Docker on ECS: Microservice Deployment on Amazon EC2 Container Service
Q&A

4. Introduction to Cloud Computing

5. Why move to the Cloud? Is it cost (dollars and hours) savings?
Is it because it’s massively scalable?
Is your CxO bugging you about it?
Is it a shiny object?

6. Cost Savings
Minimize/eliminate up front investment in hardware, software, support, connectivity, etc. (CapEx vs. OpEx)
Minimize/eliminate complexities in cross charging for shared services
Achieve higher economies of scale
“With great power there must also come great responsibility”

7. Scalability
Resource + People + Business (Increased Agility and Speed to Market for less)
Someone else now pays to maintain that excess hardware capacity
Automation allows for the horizontal scale up/scale down of infrastructure
Abstracted services eliminate the guesswork in scaling of storage and other services

8. Availability
Without physical constraints, replacement of failed infrastructure occurs faster
Applications leverage abstracted services where the availability characteristics aren’t your problem
Human error is minimized with automation

9. Security Security First
Shared Responsibility security model across your cloud environment
Each host becomes its own security zone
Infrastructure lifecycle management no longer has a physical component
Administrative activities are done with automation in mind
You are not alone

10. Security - Continued

11. Manageability Configurable Interrogatable
Granular permissions assignment
Ecosystem

12. What about on-premises?
Private Cloud
Hybrid Cloud
Can you achieve the same economies of scale?
Are you in the Cloud Infrastructure business?

13. Where to go next? Pick an Application to Migrate
Document the Application
Review the AWS service offerings
Take a look at the Reference Architectures published by AWS
Take a look at the AWS Marketplace
Do the work

30. AWS Docker on ECS: Microservice Deployment on Amazon EC2 Container Service

31. Key Concepts OMG so many terms
What are the challenges we are trying to solve?
Why use Docker compared to other solutions?
Why use ECS when I can roll my own solution?
Why leverage a Microservices design pattern?
What can I do with all of this great stuff?

32. Docker Terminology Images
A stateless image of a file system containing all dependencies
Containers
A runtime instance of a Docker image
Repository
A set of docker images
Tag
A label used to distinguish one image from another
Registry
A hosted collection of repositories

33. ECS Terminology ECS Elastic Container Service Container Agent
Responsible for communicating between Container Instances and ECS
Container Instances
An EC2 instance running the container agent
Clusters
A group of container instances
Task Definitions
Instance start/container runtime parameters
Services
Quantity of task definitions to run1
Tasks and Scheduling
When to run a task definition (which could be all the time, scheduled, etc.)

34. How does Docker compare with traditional solutions?
Virtualization versus Containerization
Disk Image + Configuration Management versus Container Image
Artifact Creation versus Container Image Creation
Artifact Repository versus Image Repository and Registry
Provisioning + Configuration Management versus Orchestration and Scheduling
Use of Multi-threaded/Multi-task versus Multi-threaded/Single-task
Lifetime of Hours to Months versus Minutes to Days
Resource Management
Bonuses

35. What is a Microservice?
Small and serve a specific purpose (for example, user authentication)
Easy to replace/modular
Platform agnostic/independent (one service can be Node, another can be Go)
Self-contained and eliminates the need for coordinated deployments (for example: a deployment of a new version of the user authentication service does not disrupt the functionality of services dependent on it)
Integrates with other microservices through an API, rather than through shared services (database, cache, filesystem, shared memory, etc.)
Eliminates the need to have intimate or extensive knowledge of the entire application or other teams’ services

36. What’s ECS offer that I’d otherwise have to do on my own?
Management Interfaces
Console
CloudWatch
CLI
API
Logging
CloudTrail
Local
Integration with other AWS services
ELB/ALB
Autoscaling

Amazon Linux
ECS Agent
Docker
Initialization Scripts
30 GB of storage (can increase)
Image Registry (other registries, like Docker Hub and private are supported)
