Redis Labs Session

1. Redis Enterprise on
Cloud Native Platforms
Vick Kelkar and Uri Shachar

2. Agenda
• Introduction to Cloud-Native Platforms
• Introduction to Redis Enterprise
• Kubernetes Release Demo
• Q & A

3. Introduction to Cloud-Native Platforms (PaaS)
• Cloud Models: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS
• Why PaaS?
• Provide a higher level of abstraction
• Application developer can focus on application development
• Encourage micro services deployments
• Containers are now basic unit of deployment

4. Why you need Orchestration!
• Containerized workloads demand choreography
• Microservices adoption increases operational overhead
• with dozens of discrete components
• Orchestration Platforms
• Cloud Foundry - Build and Run containerized cloud-native applications
• Kubernetes – Run containerized cloud-native applications

5. Introduction to Cloud Foundry
• Application PaaS
• You provide
• Application code
• Platform provides
• Application runtime – Buildpacks
• Containerize & schedule your application – Diego
• Networking & Routing – GoRouters
• Logging – Loggregator system
• IaaS Orchestrator – BOSH
• Open Service Broker – OSB-API
• Use-Case
• Micro service applications
• runC compatible containers
• 12 factor applications

6. Introduction to Kubernetes
• Why Kubernetes?
• Orchestration of containers – Containers as a Service (CaaS)
• Application Life Cycle management
• It provides basic health checks for containers
• Does rolling updates
• Has a very declarative definition
• Provides Service discovery
• Use-Case
• Greater flexibility & customization of containerized applications

7. Introduction to Redis Enterprise
Open source. The leading in-memory database platform,
supporting any high performance operational, analytics or
hybrid use case.
The open source home and commercial provider of Redis
Enterprise (Redise) technology, platform, products & services.

10. Redis Enterprise on Cloud Foundry
• Design Goals
• Shared Multi-tenant cluster
• Orchestrated by BOSH
• Leverage TCP routing
• Multi foundation database replication
• (CRDTs)
• Deployment models
• PCF integrated Tile
• PCF Service-Broker Tile

11. Redis Enterprise on Kubernetes
• Design goals
• Built for Container Era
• Auto bootstrapping of cluster
• Leverage Persistence
• Architecture

12. Cluster of Clusters: Deep-Dive
• Cluster within a Cluster
• Kubernetes cluster
• Nodes, Pods
• Custom K8s Controller
• K8s scheduler
• K8s auto-healing
• Redis Enterprise Cluster
• CNM – Cluster Node Manager - runs on each node
• DMC Proxy – Smart Proxy – Provides extended Redis functions (Sharding, Clustering)
• Cluster Watchdog – Determines the current Redis Master Node
• Node Watchdog – Initiate Redis/listener failover as required.
• CCS – Cluster Configuration Store – Contains configuration for entire cluster (on each
node)

13. Why Orchestrator2
• K8s Controller and Operator
• Leverage K8s primitives and guarantees
• Use Redis Enterprise Orchestrator
• DMC Proxy – fast & transparent proxy
• Redis Enterprise scheduler to schedule shards to specific cluster nodes
• Use various deployment models – Symmetric nodes
• VPC
• Cloud
• Software

14. Live Demo?!

15. Demo – Recap
• Show deployed Pods, Service, Deployment, StatefulSet
• Show database creation
• Show service discovery
• Show benchmark tool deployment
• Delete Redis Enterprise database and service endpoint

16. Key Takeaways
