Same architecture does not fit
in each web services

Solutions
Enroll CF Coach in each web services
around 20 staff / 15 services
Coaches role:
Promote cloud design methods that suit for
each web services

Where we started from

List Necessary Functions

MySQL ● ● ● ●
Oracle ● ● ●
KVS
ObjectStrage ●
C/C++ ●
PHP ● ● ● ●
Node.js ● ● ● ● ●
Java ● ● ●
advertisement ● ● ● ● ●
beacon ● ●

Challenges we encountered
Functions that can’t be used in the cloud because of
complicated dependency
Internal security polices are not suited for cloud
environment
Most of our web services were stateful design
24

How we started
We selected one web service, and started
by preparing the necessary functions for
that service
Resolve issues each time they occur
25

So, which web service
did we start with?

Criteria for the web service
1. Simplicity
• Service with limited functions and external
PF that can be used
2. Actively developed
• Web services that actively developed
so that the effectiveness of introducing CF
can be measured
27

First target : CS tool
• Constructed with few servers in OpenStack environment
• WebServer: apache
• Apache Traffic Server (ATS) : Reverse Proxy
28
 Characteristics
• Language: PHP
• Framework： cakephp
• Uses REST API
• MySQL
 Server Configuration

Partial release using ATS (entry points)
Partially diverted entry point to CF apps using ATS:
• So that CF or OpenStack can be switched in entry points

Lessons learned from the first target
• How to Implement in Production
• Development method based on OSS
• How to make service stateless on CF

Hello CF Summit 2017!
Yusuke Kondo or @konfoo
Responsible to...
• operating Cloud Foundry & Concourse on IaaS
• increasing engineers’ productivity by providing
tools and best practices around CI/CD

Overview of Yahoo! JAPAN proprietary Infrastructure
More than four DCs in Japan
More than 90,000 VM running on OpenStack

dev production
Load Balancer Software Hardware x2
IaaS Openstack Openstack
Hypervisor # 40 40

Current Status (As of Jun. 9, 2017)

dev production
Cluster # 1 1
Cell # per Cluster 40 30
Org # 136 38
App Instance # approx. 2,000 approx. 400
Rps at peak time N/A approx. 2,000

Future Plan (As of Jun. 9, 2017)

Integration with Existent Platforms
• Cookie off-loading Route Service
• On-demand MySQL (OpenStack Trove API)
• Distributed pubsub service (Pulsar)
40

Marketplace Dashboard
41
Goal: Providing all PFs in CF Marketplace

Issues we faced
Platform ACL is based on IP address or hostname
=> Requesting for exceptional permission for
accessing via IP Range with a limited term.
=> Migrating from Host-based ACL to Role-
Based ACL in the long term
42

Integration
with
Logs and Metrics

What we already have
In-house Monitoring & Alerting PF based on
Apache Kafka, Hbase,
Splunk, an enterprise log analytics platform

No action is needed for App developers

What we prepared
Firehose Nozzle and Relay Server
• Nozzle filters and formats the App
logs streamed by Firehose
• Relay Server forwards the log stream
to specific index
46

Issue we faced
High log traffic. 900 lines per sec !
(as of Jun. 8, 2017)
=> Provided users with CF friendly logger
47

Operator-side logs and Metrics
Splunk
• Platform logs such as CF component syslog
Prometheus
• Bosh metrics, VM metrics, Firehose metrics
• Emitting alerts to our smartphone

Scan whole source code

Integration with Concourse
We use Concourse for
• deploying new Cloud Foundry release
• updating buildpacks
• syncing employee accounts with UAA
• backup database to object storage
• ...
53

Lessons learned

We are still on the way to change mind
Changing your organization mind is the most
essential part.
• Educate not only users, but also platform
division where you belong.
• Work closely with your security paranoid
team. Involve them to update the policy
