Writing code to solve problems is still fun!

Running that code in production is very hard

What do we do?

Google Cloud Platform Confidential & Proprietary 15 In the good old days @meteatamel

Write your code, pass it to QA for testing, let operations team run it...

Google Cloud Platform Nowadays, it is your problem

What do we do?

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel You can write your code in any language and run anywhere exactly the same way

Your app is optimally deployed somewhere and managed by someone. It just works!

There are no machines. All resources are automatically provisioned on demand

Google Cloud Platform Docker + Kubernetes + Cloud

Write your code in any language and run it anywhere exactly the same way ⇒ Containers (eg. Docker, Rkt)

Your app is optimally deployed and managed ⇒ Container Management Platforms (eg. Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Mesos)

All the resources needed for your app is automatically provisioned per demand ⇒ Cloud Providers (eg. Google Cloud, AWS, Azure)

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Containers

Google Cloud Platform What is a container? @meteatamel

Docker A lightweight way to virtualize applications

Linux (or Windows) processes

Lightweight Easily deployable Hermetically sealed Introspectable Isolated Composable

Google Cloud Platform Why containers? @meteatamel

Physical Machine Virtual Machines Containers

✕ No isolation ✓ Isolation ✓ Isolation ✕ Common libs ✓ No Common Libs ✓ No Common Libs ✕ Highly coupled Apps ✕ Expensive and ✓ Less overhead & OS Inefficient ✕ Less Dependency on ✕ Hard to manage Host OS

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Google has been developing and using containers to manage our applications for over 12 years.

Images by Connie Zhou Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel Everything at Google runs in containers

Gmail, Web Search, Maps, ... MapReduce, batch, ... GFS, Colossus, ... Even Google’s Cloud Platform: our VMs run in containers!

We launch over 2 billion containers per week

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Demo: Containerised Microservice

Google Cloud Platform Containers not enough @meteatamel

Containers help to create a lightweight and consistent environment for apps

But you still need to answer these questions:

● Who takes care of redundancy? ● Who takes care of resiliency? ● Who scales up/down your app? ● Who and how a new version of your app gets deployed? ● Who rolls back to a previous version if something goes wrong? ● Etc. etc. etc.

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Kubernetes

Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes @meteatamel

Greek for “Helmsman”; also the root of the words “governor” and “cybernetic”

• Manages container clusters

• Inspired and informed by Google’s experiences and internal systems (borg)

• Supports multiple cloud and bare-metal environments

• Supports multiple container runtimes

• 100% Open source, written in Go

Manage applications, not machines

Google Cloud Platform Container clusters: A story in two parts @meteatamel

1. Setting up the cluster • Choose a cloud: GCE, AWS, Azure, Rackspace, on-premises, ... • Choose a node OS: CoreOS, Atomic, RHEL, Debian, CentOS, Ubuntu, ... • Provision machines: Boot VMs, install and run kube components, ... • Configure networking: IP ranges for Pods, Services, SDN, ... • Start cluster services: DNS, logging, monitoring, ... • Manage nodes: kernel upgrades, OS updates, hardware failures...

Not the easy or fun part, but unavoidable

This is where things like Google Container Engine (GKE) really help

Google Cloud Platform Kubernetes cluster on GKE @meteatamel

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Demo: Create Kubernetes cluster

Google Cloud Platform Container clusters: A story in two parts @meteatamel

2. Using the cluster • Run Pods & Containers • Replica Sets • Services • Volumes

This is the fun part!

A distinct set of problems from cluster setup and management

Don’t make developers deal with cluster administration!

Accelerate development by focusing on the applications, not the cluster

Deployments

Google Cloud Platform Deployments @meteatamel

A Deployment provides declarative updates for Pods and Replica Sets

Describe the desired state and the Deployment controller will change the actual state to the desired state at a controlled rate for you.

Deployment manages replica changes for you • stable object name • updates are configurable, done server-side • kubectl edit or kubectl apply ...

Pods and Volumes

Google Cloud Platform Pods @meteatamel

Content Consumers Small group of containers & volumes Manager

Tightly coupled

The atom of scheduling & placement

Shared namespace File Web • share IP address & localhost Puller Server • share IPC, etc.

