Unpacking the containerization trend and its great outcomes in your business. Containers are an increasingly popular technology allowing applications to be abstracted from the environment in which they run. Far more than just an incremental improvement over virtualization, containers are a portable, lightweight solution that promises reduced development time, improved service availability, easier monitoring, and simplified deployment. During this discussion, learn more about containers and how best to leverage them for the greatest overall impact on your business.

Monolithic Architecture
● Applications are often born as small monoliths
● Evolve through Incremental growth
● Highly coupled
● Increasing complexity
APP Tier
DB Tier

Monolithic Architecture Over Time
● Gargantuan monsters
● Difficult to deploy
● Small changes → Many impacts
● Error prone / Unpredictable
● Onboarding time stretches
● Eventually impossible to scale
. . . stagnation, fear, paralysis.

Microservices
● An architectural approach to developing a single
application as suite of small services

Microservice Advantages
● Facilitates DevOps
● Rapid Innovation
● Fault Isolation
● Ease of Monitoring
● Allow your teams to scale

How Big Should a “Micro”service be?
● Large number of services > Overhead
● Too few services → Monolithic problems

10. © 2018 Synerzip10
How Big Should a “Micro”service be?
● Rules of Thumb
○ Small enough to have a working MVP build in
two weeks
○ No bigger than can be run by a “two-pizza”
team?
○ Small enough you can onboard a developer in
a 3-weeks or less
○ Not so small that you’re having to change two
services together frequently

Containerization

13. © 2018 Synerzip13
But first a refresher on Virtualization . .
.
● Servers became more and more powerful
● Machines could be emulated on other machines
● Possible to run multiple OSs on a single physical
piece of hardware
● Made the cloud possible

14. © 2018 Synerzip14
Containerization
● Particular type of virtualization (aka OS
virtualization)
● Underlying OS is shared by many containers
● Each container’s resources and “view” is limited
● Libraries, Dependencies, Environment Variables,
etc. are included
● Can work in conjunction with virtualization

Comparison
VMs
● Different OS for each instance
● Spin up in minutes
● Easy moved from one physical
machine to another
● Large custom resource footprint
(potentially need licenses)
Containers
● Shared OS for multiple instances
● Spin up in seconds
● Easily moved from one VM or
physical machine to another
● Small custom resource footprint

How does this differ from just running an application?
Containers limited allocated resources (memory,
compute, storage, access to peripherals, etc.).
From their perspective, these are all the resources that
exist on the current machine and they’re the only
application running.
Furthermore, all dependencies are packaged with the
application. The filesystem is namespaced and “fork on
write” is used for App specific copies of OS files.

Container Orchestration
● Container Engines
● Automated rollout / rollback
● Health monitoring
● Auto-scaling
● Declarative management
● Deploy anywhere (e.g. hybrid environments)

Microservices & Containerization
● Microservices - architectural design pattern
● Containers - deployment technology
Natural, complementary fit . . .
● Smaller / less resource intensive processes
● Enforces loose coupling
● Independent deployability
● Ease of monitoring
