The differences between Docker, containerd, CRI-O and runc - Tutorial Works - 0 views

  • Docker isn’t the only container contender on the block.
  • Container Runtime Interface (CRI), which defines an API between Kubernetes and the container runtime
  • Open Container Initiative (OCI) which publishes specifications for images and containers.
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • for a lot of people, the name “Docker” itself is synonymous with the word “container”.
  • Docker created a very ergonomic (nice-to-use) tool for working with containers – also called docker.
  • docker is designed to be installed on a workstation or server and comes with a bunch of tools to make it easy to build and run containers as a developer, or DevOps person.
  • containerd: This is a daemon process that manages and runs containers.
  • runc: This is the low-level container runtime (the thing that actually creates and runs containers).
  • libcontainer, a native Go-based implementation for creating containers.
  • Kubernetes includes a component called dockershim, which allows it to support Docker.
  • Kubernetes prefers to run containers through any container runtime which supports its Container Runtime Interface (CRI).
  • Kubernetes will remove support for Docker directly, and prefer to use only container runtimes that implement its Container Runtime Interface.
  • Both containerd and CRI-O can run Docker-formatted (actually OCI-formatted) images, they just do it without having to use the docker command or the Docker daemon.
  • Docker images, are actually images packaged in the Open Container Initiative (OCI) format.
  • CRI is the API that Kubernetes uses to control the different runtimes that create and manage containers.
  • CRI makes it easier for Kubernetes to use different container runtimes
  • containerd is a high-level container runtime that came from Docker, and implements the CRI spec
  • containerd was separated out of the Docker project, to make Docker more modular.
  • CRI-O is another high-level container runtime which implements the Container Runtime Interface (CRI).
  • The idea behind the OCI is that you can choose between different runtimes which conform to the spec.
  • runc is an OCI-compatible container runtime.
  • A reference implementation is a piece of software that has implemented all the requirements of a specification or standard.
  • runc provides all of the low-level functionality for containers, interacting with existing low-level Linux features, like namespaces and control groups.

Keepalived for Linux - 0 views

  •  
    Keepalived is a routing software written in C. The main goal of this project is to provide simple and robust facilities for loadbalancing and high-availability to Linux system and Linux based infrastructures. Loadbalancing framework relies on well-known and widely used Linux Virtual Server (IPVS) kernel module providing Layer4 loadbalancing. Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage loadbalanced server pool according their health. On the other hand high-availability is achieved by VRRP protocol. VRRP is a fundamental brick for router failover. In addition, Keepalived implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing low-level and high-speed protocol interactions. Keepalived frameworks can be used independently or all together to provide resilient infrastructures.

Serverless Architectures - 0 views

  • Serverless was first used to describe applications that significantly or fully depend on 3rd party applications / services (‘in the cloud’) to manage server-side logic and state.
  • ‘rich client’ applications (think single page web apps, or mobile apps) that use the vast ecosystem of cloud accessible databases (like Parse, Firebase), authentication services (Auth0, AWS Cognito), etc.
  • ‘(Mobile) Backend as a Service’
  • ...33 more annotations...
  • Serverless can also mean applications where some amount of server-side logic is still written by the application developer but unlike traditional architectures is run in stateless compute containers that are event-triggered, ephemeral (may only last for one invocation), and fully managed by a 3rd party.
  • ‘Functions as a service
  • AWS Lambda is one of the most popular implementations of FaaS at present,
  • A good example is Auth0 - they started initially with BaaS ‘Authentication as a Service’, but with Auth0 Webtask they are entering the FaaS space.
  • a typical ecommerce app
  • a backend data-processing service
  • with zero administration.
  • FaaS offerings do not require coding to a specific framework or library.
  • Horizontal scaling is completely automatic, elastic, and managed by the provider
  • Functions in FaaS are triggered by event types defined by the provider.
  • a FaaS-supported message broker
  • from a deployment-unit point of view FaaS functions are stateless.
  • allowed the client direct access to a subset of our database
  • deleted the authentication logic in the original application and have replaced it with a third party BaaS service
  • The client is in fact well on its way to becoming a Single Page Application.
  • implement a FaaS function that responds to http requests via an API Gateway
  • port the search code from the Pet Store server to the Pet Store Search function
  • replaced a long lived consumer application with a FaaS function that runs within the event driven context
  • server applications - is a key difference when comparing with other modern architectural trends like containers and PaaS
  • the only code that needs to change when moving to FaaS is the ‘main method / startup’ code, in that it is deleted, and likely the specific code that is the top-level message handler (the ‘message listener interface’ implementation), but this might only be a change in method signature
  • With FaaS you need to write the function ahead of time to assume parallelism
  • Most providers also allow functions to be triggered as a response to inbound http requests, typically in some kind of API gateway
  • you should assume that for any given invocation of a function none of the in-process or host state that you create will be available to any subsequent invocation.
  • FaaS functions are either naturally stateless
  • store state across requests or for further input to handle a request.
  • certain classes of long lived task are not suited to FaaS functions without re-architecture
  • if you were writing a low-latency trading application you probably wouldn’t want to use FaaS systems at this time
  • An API Gateway is an HTTP server where routes / endpoints are defined in configuration and each route is associated with a FaaS function.
  • API Gateway will allow mapping from http request parameters to inputs arguments for the FaaS function
  • API Gateways may also perform authentication, input validation, response code mapping, etc.
  • the Serverless Framework makes working with API Gateway + Lambda significantly easier than using the first principles provided by AWS.
  • Apex - a project to ‘Build, deploy, and manage AWS Lambda functions with ease.'
  • 'Serverless' to mean the union of a couple of other ideas - 'Backend as a Service' and 'Functions as a Service'.

