Service Mesh Magic

Services Meshes are the new hype without any question.. But what do they really bring to the table? A service mesh adds new qualities to your container orchestration: It connects, secures, observes and controls service invocations in a language agnostic way that doesn't require any code changes. This presentation gives you a gentle intro to service mesh. Starting with the shortcomings of Docker and Kubernetes. I will show in a live demo and have a look at how a service mesh bridges to the world of chaos engineering by giving us the possibility to inject errors. To conclude I will analyze if and how a service mesh should evolve into becoming a standard component of a public cloud

Enterprise SW Modernization -> Microservices Building Blocks / Technical Architecture • Containers • Serverless (AWS Lambda) • Other cloud services • Do NOT stuff everything into a container! • AWS API Gateway, Kinesis, Aurora, Dynamo DB, etc. -> Container / K8s will not make other cloud services redundant
6. © 2018, Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. Challenges of Containers at Scale • More transient • More distributed and complex • Networking • Scheduling / Resource Management • Not virtualized, but isolated: containers share Linux kernel -> Tooling and orchestration required

ECS Easiest way to deploy and manage containers at scale Integration with entire AWS platform ALB, Auto Scaling, Batch, Elastic Beanstalk, CloudFormation, CloudTrail, CloudWatch Events, CloudWatch Logs, CloudWatch Metrics, ECR, EC2 Spot, IAM, NLB, Parameter Store, and VPC Scales to support clusters of any size Service integrations (like ALB and NLB) are at container level 1 2 3

Kubernetes Ressources (incomplete list) Ressource Pod Basic K8s unit, co-located containers Namespace Non-overlapping group of ressources Replica Set Keeps pod replicas running Service Exposes pod at single stable IP Deployment Rolling update of pods Ingress Expose service with static IP to external client Admission Controller Run code after API request, e.g. inject sidecar
