Everybody loves containers
 Containers
A standard way to package an application and
all its dependencies so that it can be moved
between environments and run without
changes.

Containers work by isolating the differences

between applications inside the container so
that everything outside the container can be
standardized.

Introduction to Docker
Enabling application development efficiency, making deployment more efficient,
eliminating vendor lock-in with true portability
Open Software
Launched March 2013
2.0+ billion downloads of Docker images
Open Contribution
2000+ contributors
#2 most popular project
185 community meet-up groups in 58 countries
Open Design
Contributors include IBM, Red Hat, Google,
Microsoft, VMware, AWS, Rackspace, and others
Open Governance
12 member governance advisory board selected by
the community
Docker Mission
Docker is an open platform for building distributed applications for
developers and system administrators.

Build Ship Run

Any App

Anywhere
Docker Basics A Shipping Container for Code
Image
A read-only snapshot of a container stored in Docker Hub to be used as a template for building
containers

Container
The standard unit in which the application service resides or transported

Docker Hub/Registry
Available in SaaS or Enterprise to deploy anywhere you choose
SaaS Enterprise
Stores, distributes and shares container images

Docker Engine
A program that creates, ships and runs application containers
Runs on any physical and virtual machine or server locally, in private or public cloud
Client communicates with Engine to execute commands
Docker Containers
A technical view into the shared and layered file systems technology
Docker uses a copy-on-write (union) filesystem
New files(& edits) are only visible to current/above layers

Layer app1 app2 app3 app4

Layer tomcat liberty tomcat
Layer Fedora Ubuntu
Base OS / Kernel
Filesystem
Layers allow for reuse
More containers per host
Faster start-up/download time base layers are "cached"
Images
Tarball of layers (each layer is a tarball)
Why Customers are Interested in Containers
Containers are a critical foundation for distributed apps in Hybrid Clouds
text Ship More Software
Accelerate development, CI and CD pipelines by eliminating headaches of setting up environments and
dealing with differences between environments. On average, Docker users ship software 7X more
frequently1.

Resource Efficiency

Lightweight containers run on a single machine and share the same OS kernel while images are
layered file systems sharing common files to make efficient use of RAM and disk and start instantly.

App Portability

Isolated containers package the application, dependencies and configurations together. These
containers can then seamlessly move across environments and infrastructures.

Beta available now.

Combining Docker and Kubernetes to deliver powerful tools,

an intuitive user experience, and built-in security and
isolation to enable rapid delivery of applications - all while
leveraging IBM Cloud Services including cognitive
capabilities from Watson.

The Hype
Interest over time

68% 75%
Feb 26, 2 Sep 1, 2013 Mar 8, 2016 Sep 11, 2016

68% of organizations are using or Businesses using microservices report

investigating microservices. a 75% drop in development lead times.
NGINX survey, 3/29/16 Techcrunch, 1/23/16
The Motivation
Being competitive
requires:

Rapid delivery
Leveraging public cloud
Simple, rapid scaling
Traditional
monoliths
fail:
Changes are
coupled
Not designed for
public cloud
Scaling is complex
The Definition
An engineering approach focused on
decomposing an application into
single-function modules with well-
defined interfaces which are
independently deployed and
operated by a small team who owns
the entire lifecycle of the service.
Microservices is
about people
Microservices accelerate delivery by
minimizing communication and
coordination between people while
reducing the scope and risk of
change.
