Microservices, Service Discovery and Registration have been heading towards the peak of inflated expectations on the Gartner Hype cycle for over the last year or so, but there has often been a lack of clarity as to what these are, why are they needed or how to implement them well.
Service discovery and registration are key components of most distributed systems and service oriented architectures. In this session we will talk about what, why and how of service registration and discovery in distributed systems in general and OpenStack in particular.
We will talk about some of the technologies that address this challenge like Zookeeper, Etcd, Consul, Mesos-DNS, Minuteman, SkyDNS, SmartStack or Eureka. We will also address how these technologies as well as existing OpenStack projects can be used to solve this problem inside OpenStack environments.
Attendees will learn about what service registry, discovery in microservices, learn about need for service registration and discovery in a microservices environments. Attendees will get to know about some of the current technologies available to address. Finally, they will be provided with how these technologies can be applied to Openstack environments, and how to combine them with other Openstack projects.
