ING: Revamping Development and Testing Using Docker - Transforming Enterprise IT

Docker doesn't only revolutionize your application hosting, it also revolutionizes your development pipeline. ING has over 250 DevOps teams, thousands of applications and a complex application landscape. ING is simplifying its application landscape in record time while introducing a webscale architecture based on anti-fragility patterns. Speed is vital in this transformation and one of ING’s key assets is it Continuous Delivery Pipeline. In this talk, we will show how ING uses test containers for confidence checks, integration testing on up and downstream services, creating dev/test environments for every feature branch, reverse proxy and CI servers. As a result, we are able to automate test processes and reduce our integration testing costs.

Speakers

The Tale of a Docker-based Continuous Delivery Pipeline

The ModCloth Platform team has been building a Docker-based continuous delivery pipeline. This presentation discusses that project and how we build containers at ModCloth. The topics include what goes into our containers; how to optimize builds to use the Docker build cache effectively; useful development workflows (including using fig); and the key decision to treat containers as processes instead of mini-vms. This presentation will also discuss (and demo!) the workflow we’ve adopted for building containers and how we’ve integrated container builds with our CI.

Continuous Delivery leveraging on Docker CaaS

At Societe Generale GBIS, time to market & quality matters; hence we do love continuous delivery. In this context, we’re considering the Container as a Service pattern: artifacts produced by the continuous integration chain would become self-sufficient “dockerized” application modules, onboarding both code and subsequent system requirements; then, a CaaS cloud would enable to host these containers. In this talk, I’ll present our usecase and current findings, considering both technical & operational aspects. We’ll talk about software factories, immutable IT, registries, containers configuration, API-driven infrastructure, DevOps roles shifts. Finally, we’ll discuss pros/cons of this solution toward regular IaaS and PaaS.

Docker in a big company?

Hey curious friend, let's play a game. How can we bring together two different companies, an established enterprise with traditional dev and ops having cultural differences when working together with a DevOps champion startup. In the middle exists a number of real use cases on how we are bringing DevOps culture with Docker to Atos Worldline.

Migrating a large code-base to containers

Green field projects might be able to take advantage of containers from the start, but how can we take a monolithic existing code-base and make the move to Docker? We want to run our code as a collection of small collaborating containers, but we have a large existing code-base, and don’t want massive disruption to product releases. We’ll take a walk through some of the challenges we’ve faced, and techniques used to solve taking a set of large collaborating Rails applications into containers. In this process we’ve aimed to progressively move towards our ideal.

Enable Fig to deploy to multiple Docker servers

Fig (http://www.fig.sh/) is an Docker-based development environment tool which is owned by Docker. Originally, we can only deploy to one host at one time. My hack in Docker Global Hack Day #2 is to enable Fig to deploy multiple hosts at one time. In this talk, I'll give a brief introduction to Fig first. Then describe my hack in the hack day. Finally I'll give a short demo about deploying apps to multi hosts at one time.

Opinionated containers and the future of game servers

Combining my passions for automation and games, I will discuss the opportunity and challenge for automating and containerizing game servers. The necessity to prioritize scale and performance makes game servers a perfect candidate for the container revolution. However many aspects of game servers and apps make this pretty challenging. Starting from the perspective of a typical transition to in-house Docker based micro services at Shopkeep, I’ll take a deep dive into the problems with, benefits of and approaches to containerizing these “opinionated” applications in a wider setting.

Python, Docker and Radio Astronomy

As a scientific software engineer in the field of radio astronomy, I'm involved in creating, improving and maintaining a broad range of tools used by scientists. These tools are used to process and analyse data coming from various radio telescopes, particularly LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) and SKA (Square Kilometre Array). Radio astronomy has a long and rich computing related history, and with that comes a big pile of poorly written, fragile, and badly maintained legacy code. This problem is not unique to radio astronomy but is a common in various scientific fields.

Although no quick solution exists when it comes to re-writing lots of legacy code, Docker helps to contain this fragile software, simplifies the installation and ensures that the software works. In this talk I will discuss how Papino, our umbrella project for containing various radio astronomy libraries and RODRIGUES, an online radio telescope simulator leverage Docker.

BBC: CI Problems and our Solutions

At BBC News, we've had a lot off issues with using CI environments for building and testing. Recently, we've taken a lot of time in order to solve these issues. We've created a new Jenkins setup to simplify our environment and in build & test our software inside on containers, even if ultimately we're not deploying in a container. This workflow has saved us potentially days of lost developer time.

Scaling Development Environments with Docker

We set out to solve the problems of quickly building high quality games for a fragmented mobile market. Taking advantage of HTML5 allowed a fast, familiar and highly iterative local development process, and a hybrid build process for native apps meant high performance games on mobile. Our product is designed to comprehensively handle complex UI flows, related server tasks as well as deep integrations with any social platform. This is necessarily complex piece of engineering, with dozens of large dependencies, and 5 local web servers powering a single user’s experience. When we set out to make this easily available to 3rd parties, we used Docker to solve to major challenges: 1) Fitting many users, each with a unique development environment, on to one machine; 2) Managing all of these development environments in a scalable way.
