Transcript

1. Orchestrating the Blockchain with Containers Cloudsoft Clocker 2.0 and Hyperledger Andrew Kennedy ContainerCon Europe, October 2016
2. Agenda Clocker 2.0 and Cloudsoft AMP • Application Management • Docker Swarm and Kubernetes • Container Management Hyperledger and Blockchain • Blockchain Introduction • Hyperledger • Demo @grkvlt
3. Cloudsoft AMP @grkvlt
4. Problem Solving Large and Complex Ecosystem Fast-moving Updates Complex Deployments Inconsistent Documentation Lack of Runtime Management @grkvlt
5. What Does AMP Do? MODEL DEPLOY MANAGE INSTANTIATE SENSE EFFECT Capture Best Practices Dynamic Live Model Maintain SLAs My Model Apache Tomcat MySQL Load Balancer @grkvlt
6. AMP – Infrastructure Agnostic Physical Virtual Local – Private - Dedicated Public @grkvlt
7. Application Management Runtime management of deployed applications. Policies use application-specific metrics such as latency or transactions per second, averaged across groups of services to give meaningful results. Operations like scaling, failover and service monitoring can be added to any application blueprint using these policies. @grkvlt
8. Enterprise Problem Solving Need reliable cloud-native application patterns to be competitive Management is tied to infra layer with manual or missing processes for applications and services, causing risk and hindering adoption Increasingly diverse platforms & infrastructure mean applications are hard to track, increasing the cost & risk of digital transformation @grkvlt
9. Container Services Deploy and manage Docker Swarm clusters and Kubernetes clusters. Production-ready infrastructure with TLS, high-availability and extensions like Flannel, Calico and Canal for networking. Can also connect to existing infrastructure provisioned and managed externally, by specifying appropriate API endpoints. Containerize applications by simply deploying blueprints to container-aware locations or build hybrid applications from virtual machines, containers and pods. @grkvlt
10. Clocker 2.0 @grkvlt
11. Clocker 2.0 Series of open-source blueprints for Swarm and Kubernetes. Simplifies creation of managed deployments, ready for immediate deployment of containerized applications. Reusable component library to enable creation of applications incorporating Docker and Kubernetes. With Cloudsoft AMP allows seamless deployment to these infrastructures. @grkvlt
12. Docker Swarm Blueprint services: - type: docker-swarm id: swarm name: "swarm" brooklyn.config: start.timeout: 30m swarm.initial.size: 8 swarm.max.size: 16 swarm.manager.size: 3 etcd.initial.size: 3 swarm.defaultnetwork: "swarm" swarm.scaling.cpu.limit: 0.80 swarm.strategy: "binpack" swarm.overcommit: 0.50 @grkvlt
13. Swarm Architecture @grkvlt
15. Kubernetes Blueprint services: - type: kubernetes-cluster-application id: kubernetes name: "kubernetes" brooklyn.config: kubernetes.debug: true kubernetes.version: 1.4.0 start.timeout: 30m kubernetes.master.size: 2 kubernetes.initial.size: 4 kubernetes.max.size: 16 etcd.initial.size: 3 kubernetes.scaling.cpu.limit: 0.95 flannel.network: 10.254.0.0/16 @grkvlt
16. Kubernetes Architecture @grkvlt
17. Kubernetes Pod Blueprint location: kubernetes: endpoint: "https://192.168.99.100:8443/" services: - type: io.cloudsoft.amp.container.kubernetes.entity.KubernetesPod brooklyn.children: - type: io.cloudsoft.amp.containerservice.dockercontainer.DockerContainer id: wordpress-mysql name: MySQL brooklyn.config: docker.container.imageName: mysql:5.6 docker.container.inboundPorts: [ "3306" ] env: { MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: "password" } provisioning.properties: kubernetes.deployment: wordpress-mysql - type: io.cloudsoft.amp.containerservice.dockercontainer.DockerContainer id: wordpress name: Wordpress brooklyn.config: docker.container.imageName: wordpress:4.4-apache docker.container.inboundPorts: [ "80" ] env: { WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: "wordpress-mysql", WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: "password" } @grkvlt
18. Kubernetes Demo @grkvlt
20. Hyperledger and Blockchain @grkvlt
21. Blockchain "Blockchain is a technology for a new generation of transactional applications that establishes trust, accountability and transparency while streamlining business processes." Or... "Blockchain is a distributed, cryptographically secure ledger of transactions." @grkvlt
22. Blockchain Overview @grkvlt
23. Blockchain Overview @grkvlt
24. Blockchain Overview @grkvlt
25. Hyperledger Fabric The Hyperledger Project is a collaborative effort created to advance blockchain technology by identifying and addressing important features for a cross-industry open standard for distributed ledgers that can transform the way business transactions are conducted globally. @grkvlt
26. Hyperledger Fabric • Open Source • Originally IBM Blockchain • Graduated to become first Hyperledger Foundation incubator project • Linux Foundation Collaboration @grkvlt
28. • Identity • Privacy • Confidentiality • Auditability Hyperledger Fabric @grkvlt
29. Hyperledger Application The Hyperledger Application Fabric is a group of Clusters of Docker Engines spread across different regions, giving a global deployment that can be easily scaled and extended. Hyperledger components are Docker containers providing Blockchain services. @grkvlt
30. Hyperledger Blueprint @grkvlt locations: - sjc-cloud - lon-cloud - sng-cloud services: - type: hyperledger-fabric name: Hyperledger Fabric Cluster brooklyn.config: hyperledger.peers.per.location: 4 hyperledger.app.timeout: 200 ...
31. Hyperledger Application We will demonstrate an asset management chaincode application that spins up a non-validating peer in a Docker container, deploys the chaincode onto the validating peer cluster and then performs the following transactions: 1. Assigns an asset to Alice 2. Transfers to Bob and verifies ownership 3. Transfers to Charlie and verifies ownership 4. Transfers to Dave and verifies ownership @grkvlt
32. Hyperledger Demo @grkvlt
33. AMP 4 Velocity @grkvlt Consistency Control Grow effortlessly and Scale and dynamically with workloads Common management tooling across all applications from pets to cattle Agnostic so you can combine bare metal, virtual machines and containers Simple and consistent management view of applications
