  3. Introduction to Flocker

  4. Intro/Capabilities/Features • Market-leading solution for container data volume management • Volumes are presented as a mount point to the container and they follow containers as they get scheduled on a cluster. • Integrates northbound with Docker Swarm, Kubernetes & Mesos. • Southbound is agnostic of underlying infrastructure stack and storage platform. • Provides information about volume state and status. • REST API, Command Line and UX interfaces for superior operational visibility.

  5. (NOTE: PASTE IN PHOTO AND SEND BEHIND FOREGROUND GRAPHIC FOR CROP) Use Cases / Integrations • Swisscom, HealthDirect, Packet.net • Database as a Service • In-house stateful apps • Baremetal storage automation • Other • Database Failover. • Fungibility for Jenkins Master. • Alternative to RDS. • Operational flexibility with many Swarm clusters.

  6. Flocker Roadmap • Seamless Data Management. • Across all stages of app lifecycle. • Integrates with development, test, and production pipelines. • Provides access and security for data. • Data management throughout the DevOps lifecycle. • Development • Q/A • Test • Production

  7. Dell SC Flocker Driver

  8. Driver Background • Started discussing solution with ClusterHQ early 2015 • Able to quickly prototype Flocker driver using a lot of our Cinder driver code. • Decided to create native driver rather than using Cinder for customers not using OpenStack. • Useful functional tests included in Flocker help to validate each part of the driver as it was being implemented. • Full development and QA testing complete starting with the 1.7.0 Flocker release.

  9. Dell/ClusterHQ Collaboration • Worked with ClusterHQ and EMC engineers to add new “storage profiles” feature. • Now able to use “gold”, “silver”, and “bronze” storage profiles for Docker volumes that map to SC Storage Profiles for control over storage properties. • Can create user defined Storage Profiles matching the names for specific custom settings.

  10. (NOTE: PASTE IN PHOTO AND SEND BEHIND FOREGROUND GRAPHIC FOR CROP) Flocker Agent Dell SC Driver Flocker Control Dell Storage Manager (Enterprise Manager) Dell SC Array Integration Architecture • Flocker controller issues command to agent. • Agent communicates with Dell SC driver. • Driver uses DSM REST API to service requests. • DSM manages one or more SC arrays.

  11. High Level Overview • User (CLI, orchestration service, etc.) interacts with Docker • Flocker plugin allows seamless integration with Docker • Flocker agent is able to use SC driver to perform requested operations on backend storage
