LinuxCon + ContainerCon North America 2016

Container operations spans a range of activities: appops write code and package it as a container images; they run tests and deploy a new version of a service or app as well as operate it using container orchestration systems. In this talk you'll learn how the open source project DC/OS (https://dcos.io) helps you covering all phases of container operations from building, testing and delivering Containers (GitHub, Jenkins and Marathon) to deployment strategies as well as logging and monitoring. We will discuss challenges and best practices around container operations, based on real-world customer workloads as well provide a live demonstration of a container orchestration flow using DC/OS.

We rely on our monitoring to tell us when our services, Applications, or infrastructure diverge from “normal.” Containers have created a new world of dynamic infrastructure where normal is changing constantly, making it quite difficult to define. How do you check if a service is up when your scheduler or clustering tools are changing the hosts and ports it runs on? Ilan Rabinovitch takes a deep dive into techniques for leveraging service discovery into your monitoring workflow and explains how to instrument your code in your Containers and track the performance and availability of your Applications as they move around. The techniques discussed will apply regardless of the monitoring platform you choose.
