Visa Inc. Gains Speed and Operational Efficiency with Docker Enterprise Edition

#DockerCon 2017 was an opportunity to hear from customers across multiple industries and segments on how they are leveraging #Docker technology to accelerate their business. In the keynote on Day 2 and also a breakout session that afternoon, Visa shared how Docker Enterprise Edition is empowering them on their mission is to make global economies safer by digitizing currency and making electronic payments available to everyone, everywhere.
 
Visa is the world’s largest retail electronic payment network that handles 130 billion transactions a year, processing $5.8 trillion annually. Swamy Kocherlakota, Global Head of Infrastructure and Operations, shared that Visa got here by expanding their global footprint which has put pressure on his organization which has remained mostly flat in headcount during that time. Since going into production with their Docker Containers-as-a-Service architecture 6 months ago, Mr. Kocherlakota has seen a 10x increase in scalability, ensuring that his organization will be able to support their overall mission and growth objectives well into the future.
Global Growth Fuels Need for A New Operating Model
In aligning his organization to the company mission, Swamy decided to focus on two primary metrics: Speed and Efficiency.

Speed is tied to developer on boarding and developer productivity. Visa wants new developers to be able to deploy code on their first day. That means giving them tools they are familiar with and getting out of their way. It also means providing developers access to infrastructure whenever and wherever they need it.

Efficiency is tied to Visa’s ability to maximize utilization of their existing datacenter footprint while also reducing the time the team spends on patching and refreshing hardware. Optimizing their efficiency also frees up both headcount and datacenter resources to support their global growth initiatives.

While considering how they could support these objectives, Visa also has to meet the high bar on security and availability that underpins everything they do. Some of the core systems at Visa have had zero downtime over a span of 20 years!
Modernizing with Docker Enterprise Edition
After investigating different technologies and vendors who could help them achieve both speed and efficiency objectives, Visa chose Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) to help them move towards a microservices application model while also modernizing their data center operations.
Visa was looking for an enterprise-ready solution and appreciated the integrated approach of the Docker EE stack which includes scheduling, service registry, service discovery, container networking, and a centralized management control plane. Docker EE allows them to manage multiple development, QA, and staging environments, gain visibility across their container environment, and retain full control over role-based access.
Visa chose two key applications to begin their Docker journey – a core transaction processing application and a risk decision system. These were legacy monolithic applications which they began to containerize into services. Those two applications are now running in production on Docker EE across multiple regions and handling 100,000 transactions per day. They consist of 100 separate containers and have the ability to instantly scale to 800 when transactions peak.
To learn more about Visa’s application architecture, watch the breakout Docker Networking in Production at Visa below:

Results and Benefits

With Docker EE now in production, Visa is seeing improvements in a number of ways:

Provisioning time: Visa can now provision in seconds rather than days even while more application teams join the effort. They can also deliver just-in-time infrastructure across multiple datacenters around the world with a standardized format that works across their diverse set of applications.
Patching & maintenance: With Docker, Visa can simply redeploy an application with a new image. This also allows Visa to respond quickly to new threats as they can deploy patches across their entire environment at one time.
Tech Refresh: Once applications are containerized with Docker, developers do not have to worry about the underlying infrastructure; the infrastructure is invisible.
Multi-tenancy: Docker containers provides both space and time division multiplexing by allowing Visa to provision and deprovision microservices quickly as needed. This allows them to strategically place new services into the available infrastructure which has allowed the team to support 10x the scale they could previously.

To hear more about how Visa was able to gain 10x scalability for their application with Docker, watch Swamy’s presentation from the Day 2 general session below:

Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) is designed for enterprise development and IT teams who build, ship and run business critical applications in production at scale. Docker EE is integrated, certified and supported to provide enterprises like Visa with the most secure container platform in the industry to modernize all applications.

DockerCon 2017 Day 2 Highlights

Following the general session highlights from #DockerCon Day 1, we’re happy to share with you the video recording from general session day 2. All the slides will soon be published on our slideshare account and all the breakout session video recordings available on our DockerCon 2017 youtube playlist.

