orchestration

Helps you deploy and run large numbers of containers at scale in a production ready environment Deploy Manage Scale Clustered Allows users to manage applications, not machines

• Complete container orchestration solution
• Open source
• Production grade
• Industry-leading container technology
• Designed by Google, now part of Cloud

Native Computing Foundation

79

Kubernetes Deployment is Not Easy

Kubernetes is great for container orchestration but is notoriously hard to

• Set up/install
• Configure
• Update
• Manage
• Secure

SUSE CaaS Platform takes this pain away What used to take hours for skilled engineers can be done in minutes by junior administrators

Helm

Package management for Kubernetes

What is Helm?

• Tool to manage Kubernetes application
• Streamlines installation and management
• It’s like ‘zypper’ for Kubernetes
• Helm has two parts: a client (helm) and a server (tiller).
• Tiller runs inside of Kubernetes cluster, and manages

releases (installations) of charts*

• During SUSE CaaS Platform set up the server can be

installed on the Kubernetes cluster and then Helm can be used to deploy containerized applications.

Why Helm?

• Ability to deploy applications from SUSE maintained Helm

charts or from 3rd party sources

• Official tool to deploy containerized products such as SUSE

Cloud Application Platform

• Easy to integrate with SUSE CaaS Platform

* “Helm Chart” is the Kubernetes equivalent of an RPM file
