A very popular way to run workloads on a cloud infrastructure is containers and when a workload has certain size you need a container orchestrator. The solution that stands out the most is kubernetes, but Docker swarm Mesos/DCOS are popular too. End-Users can use the OpenStack APIs to deploy kubernetes or another solution and manage the whole infrastructure. Magnum is a TurnKey solution for container clusters, including Kubernetes, Docker Swarm and DC/OS.
We will share how we run a container service and lessons learned from running Magnum in production. We will present how Cloud operators can provide a managed container service allowing users to manage only their applications and not worry about managing the infrastructure. Magnum’s focus is cluster lifecycle operations both from the user’s and operator’s perspective, so common user requests are scaling on demand, upgrading the infrastructure, monitoring and repairing clusters.
From this talk, you can expect to learn how to provide a turnkey container infrastructure service on OpenStack.