Managed lifecycle • bound to a node, restart in place Volume • can die, cannot be reborn with same ID

Example: data puller & web server Pod

Google Cloud Platform Volumes @meteatamel

Pod-scoped storage

Support many types of volume plugins • Empty dir (and tmpfs) • vSphere • Host path • GlusterFS • repository • Ceph File and RBD • GCE Persistent Disk • Cinder • AWS Elastic Block Store • FibreChannel • Azure File Storage • Secret, ConfigMap, • iSCSI DownwardAPI • Flocker • Flex (exec a binary) • NFS • ...

Labels & Selectors

Google Cloud Platform Labels @meteatamel

Arbitrary metadata

Attached to any API object

Generally represent identity

Queryable by selectors • think SQL ‘select ... where ...’

The only grouping mechanism • pods under a ReplicationController • pods in a Service • capabilities of a node (constraints)

Resiliency & Redundancy

Google Cloud Platform ReplicaSets* @meteatamel

ReplicaSet - name = “my-rc” A simple control loop - selector = {“App”: “MyApp”} Runs out-of-process wrt API server - template = { ... } - replicas = 4 One job: ensure N copies of a pod • grouped by a selector How Start 1 How many? more many? • too few? start some • too many? kill some 3 OK 4

Layered on top of the public Pod API

Replicated pods are fungible API Server • No implied order or identity

* The evolution of ReplicationControllers

Google Cloud Platform ReplicaSets @meteatamel

ReplicaSetReplication Pod Pod Controller Pod Pod Pod #pods = 3

app = demo frontend frontend

color in (blue,grey) app = demo app = demo app = demo

color = blue color = blue color = grey

show: version = v2 Behavior Benefits

● Keeps Pods running ➔ Recreates Pods, maintains desired state ● Gives direct control of Pod #s ➔ Fine-grained control for scaling ● Grouped by Label Selector ➔ Standard grouping semantics

Kubernetes Health Checks

Google Cloud Platform Health Check Philosophy

It’s your responsibility to let Kubernetes know whether your app is healthy or not!

Google Cloud Platform Liveness Probes

Liveness Probes make sure your application is running

livenessProbe: # an http probe httpGet: path: /healthz port: 8080 initialDelaySeconds: 15 # wait 15 seconds after pod is started to check for health timeoutSeconds: 1 # wait 1 second for a response to health check

Google Cloud Platform Readiness Probes

Readiness probes make sure your application is ready to serve traffic

readinessProbe: # an http probe httpGet: path: /readiness port: 8080 initialDelaySeconds: 20 # wait 20 seconds after pod is started to check for health timeoutSeconds: 5 # wait 5 second for a response to health check

Google Cloud Platform Services @meteatamel

Client

A logical grouping of pods that perform the same function (the Service’s endpoints) • grouped by label selector

VIP Load balances incoming requests across Service constituent pods Label selector: Choice of pod is random but supports type = FE session affinity (ClientIP)

Gets a stable virtual IP and port

• also a DNS nametype = Pod Pod Pod Container Container Container

Google Cloud Platform DaemonSets @meteatamel

Pod Problem: how to run a Pod on every node? • or a subset of nodes

Similar to ReplicaSet • principle: do one thing, don’t overload

“Which nodes?” is a selector

Use familiar tools and patterns

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Jobs

Google Cloud Platform Jobs @meteatamel

Run-to-completion, as opposed to run-forever • Express parallelism vs. required completions • Workflow: restart on failure • Build/test: don’t restart on failure

Aggregates success/failure counts

Built for batch and big-data work

...

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

StatefulSets

Google Cloud Platform StatefulSets @meteatamel

Goal: enable clustered software on Kubernetes • mysql, redis, zookeeper, ...

Clustered apps need “identity” and sequencing guarantees • stable hostname, available in DNS • an ordinal index • stable storage: linked to the ordinal & hostname • discovery of peers for quorum • startup/teardown ordering

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

ConfigMaps

Google Cloud Platform ConfigMaps @meteatamel

API Goal: manage app configuration • ...without making overly-brittle container images Pod Config 12-factor says config comes from the Map environment • Kubernetes is the environment

Manage config via the Kubernetes API node Inject config as a virtual volume into your Pods • late-binding, live-updated (atomic) • also available as env vars

Google Cloud Platform @meteatamel

Secrets

Google Cloud Platform Secrets @meteatamel

API Goal: grant a pod access to a secured something • don’t put secrets in the container image! Pod Secret 12-factor says config comes from the environment • Kubernetes is the environment

Manage secrets via the Kubernetes API node Inject secrets as virtual volumes into your Pods • late-binding, tmpfs - never touches disk • also available as env vars
