DevOps Goals

Automate all the things

How can we automate this?

with Docker containers

Docker

Docker

What are containers?

How do I build them in an automated way?

How is this better than VMs / Puppet / Chef?

"Docker: VM++"

What is Docker?

Docker is an ecosystem around Container Virtualization

What are Containers?

Light-weight kernel virtualization

What is Docker?

A suite of command-line tools for
creating, running, and sharing containers

Containers vs VMs

vm vs container

Source: http://www.zdnet.com/article/what-is-docker-and-why-is-it-so-darn-popular/

Containers

virtualize and share the host kernel

must match host kernel:

  • Linux containers run on a Linux host
  • Windows Server containers run on a Windows Server host

Host Docker in a VM

Devs build Images

FROM microsoft/dotnet:2.1-aspnetcore-runtime

WORKDIR /app

COPY Site.csproj .
RUN dotnet restore

COPY . .

RUN dotnet build -c Release
RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o dist

WORKDIR /app/dist

ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS http://+:5000
EXPOSE 5000
CMD ["dotnet", "Site.dll"]

DEMO: Docker hub dependencies

Layered Filesystem

  • read/write layer
  • demo
    • CMD ["dotnet" "Site.dll"]
    • EXPOSE 5000
    • ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS http://+5000
    • RUN dotnet publish
    • RUN dotnet build
    • RUN dotnet restore
  • ASP.NET
    • Install ASP.NET runtime
    • Install curl

Docker Magic

Inside the Container:

  • A machine
  • Unique IP, hostname
  • Build your perfect snowflake
 

Outside the Container:

  • A process
  • Plug in power and internet
  • Restart quickly
  • Scale by launching more
