2.4 - k8s @Digital Ocean - A platform for the future
Ops is Hard
Context
Digital Ocean history
* Early 2013: What ops mean ?
* Late 2013: Embedded operations “Devops” ?
* Early 2014: Centrealized Ops team
* Early 2015: Operations as advisors
* Mid 2015: “You build it, you run it”
Tech changes
* 2013: Monolith
* 2014: Intro to services
* 2015: Service all the things
New tools
Requirements
* Active community
* API Driven
* 1st class for containers support
* Production grade (beeing used by other companies)
Evaluation:
* Nomad
* Swam
* Marathon
* K8s
* …
=> k8s
Refining the solution
Guiding principles
* Curate a simplified User experience
* Make deployments declarative
=> Docc: DigitalOceanCentralController
Manifest:
* Describe app runtime requirements
* Integrate external systems
* Establish ownership
=> Translated into k8s deployment
Why do this ?
* Allows separations of responsabilities
* Promotes decoupling
=> Integration and abstractions
Results
Deployment is no longer the bottleneck
* New apps are deployed in hours
* Existing apps deployed / updated in minutes
=> Developers are much happier
