Becoming the Admiral: mastering Docker orchestration

The transition to containers may be easy enough for developers, but managing and running a fleet of hundreds or thousands of containers can be a daunting change. The “production cliff” of taking Docker from a small proof-of-concept to fully resilient production service is extremely high and often underestimated.
In this talk, I will be discussing the major pitfalls to be aware of when transitioning towards containers in production, simple best practices for running production workloads and how to orchestrate new container infrastructure along with existing virtualised or bare-metal infrastructure.
This won’t just be another “containers are the greatest talk” as I will cover the pitfalls, failings and downsides of running Docker-based container workloads of all types. In addition, we’ll be looking at how to test, migrate, run and monitor production services using orchestrators like Swarm, Kubernetes or OpenShift. Finally, I’ll show you how you can make use of public and hybrid cloud services to make running containerised services easier and get returns sooner.
This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.
linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
