First, I am software developer (C/C++, ASM, C#, Java, Node.js, etc)

O’Reilly Author (Just about to release my second 8 hour course)

I help companies migrate off monolithic architectures

Support Executive Escalations, Evaluate potential acquisitions/partnerships for leadership team

Onboard strategically important ISVs onto Azure - focusing on Linux-based workloads.

Currently, focusing on distributed architectures, the democratization of container-based workloads

Excited about platform-as-a-service abstractions to manage large distributed workloads.

The birth of

the container

The ability to break a problem into smaller pieces is always

beneficial in unexpected ways, and containers offer a way of

doing that on a scale not possible before.

Container Essential Value Propositions

Running apps in isolation

Abstracting the plumbing

Democratizing distributed applications

Running anywhere

Getting to production

Higher Application Density

Predictable Dev Test Prod

Not just about optimizing application performance

Focus now is optimizing the speed of service delivery

More than just about cost

It is about creating new revenue streams

A NEW ARCHITECTURAL STYLE

22

Most Widely Used Images

NGINXDocker is being used to contain a lot of HTTP servers, it seems. It is interesting that

Apache (httpd) didn’t make the top 10.

RedisThis popular in-memory key/value data store is often used as an in-memory

database, message queue, or cache.

Ubuntu Still the default to build images.

LogspoutFor collecting logs from all containers on a host, and routing them to wherever

they need to go.

MongoDB The widely-used NoSQL datastore.

Elasticsearch Full text search.

CAdvisor Used by Kubernetes to collect metrics from containers.

MySQLThe most widely used open source database in the world.

Postgres

The second-most widely used open source database in the world. Adding the

Postgres and MySQL numbers, it appears that using Docker to run relational

databases is surprisingly common.

23

Microservices

Microservices are currently getting a lot of attention

Articles

Blogs

Social media

Conference presentations

( like this one )

Micrososervices are architectural style

A single application as a suite of small services

Each service runs running in its own process

Serivce communication via lightweight mechanisms

Often with an HTTP protocol

A potential architecture to build your own taxi service

Microservices unlock

the real payoff for

containers

They are vehicle for

those independently

deployable pieces

Where can you run these containers? Azure Cloud-hosted Server

Host OS (Windows)

Generally you run one app per

container, although more is

possible.