Here’s what we covered during the day 2 general session:

14:00 Docker Enterprise Edition at Visa
30:00 Securing the Software supply chain
65:00 Oracle applications now available on Docker Store
75:00 Modernize your Traditional Apps Program with Docker

Docker Enterprise Edition at Visa
Ben started off his DockerCon Day 1 keynote with key facts and figures around Docker Commercial Adoption. To illustrate his points Ben invited on stage Swamy Kochelakota, Global Head of Infrastructure and Operations at Visa to talk about their journey adopting Docker Enterprise Edition to run their critical applications at scale in a very diverse environment.
Securing the Software supply chain
During the day 2 keynote, Lily and Vivek and reprise their 2016 roles of dedicated burners, finally returning from Burning Man to get back to their jobs of enterprise dev and ops.  Ben returns as clueless business guy, and decides to add value by hiring a contractor, who also went to Burning Man and pushed code from there. Company policy says that developers push code to dev repos, and if they pass certain criteria they are promoted to prod repos, and they can be deployed. The code written from Burning Man was laden with vulnerabilities and failed the promotion step. Luckily, Lily was able to clean up the image and pass it through promotions. Vivek then deployed the full stack, which consisted of an linux frontend and MS SQL DB on Windows. Using docker, he was able to deploy this stack on a hybrid Linux Windows cluster with just 1 click, bringing up the Enterprise Art Store and showing off some great enterprise art.
Oracle applications now available on Docker Store
Ben later asks Lily and Vivek to deploy the software from a 90s ecommerce company he acquired within an hour, and to do it in the container thingies. The app consists of a LAMP stack VM and Oracle DB. Vivek is skeptical that this can be containerized within an hour, but Lily is convinced Docker’s tools can handle it, so they make a bet of $20. Lily uses image2docker to convert the LAMP stack VM into a container without any code change. And as it turns out, Oracle has recently collaborated with Docker to containerize many of their apps, including OracleDB! The database is now an official product on the Docker Store, and can be found here. Using the converted VM and OracleDB from the store, Vivek was able to deploy the 90s app within the 1 hour time limit. Read more about Oracle database and developer tools now available on Docker Store.
Modernize your Traditional Apps Program with Docker
Finally, Ben announced the Modernize Traditional Applications (#MTA) Program to help enterprises make their existing legacy apps more secure, more efficient and portable to hybrid cloud infrastructure.  Collaboratively developed and brought to market with partners Avanade, Cisco, HPE, and Microsoft, the MTA Program consists of consulting services, Docker Enterprise Edition, and hybrid cloud infrastructure from partners to modernize existing .NET Windows or Java Linux applications in five days or less.  Designed for IT operations teams, the MTA Program modernizes existing legacy applications without modifying source code or re-architecting the application.  Read more about the Modernize Traditional Apps Program.

DockerCon 2017 Day 1 Highlights

What an incredible #DockerCon 2017 we had last week. Big thank you to all of the 150+ confirmed speakers, 100+ sponsors and over 5,500 attendees for contributing to the success of these amazing 3 days in Austin. You’ll find below the videos and slides from general session day 1.All the slides will soon be published on our slideshare account and all the breakout session video recordings available on our DockerCon 2017 youtube playlist.

Here’s what we covered during the day 1 general session:

17:00 Developer Workflow improvements and demo
37:00 Secure Orchestration and demo
59:00 Introducing #LinuxKit: a toolkit for building secure, lean and portable linux subsystems
1:15 Introducing the Moby Project: a new open source project to advance the software containerization movement

Development workflow Improvements
Solomon’s keynote started by introducing new Docker features to improve the development workflows of Docker users: multi-stage builds and desktop-to-cloud integration. With multi-stage builds you can now easily separate your build-time and runtime container images, allowing development teams to ship minimal and efficient images. It’s time to say goodbye to those custom and non-portable build scripts! With desktop-to-cloud you can easily connect to a remote swarm cluster using your Docker ID for authentication, without having to worry about maintaining a complex public key infrastructure, nor requiring developers to get ssh access to the hosts themselves. Desktop-to-cloud is the fastest way for development teams to collaborate on shared pre-production environments.
Secure orchestration
In his presentation, Diogo Monica talks about SwarmKit and how to take the security of orchestration to the next level with secure node introduction, cryptographic node identify, MTLS between all nodes, cluster segmentation, encrypted networks and secure secret distribution. Watch the video to see a demo of this secure orchestration layer in action within an enterprise.
LinuxKit
Solomon then introduced a new component bringing Linux container functionality to new and varied platforms, from IoT to mainframes. This component called LinuxKit includes the tooling to allow building custom Linux subsystems that only include exactly the components the runtime platform requires. All system services are containers that can be replaced, and everything that is not required can be removed. All components can be substituted with ones that match specific needs. It is a kit, very much in the Docker philosophy of batteries included but swappable. Read more about LinuxKit.

Moby Project
Finally, Solomon announced the Moby Project, a new open-source project to advance the software containerization movement and help the ecosystem take containers mainstream. It provides a library of components, a framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas. Read more about the Moby Project. 
Docker users, please refer to Moby and Docker to clarify the relationship between the projects. Docker maintainers and contributors, please check out Transitioning to Moby for more details.

