The document discusses the integration of Docker with FME Server and cloud technologies, highlighting Docker's advantages such as resource efficiency, rapid deployment, and enhanced security. It outlines the future potential of FME Server using Docker for flexible scaling and improved operational capabilities across various systems and cloud environments. The presentation emphasizes Docker's role in transforming software deployment and accelerating FME processing through containerization.

1. Docker, Cloud and the
Elastic Future of FME
Grant Arnold, Don Murray
Safe Software

2. Agenda
Elastic FME Server Demo Launch
What is Docker?
Docker and FME Server
Docker and FME Cloud

3. Elastic FME Server Demo
Launch 1.5 days worth
of FME processing.
Will come back to it
throughout the session.
Launch the
Master
Core
DB
Web
Monitor

4. What is Docker?

5. Docker is better Virtualization!
- More efficient use of compute resources -

6. Docker is better Virtualization!
We can launch first
“Engine” container
in ~ 1 second!
Secondary engines
launch < 1 second.

7. Docker also virtualizes the Network
Docker network access strictly controlled
Increased Security and Isolation!

8. Docker
Benefits of
Portability - Supported by
many linux and cloud providers
Isolation - All libs, resources,
controlled. (cpu, network,..
Security - container access
controlled. Digital signing.

9. Docker
Benefits of
Resources - High resource
density and efficiency
Speed - Start and stop containers
in seconds.
Scaling - Smooth and rapid
scaling up and down

10. How many virtual machines can you run
on a physical machine?
The high end is measured close to 10!

11. How many containers can you run on a
physical machine?
You can run about 20x as many containers!

12. Who is using Docker?

13. Docker will change how we
deploy FME!

14. FME Server in Docker
FME Server runs on any system that supports
Docker.
● Every system we tried it just works!!
FME Server tested in cloud stacks
● Digital Ocean, Google, IBM, etc.
Until recently Docker Containers were Linux only

15. Docker for Mac and FME Server

16. Docker for Mac and FME Server
Demo

17. Docker for Windows and FME Server
www.docker.com/docker-windows

18. Windows Server 2016!
Docker and FME Server
Windows Server 2016
● Native Docker support
● Linux containers
● Windows containers
This is so exciting! A game changer!!

19. FME Server Today
Capacity Defined by Engine Licenses

20. FME Server Future
Burst Licensing to Handle Peaks

21. Demo
Launch 1 day worth of
FME processing.
What is going on?
Let’s check on the

22. Docker and Cloud!

23. New Cloud Deployments

24. FME Cloud Today
Each Cloud instance is a hosted FME Server
Users pay for maximum size needed.

25. FME Cloud Future
Flexible Horizontal Scaling of Engines
Dynamic Engine Assignment

26. Goal = Infinite Compute
Or as we call it “a sea of engines”.

27. FME Server Hybrid Model
Flexible Engine deployment
On Premise

28. Demo
Launch 1 day worth of
FME processing.
What is going on?
Let’s check on the

29. Demo Summary - Docker, FME Server, and AWS
Server Load is Monitored and new AWS Spot Instances/engines launched and
destroyed as needed. (4 engine Max/machine)
Worker Worker Worker
Master

30. Summary
Docker is game changing technology
Docker is changing how we both
build and deploy FME Server.
Docker enables us to ship more
secure software to more platforms
