Containerize everything: Stateful apps on Kubernetes

In this 35 minute talk recorded at TechSummit.io Amsterdam you will learn about deploying stateful apps in Docker containers on Kubernetes. First I will describe how app owners build their stateful apps using StatefulSets and PersistentVolumeClaims, and how these are underpinned by infrastructure resources like PersistentVolumes and StorageClasses. If your stateful app is a single instance database these basics might be enough, but with a scale-out database a bit of application specific glue is needed to manage this scaling gracefully. A few design patterns are emerging to provide this glue and I will touch on a few of them.

Included are two demos with persistent storage dynamically provisioned by NetApp Trident with Kubernetes v1.6.4:

  • Single instance WordPress + MySQL
  • Scale-out with MongoDB

I hope you like it!