OK, I give up. Is Docker now Moby? And what is LinuxKit?

The post OK, I give up. Is Docker now Moby? And what is #LinuxKit? appeared first on Mirantis | Pure Play Open Cloud.
This week at #DockerCon, Docker made several announcements, but one in particular caused massive confusion as users thought that “Docker” was becoming &8220;Moby.&8221;  Well… OK, but which Docker? The Register probably put it best, when they said, &8220;Docker (the company) decided to differentiate Docker (the commercial software products Docker CE and Docker EE) from Docker (the open source project).&8221;  Tack on a second project about building core operating systems, and there’s a lot to unpack.
Let&8217;s start with Moby.  
What is Moby?
Docker, being the foundation of many peoples&8217; understanding of containers, unsurprisingly isn&8217;t a single monolithic application.  Instead, it&8217;s made up of components such as runc, containerd, InfraKit, and so on. The community works on those components (along with Docker, of course) and when it&8217;s time for a release, Docker packages them all up and out they go. With all of those pieces, as you might imagine, it&8217;s not a simple task.
And what happens if you want your own custom version of Docker?  After all, Docker is built on the philosophy of &8220;batteries included but swappable&8221;.  How easy is it to swap something out?
In his blog post introducing the Moby Project, Solomon Hykes explained that the idea is to simplify the process of combining components into something usable. &8220;We needed our teams to collaborate not only on components, but also on assemblies of components, borrowing an idea from the car industry where assemblies of components are reused to build completely different cars.&8221;
Hykes explained that from now on, Docker releases would be built using Moby and its components.  At the moment there are 80+ components that can be combined into assemblies.  He further explained that:
&8220;Moby is comprised of:

A library of containerized backend components (e.g., a low-level builder, logging facility, volume management, networking, image management, containerd, SwarmKit, …)
A framework for assembling the components into a standalone container platform, and tooling to build, test and deploy artifacts for these assemblies.
A reference assembly, called Moby Origin, which is the open base for the Docker container platform, as well as examples of container systems using various components from the Moby library or from other projects.&8221;

Who needs to know about Moby?
The first group that needs to know about Moby is Docker developers, as in the people building the actual Docker software, and not people building applications using Docker containers, or even people building Docker containers.  (Here&8217;s hoping that eventually this nomenclature gets cleared up.)  Docker developers should just continue on as usual, and Docker pull requests will be reouted to the Moby project.
So everyone else is off the hook, right?
Well, um, no.
If all you do is pull together containers from pre-existing components and software you write yourself, then you&8217;re good; you don&8217;t need to worry about Moby. Unless, that is, you aren&8217;t happy with your available Linux distributions.
Enter LinuxKit.
What is LinuxKit?
While many think that Docker invented the container, in actuality linux containers had been around for some time, and Docker containers are based on them.  Which is really convenient — if you&8217;re using Linux.  If, on the other hand, you are using a system that doesn&8217;t include Linux, such as a Mac, a Windows PC, or that Raspberry Pi you want to turn into an automatic goat feeder, you&8217;ve got a problem.
Docker requires linuxcontainers.  Which is a problem if you have no linux.
Enter LinuxKit.  
The idea behind LinuxKit is that you start with a minimal Linux kernal &8212; the base distro is only 35MB &8212; and add literally only what you need. Once you have that, you can build your application on it, and run it wherever you need to.  Stephen Foskitt tweeted a picture of an example from the announcement:

More about LinuxKit DockerCon pic.twitter.com/TfRJ47yBdB
— Stephen Foskett (@SFoskett) April 18, 2017

The end result is that you can build containers that run on desktops, mainframes, bare metal, IoT, and VMs.
The project will be managed by the Linux Foundation, which is only fitting.
So what about Alpine, the minimal Linux that&8217;s at the heart of Docker?  Docker&8217;s security director, Nathan McCauley said that &8220;LinuxKit&8217;s roots are in Alpine.&8221;  The company will continue to use it for Docker.

Today we launch LinuxKit &8212; a Linux subsystem focussed on security. pic.twitter.com/Q0YJsX67ZT
— Nathan McCauley (@nathanmccauley) April 18, 2017

So what does this have to do with Moby?
Where LinuxKit has to do with Moby
If you&8217;re salivating at the idea of building your own Linux distribution, take a deep breath. LinuxKit is an assembly within Moby.  
So if you want to use LinuxKit, you need to download and install Moby, then use it to build your LinuxKit pieces.
So there you have it. You now have the ability to build your own Linux system, and your own containerization system. But it&8217;s definitely not for the faint of heart.