mqtt - 0 views

  • MQTT is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol. It is useful for use with low power sensors
  • The MQTT protocol is based on the principle of publishing messages and subscribing to topics, or "pub/sub".
  • Multiple clients connect to a broker and subscribe to topics that they are interested in
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Many clients may subscribe to the same topics
  • The broker and MQTT act as a simple, common interface for everything to connect to
  • Messages in MQTT are published on topics
  • no need to configure a topic, publishing on it is enough
  • Topics are treated as a hierarchy, using a slash (/) as a separator.
  • Clients can receive messages by creating subscriptions
  • A subscription may be to an explicit topic
  • Two wildcards are available, + or #.
  • # can be used as a wildcard for all remaining levels of hierarchy
  • + can be used as a wildcard for a single level of hierarchy
  • Zero length topic levels are valid, which can lead to some slightly non-obvious behaviour.
  • The QoS defines how hard the broker/client will try to ensure that a message is received.
  • Messages may be sent at any QoS level, and clients may attempt to subscribe to topics at any QoS level
  • the client chooses the maximum QoS it will receive
  • if a client is subscribed with QoS 2 and a message is published on QoS 0, the client will receive it on QoS 0.
  • 1: The broker/client will deliver the message at least once, with confirmation required.
  • All messages may be set to be retained.
  • the broker will keep the message even after sending it to all current subscribers
  • useful as a "last known good" mechanism
  • If clean session is set to false, then the connection is treated as durable
  • when the client disconnects, any subscriptions it has will remain and any subsequent QoS 1 or 2 messages will be stored until it connects again in the future
  • If clean session is true, then all subscriptions will be removed for the client when it disconnects

Choosing an Executor Type - CircleCI - 0 views

  • Containers are an instance of the Docker Image you specify and the first image listed in your configuration is the primary container image in which all steps run.
  • In this example, all steps run in the container created by the first image listed under the build job
  • If you experience increases in your run times due to installing additional tools during execution, it is best practice to use the Building Custom Docker Images Documentation to create a custom image with tools that are pre-loaded in the container to meet the job requirements.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • The machine option runs your jobs in a dedicated, ephemeral VM
  • Using the machine executor gives your application full access to OS resources and provides you with full control over the job environment.
  • Using machine may require additional fees in a future pricing update.
  • Using the macos executor allows you to run your job in a macOS environment on a VM.
  • In a multi-image configuration job, all steps are executed in the container created by the first image listed.
  • All containers run in a common network and every exposed port will be available on localhost from a primary container.
  • If you want to work with private images/registries, please refer to Using Private Images.
  • Docker also has built-in image caching and enables you to build, run, and publish Docker images via Remote Docker.
  • if you require low-level access to the network or need to mount external volumes consider using machine

Setup ProxySQL for High Availability (not a Single Point of Failure) - Percona Database... - 0 views

  • ProxySQL doesn’t natively support any high availability solution
  • most common solution is setting up ProxySQL as part of a tile architecture, where Application/ProxySQL are deployed together.

