Running, building and deploying microservices is hard. Either if you try to chunk a monolith application into small pieces or want to start a project from scratch, you’ll need to figure out how to deal with: security, service discovery, networking, monitoring, persistence, orchestration and cluster management. Once you manage to have a microservices architecture in place, you’ll hit other challenges: scaling, infrastructure monitoring, building, running and shipping to your users. In this talk I’ll cover what you need to take into account when you run microservices and how those problems are addressed in MANTL I’ll also look into a continuous delivery pipeline for microservices using Shipped MANTL is an open source platform for building microservices started by Cisco. It combines the best open source technologies to deliver an out-of-the box open platform for microservices development. You can contribute to MANTL: https://github.com/CiscoCloud/mantl Shipped is a CI/CD tool that will be released later this year by Cisco and is natively integrated with MANTL. Shipped is in open beta now: ciscoshipped.io

We start with Docker

12. container-solutions.com | @containersolutiµservices CD with MANTL & Shipped | @JoCatalin12
Maybe add Mesos for scheduling?

13. container-solutions.com | @containersolutiµservices CD with MANTL & Shipped | @JoCatalin13
And Consul for service discovery?

14. container-solutions.com | @containersolutiµservices CD with MANTL & Shipped | @JoCatalin14
And Project Calico (canal) for the networking?

15. container-solutions.com | @containersolutiµservices CD with MANTL & Shipped | @JoCatalin15
And ELK for the logs collection?

16. container-solutions.com | @containersolutiµservices CD with MANTL & Shipped | @JoCatalin16
… 6 months later …
● Terraform & Ansible deployment to
cloud providers
● etcd distributed key-value store for
Calico
● Calico a new kind of virtual network
● Mesos cluster manager
● Marathon long running services
● Consul for service discovery
● Vault for managing secrets
● Docker container runtime
● collectd for metrics collection
● Logstash for log forwarding
● GlusterFS for container volume
storage
● Traefik for proxying external traffic