DockerCon 2017: Moby’s Cool Hack sessions

Every year at #DockerCon, we expand the bounds of what Docker can do with new features and products. And every day, we see great new apps that are built on top of Docker. And yet, there’s always a few that stand out not just for being cool apps, but for pushing the bounds of what you can do with Docker.
This year we had two great apps that we featured in the Docker Cool Hacks closing keynote. Both hacks came from members of our Docker Captains program, a group of people from the Docker community who are recognized by Docker as very knowledgeable about Docker, and contribute quite a bit to the community.
Play with Docker
The first Cool Hack was Play with Docker by Marcos Nils and Jonathan Leibiusky. Marcos and Jonathan actually were featured in the Cool Hacks session at DockerCon EU in 2015 for their work on a Container Migration Tool.
Play with Docker is a Docker playground that you can run in your browser.

Play with Docker’s architecture is a Swarm of Swarms, running Docker in Docker instances.

Running on pretty beefy hosts r3.4xlarge on AWS – Play with Docker is able to run about 3500 containers per host, only running containers as needed for a session. Play with Docker is completely open source, so you can run it on your own infrastructure. And they welcome contributions on their GitHub repo.
FaaS (Function as a Service)
The second Cool Hack was Functions as a Service (FaaS) by Alex Ellis. FaaS is a framework for building serverless functions on Docker Swarm with first class support for metrics. Any UNIX process can be packaged as a function enabling you to consume a range of web events without repetitive boilerplate coding. Each function runs as a container that only runs as long as it takes to run the function.

FaaS also comes with a convenient gateway tester that allows you to try out each of your functions directly in the browser.

FaaS is actively seeking contributions, so feel free to send issues and PRs on the GitHub repo.
Check out the video recording of the cool hack sessions below:

Learn Docker with our DockerCon 2017 Hands-On Labs

We’re excited to announce that #DockerCon 2017 will feature a comprehensive set of hands-on labs. We first introduced hands-on labs at DockerCon EU in 2015, and they were also part of DockerCon 2016 last year in Seattle. This year we’re offering a broader range of topics that cover the interests of both developers and operations personnel on both Windows and Linux (see below for a full list)
These hands-on labs are designed to be self-paced, and are run on the attendee’s laptop. But, don’t worry, all the infrastructure will be hosted again this year on Microsoft Azure. So, all you will need is a laptop capable of instantiating a remote session over SSH (for Linux) or RDP (for Windows).

We’ll have a nice space set up in between the ecosystem expo and breakout rooms for you to work on the labs. There will be tables and stools along with power and wireless Internet access as well as lab proctors to answer questions. But, because of the way the labs are set up, you could also stop by, sign up, and take your laptop to a quiet spot and work on your own.
As you can tell, we’re pretty stoked on the labs, and we think you will be to.
See you in Austin!
DockerCon 2017 Hands-on Labs

Title

Abstract

#Docker Orchestration

In this lab you can play around with the container orchestration features of Docker. You will deploy a Dockerized application to a single host and test the application. You will then configure Docker Swarm Mode and deploy the same application across multiple hosts. You will then see how to scale the application and move the workload across different hosts easily.

Docker Networking

In this lab you will learn about key Docker Networking concepts. You will get your hands dirty by going through examples of a few basic concepts, learn about Bridge and Overlay networking, and finally learning about the Swarm Routing Mesh.

Modernize .NET Apps – for Devs.

A developer’s guide to app migration, showing how the Docker platform lets you update a monolithic application without doing a full rebuild. You’ll start with a sample app and see how to break components out into separate units, plumbing the units together with the Docker platform and the tried-and-trusted applications available on Docker Hub.

Modernize .NET Apps &8211; for Ops.

An admin guide to migrating .NET apps to Docker images, showing how the build, ship, run workflow makes application maintenance fast and risk-free. You’ll start by migrating a sample app to Docker, and then learn how to upgrade the application, patch the Windows version the app uses, and patch the Windows version on the host &8211; all with zero downtime.

Getting Started with Docker on Windows Server 2016

Get started with Docker on Windows, and learn why the world is moving to containers. You’ll start by exploring the Windows Docker images from Microsoft, then you’ll run some simple applications, and learn how to scale apps across multiple servers running Docker in swarm mode

Building a CI / CD Pipeline in Docker Cloud

In this lab you will construct a CI / CD pipeline using Docker Cloud. You’ll connect your GitHub account to Docker Cloud, and set up triggers so that when a change is pushed to GitHub, a new version of your Docker container is built.

Discovering and Deploying Certified Content with Docker Store

In this lab you will learn how to locate certified containers and plugins on docker store. You&8217;ll then deploy both a certified Docker image, as well as a certified Docker plugin.

Deploying Applications with Docker EE (Docker DataCenter)

In this lab you will deploy an application that takes advantage of some of the latest features of Docker EE (Docker Datacenter). The tutorial will lead you through building a compose file that can deploy a full application on UCP in one click. Capabilities that you will use in this application deployment include:

Docker services
Application scaling and failure mitigation
Layer 7 load balancing
Overlay networking
Application secrets
Application health checks
RBAC-based control and visibility with teams

Vulnerability Detection and Remediation with Docker EE (Docker Datacenter)

Application vulnerabilities are a continuous threat and must be continuously managed. In this tutorial we will show you how Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) can detect known vulnerabilities through image security scanning. You will detect a vulnerability in a running app, patch the app, and then apply a rolling update to gradually deploy the update across your cluster without causing any application downtime.

Learn Docker with our DockerCon 2017 Hands-On Labs

We’re excited to announce that #DockerCon 2017 will feature a comprehensive set of hands-on labs. We first introduced hands-on labs at DockerCon EU in 2015, and they were also part of DockerCon 2016 last year in Seattle. This year we’re offering a broader range of topics that cover the interests of both developers and operations personnel on both Windows and Linux (see below for a full list)
These hands-on labs are designed to be self-paced, and are run on the attendee’s laptop. But, don’t worry, all the infrastructure will be hosted again this year on Microsoft Azure. So, all you will need is a laptop capable of instantiating a remote session over SSH (for Linux) or RDP (for Windows).

We’ll have a nice space set up in between the ecosystem expo and breakout rooms for you to work on the labs. There will be tables and stools along with power and wireless Internet access as well as lab proctors to answer questions. But, because of the way the labs are set up, you could also stop by, sign up, and take your laptop to a quiet spot and work on your own.
As you can tell, we’re pretty stoked on the labs, and we think you will be to.
See you in Austin!
DockerCon 2017 Hands-on Labs

Title

Abstract

#Docker Orchestration

In this lab you can play around with the container orchestration features of Docker. You will deploy a Dockerized application to a single host and test the application. You will then configure Docker Swarm Mode and deploy the same application across multiple hosts. You will then see how to scale the application and move the workload across different hosts easily.

Docker Networking

In this lab you will learn about key Docker Networking concepts. You will get your hands dirty by going through examples of a few basic concepts, learn about Bridge and Overlay networking, and finally learning about the Swarm Routing Mesh.

Modernize .NET Apps – for Devs.

A developer’s guide to app migration, showing how the Docker platform lets you update a monolithic application without doing a full rebuild. You’ll start with a sample app and see how to break components out into separate units, plumbing the units together with the Docker platform and the tried-and-trusted applications available on Docker Hub.

Modernize .NET Apps &8211; for Ops.

An admin guide to migrating .NET apps to Docker images, showing how the build, ship, run workflow makes application maintenance fast and risk-free. You’ll start by migrating a sample app to Docker, and then learn how to upgrade the application, patch the Windows version the app uses, and patch the Windows version on the host &8211; all with zero downtime.

Getting Started with Docker on Windows Server 2016

Get started with Docker on Windows, and learn why the world is moving to containers. You’ll start by exploring the Windows Docker images from Microsoft, then you’ll run some simple applications, and learn how to scale apps across multiple servers running Docker in swarm mode

Building a CI / CD Pipeline in Docker Cloud

In this lab you will construct a CI / CD pipeline using Docker Cloud. You’ll connect your GitHub account to Docker Cloud, and set up triggers so that when a change is pushed to GitHub, a new version of your Docker container is built.

Discovering and Deploying Certified Content with Docker Store

In this lab you will learn how to locate certified containers and plugins on docker store. You&8217;ll then deploy both a certified Docker image, as well as a certified Docker plugin.

Deploying Applications with Docker EE (Docker DataCenter)

In this lab you will deploy an application that takes advantage of some of the latest features of Docker EE (Docker Datacenter). The tutorial will lead you through building a compose file that can deploy a full application on UCP in one click. Capabilities that you will use in this application deployment include:
&8211; Docker services
&8211; Application scaling and failure mitigation
&8211; Layer 7 load balancing
&8211; Overlay networking
&8211; Application secrets
&8211; Application health checks
&8211; RBAC-based control and visibility with teams

Vulnerability Detection and Remediation with Docker EE (Docker Datacenter)

Application vulnerabilities are a continuous threat and must be continuously managed. In this tutorial we will show you how DTR can detect known vulnerabilities through image security scanning. You will detect a vulnerability in a running app, patch the app, and then apply a rolling update to gradually deploy the update across your cluster without causing any application downtime.
