8. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Images by Connie Zhou Observations: • Containers make everyone more productive • Everything at Google runs in a Container! • The Datacenter is one big System ◦ On which we schedule Containers See this video for more on Scheduling at Google: https://youtu.be/elHbkoJOBNE?t=4426 http://goo.gl/1C4nuo (Borg paper)
9. Kubernetes
10. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Greek for “Helmsman”; also the root of the word “Governor” • Orchestrator for Docker containers • Supports multi-cloud environments • Inspired and informed by Google’s experiences and internal systems • Open source, written in Go Manage applications, not machines Kubernetes
11. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud web browsers y Kubelet Kubelet Kubelet Kubelet Kubernetes Master Replication Controller Scheduler API Server Kube-UI Container Registry kubectl Proxy <Your App> web browsers Developer View (Kubernetes)
12. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud The atom of scheduling for containers Represents an application specific logical host Hosts containers and volumes Each has its own routable (no NAT) IP address Ephemeral • Pods are functionally identical and therefore ephemeral and replaceable Pod Web Server Volume Consumers Pods
13. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Can be used to group multiple containers & shared volumes Containers within a pod are tightly coupled Shared namespaces • Containers in a pod share a network IP and port namespace • Pods Pod Git Synchronizer Node.js App Container Volume Consumers Github
14. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Pod Networking (across nodes) Pods have IPs which are routable Pods can reach each other without NAT • Even across nodes No Brokering of Port Numbers These are fundamental requirements Many solutions • Flannel, Weave, Cloud Provider 10.1.2.0/24 10.1.1.0/24 10.1.1.211 10.1.1.2 10.1.2.106 10.1.3.0/24 10.1.3.45 10.1.3.17 10.1.3.0/24
15. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Dashboard show: type = FE Pod Pod frontend Pod frontend Pod Pod Dashboard show: version = v2 type = FE version = v2 type = FE version = v2 • Metadata with semantic meaning • Membership identifier • The only Grouping Mechanism Behavior Benefits ➔ Allow for intent of many users (e.g. dashboards) ➔ Build higher level systems … ➔ Queryable by Selectors Labels ← These are important
16. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Replication Controller Pod Pod frontend Pod frontend Pod Pod Replication Controller #pods = 1 version = v2 show: version = v2 version= v1 version = v1 version = v2 Replication Controller #pods = 2 version = v1 show: version = v2 Behavior Benefits • Keeps Pods running • Gives direct control of Pod #s • Grouped by Label Selector ➔ Recreates Pods, maintains desired state ➔ Fine-grained control for scaling ➔ Standard grouping semantics Replication Controllers
17. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Portal (VIP) Client Pod Container Pod Container Pod Container Container A logical grouping of pods that perform the same function • grouped by label selector Load balances incoming requests across constituent pods Choice of pod is random but supports session affinity (ClientIP) Gets a stable virtual IP and port • also a DNS name Services
18. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Developer View (Replication Controller) spec: containers: - name: php-guestbook image: php-guestbook:containercamp resources: limits: memory: "128Mi" cpu: "500m" ports: - containerPort: 80 protocol: TCP replicas: 1 10000

20. HTTP/2, ProtoBufs and gRPC
21. • Improve end-user perceived latency • Address the "head of line blocking" • Not require multiple connections • Retain the semantics of HTTP/1.1 "HTTP/2 is a protocol designed for low- latency transport of content over the World Wide Web"
22. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud HTTP/2 HTTP/1.1 http://www.http2demo.io/
23. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud • One TCP connection • Request → Stream ◦ Streams are multiplexed ◦ Streams are prioritized • Binary framing layer ◦ Prioritization ◦ Flow control ◦ Server push • Header compression HTTP/2 in one slide…
24. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud What are Protocol Buffers? Structured representation of data Google's lingua franca for data • 48k+ Message Types • 12k+ Proto files Evolutionary Development Incrementally solved problems, Now used for: • RPC Systems • Persistent Data Storage
25. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Protocol buffers: • Efficient and compact binary data representation • Clear compatibility rules; can easily be extended over time • Generates idiomatic, easy to use classes for many languages • Strongly typed; less error prone Why Protocol Buffers? Why?
26. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Protocol Buffers language version 3 Specified by syntax = “proto3”; proto2 continues to be supported All fields are optional in proto3 No user specified default values No groups (FYI for those that use them) Message Format (proto3) syntax = “proto3”; message Person { string name = 1; int32 id = 2; string email = 3; enum PhoneType { MOBILE = 0; HOME = 1; WORK = 2; } message PhoneNumber { string number = 1; PhoneType type = 2; } repeated PhoneNumber phone = 4; }
27. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Add new fields without breaking backwards-compatibility old implementations ignore the new fields when parsing In proto3 any field can be removed, but don’t renumber existing fields Extensible syntax = “proto3”; message Person { string name = 1; int32 id = 2; string email = 3; address addr = 4; message address { string firstLine = 1; string secondLine = 2; string postalCode = 3; string country = 4; } ... }
28. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud https://github.com/google/protobuf Protocol Buffer Compiler
29. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud gRPC goals Enable developers to build micro- service-based applications Build an open source, standards-based, best-of-breed, feature-rich RPC system Create easy-to-use, efficient and idiomatic libraries micro-services performant and scalable efficient and idiomatic Provide a performant and scalable RPC framework
30. “The biggest issue in changing a monolith into microservices lies in changing the communication pattern.” - Martin Fowler
31. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud IDL to describe an API Automatically generated servers and clients in 10+ languages Takes advantage of feature set of HTTP/2 Lightweight open connections Point to point Streaming! Bidirectional streaming! gRPC in a nutshell
32. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Getting Started Define a service in a .proto file using Protocol Buffers IDL Generate server and client code using the protocol buffer compiler Use the gRPC API to write a simple client and server for your service in the languages of your choice
33. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud gRPC Language Support Implementations • C core ◦ Native bindings in C++, Node.js, Python, Ruby, ObjC, PHP, C# • Java using Netty or OkHttp (+ inProcess for testing) • Go
34. Microservices

How many? Canonical example of control loops Have one job: ensure N copies of a pod • if too few, start new ones • if too many, kill some • group == selector Replicated pods are fungible • No implied order or identity Replication Controllers

51. #dfua, @tekgrrl, @googlecloud Freedom to pick the language independently for each micro-service, based on performance, library availability, team expertise etc MicroServices using gRPC Loosely coupled development Blocks of functionality can be broken off into separate MicroService. Allows organic growth Multi-language High Performance Make use of the strengths of HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers
