• We don't like pets in server farms :)
• We want zero downtime
• We want auto-scaling
• We want to go across different cloud providers

• Docker Swarm
• Kubernetes
• Mesos Marathon
• Cloud Foundry Diego
• Apache Aurora
• Amazon ECS
• Azure container Service

As you could guess, it becomes difficult to choose one. So we thought of taking one Real World App and deploy it in different orchestration engines. For now we would look into Docker Swarm, Kubernetes and Mesos marathon.

• Docker
• Rkt

• Key-Value Store like etcd, consul

• Some form of Overlay network like VxLAN.
• With possibility to plug different neworking solution like Calico.

• Constraints, like run the container where SSD storage is available
• Affinity

• Internal DNS server
• Through environment variables
• Load balancer, HA proxy

• Volume plugins

We are going to look at two examples :-

This is a simple example, which I borrowed from from DockerCon EU tutorial. In that tutorial, the steps are given to orchestrate the simple chat application using Docker Swarm. Here would take that same app and deploy it using Kubernetes and Mesos.

• Swarm

  • Docker Compose - Single system
  • Docker Compose - Swarm Cluster
  • Swarm cluster with Interlock
  • Swarm cluster with Overlay network

• Kubernetes

• Mesos

We thought a real world e-commerce platform would be a nice and came across Magento. While doing some browsing we came across this blog post to deploy Magento2 on Tutum., which gave us good reference.

So first we would deploy Magneto on differnet orhestration engines and then experiment with features like replication, auto-scaling etc.
