Introducing Lattice: an App-Centric Container Orchestration Platform

Transcript

1. Introducing Lattice The new container orchestrator built from battle-tested components!
2. Who am I? David Julia @David Julia on Twitter Lead developer of CF Lattice @ Pivotal Software Based in Chicago @ the Merchandise Mart We’re hiring ;)
3. Motivations for a new App-Centric Container Orchestrator • Cloudfoundry is an amazing PaaS, but it’s very heavyweight-- lots of vms to run it. • BOSH is powerful, but very hard for people to learn modeled after Google’s BORG, BO(R++G++) → BOSH • The underlying tech is proven and hardened (garden-linux, diego, etc) • We’re seeing new container-first platforms that have a lot of traction with devs (Kubernetes, CoreOS) ◦ They are not as battle-tested as CF. ◦ We are targeting a great developer experience, but without some of the bells/whistles of CF
4. What is Lattice? • Lightweight App-centric container orchestration service, bundling Diego, Routing, and a user-friendly CLI, but not much else ;). • Terraform for deployment (of prebuilt images) instead of BOSH • Can run in a single VM (non-ha) or striped across only a handful of VMs HA. Footprint is MUCH smaller than CF (3x fewer VMs for a minimal HA deployment). • You can run it on your laptop for local development without killing your CPU! • A friendly cli for interacting with the orchestrator Visit Lattice.cf for our new swanky website with more info!
5. Lattice Architecture
6. And now, a live demo!
