1. Building Infrastructure for the Next Generation of Successful African Ventures
2. ANTHONY KIPLIMO Developer Success, Africa’s Talking Developers for Impact IAN JUMA Software Engineer, Africa’s Talking The Architecture of Impact
3. We are a Pan African Platform as a Service company that democratizes access to communication and payments infrastructure to developers across the continent Who is Africa’s Talking?
4. All for the African Developer to bring their ideas to life with ease

9. - Training - Developer Referral Program How we are changing developers’ lives?
10. Impact for Businesses
11. 23,000+ Developers 5000+ Businesses Millions of people everyday 2 1 3 The numbers to date
12. We see a tiered model of impact
13. Developers Businesses Community Four Tiered Model of Impact
14. These businesses reach millions of people everyday. All this powered by infrastructure built on Docker
15. The Architecture for Impact
16. - Adopting docker - Building a cloud-native platform - Transitioning from a traditional ops team The Grand Challenge
17. Before docker - Make a feature, PR - Build an artifact - (sbt) - Push artifact to a server - scp
18. What could go wrong?
19. Configuration management systems are hard!
20. Docker - a configuration management system for everyone
21. Adopting docker… sprinkle some containers they said
22. What could go wrong? - Assumed complexity - Dockerfiles and developer workflows - Old unmaintained images - Operational knowledge - Standard - you have to create a good practices guide
23. ... Image size - “chown -R daemon:daemon duplicates layers” #30110 Security - basic principles, root users, selinux Writing acceptable dockerfiles Using latest tag - not tagging at all A periodic daemon hang #33710 fixed
24. ... Containers will not fix your broken culture Bridget Kromhout
25. CI Build QA Staging Production An easier way?
26. Now… TEST STAGING • Signature verification • Native encryption Scanning Signing Automated Policies Developer PRODUCTION
27. Node Worker Node Worker Node Worker swarm mode cluster Node Worker Node Worker Data Team Using mesos Scala Team using K8s NodeJS Team Using K8s Ops Team Node Worker
28. GitOps
29. - Observability - Developers understand GIT - An option to lock a deployment - Deployment to production is manual
30. copyright flux
31. Opportunities - CI/CD - Operationalizing Docker and container orchestration
32. Closing Thoughts