      直接把 ProxySQL 跟 App 捆綁發佈
  • If we have 400 instances of ProxySQL, we end up keeping our databases busy just performing the checks.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Another possible approach is to have two layers of ProxySQL, one close to the application and another in the middle to connect to the database.
  • creates additional complexity in the management of the platform, and it adds network hops.
  • combining existing solutions and existing blocks: KeepAlived + ProxySQl + MySQL.
  • Keepalived implements a set of checkers to dynamically and adaptively maintain and manage load-balanced server pool according to their health.
  • Keepalived implements a set of hooks to the VRRP finite state machine providing low-level and high-speed protocol interactions.

Docker for AWS persistent data volumes | Docker Documentation - 0 views

  • Cloudstor is a modern volume plugin built by Docker
  • Docker swarm mode tasks and regular Docker containers can use a volume created with Cloudstor to mount a persistent data volume.
  • Global shared Cloudstor volumes mounted by all tasks in a swarm service.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Workloads running in a Docker service that require access to low latency/high IOPs persistent storage, such as a database engine, can use a relocatable Cloudstor volume backed by EBS.
  • Each relocatable Cloudstor volume is backed by a single EBS volume.
  • If a swarm task using a relocatable Cloudstor volume gets rescheduled to another node within the same availability zone as the original node where the task was running, Cloudstor detaches the backing EBS volume from the original node and attaches it to the new target node automatically.
  • in a different availability zone,
  • Cloudstor transfers the contents of the backing EBS volume to the destination availability zone using a snapshot, and cleans up the EBS volume in the original availability zone.
  • Typically the snapshot-based transfer process across availability zones takes between 2 and 5 minutes unless the work load is write-heavy.
  • A swarm task is not started until the volume it mounts becomes available
  • Sharing/mounting the same Cloudstor volume backed by EBS among multiple tasks is not a supported scenario and leads to data loss.
  • a Cloudstor volume to share data between tasks, choose the appropriate EFS backed shared volume option.
  • When multiple swarm service tasks need to share data in a persistent storage volume, you can use a shared Cloudstor volume backed by EFS.
  • a volume and its contents can be mounted by multiple swarm service tasks without the risk of data loss
  • over NFS
  • the persistent data backed by EFS volumes is always available.
  • shared Cloudstor volumes only work in those AWS regions where EFS is supported.

MongoDB Performance Tuning: Everything You Need to Know - Stackify - 0 views

  • db.serverStatus().globalLock
  • db.serverStatus().locks
  • globalLock.currentQueue.total: This number can indicate a possible concurrency issue if it’s consistently high. This can happen if a lot of requests are waiting for a lock to be released.
  • ...35 more annotations...
  • globalLock.totalTime: If this is higher than the total database uptime, the database has been in a lock state for too long.
  • Unlike relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, MongoDB uses JSON-like documents for storing data.
  • Databases operate in an environment that consists of numerous reads, writes, and updates.
  • When a lock occurs, no other operation can read or modify the data until the operation that initiated the lock is finished.
  • locks.deadlockCount: Number of times the lock acquisitions have encountered deadlocks
  • Is the database frequently locking from queries? This might indicate issues with the schema design, query structure, or system architecture.
  • For version 3.2 on, WiredTiger is the default.
  • MMAPv1 locks whole collections, not individual documents.
  • WiredTiger performs locking at the document level.
  • When the MMAPv1 storage engine is in use, MongoDB will use memory-mapped files to store data.
  • All available memory will be allocated for this usage if the data set is large enough.
  • db.serverStatus().mem
  • mem.resident: Roughly equivalent to the amount of RAM in megabytes that the database process uses
  • If mem.resident exceeds the value of system memory and there’s a large amount of unmapped data on disk, we’ve most likely exceeded system capacity.
  • If the value of mem.mapped is greater than the amount of system memory, some operations will experience page faults.
  • The WiredTiger storage engine is a significant improvement over MMAPv1 in performance and concurrency.
  • By default, MongoDB will reserve 50 percent of the available memory for the WiredTiger data cache.
  • wiredTiger.cache.bytes currently in the cache – This is the size of the data currently in the cache.
  • wiredTiger.cache.tracked dirty bytes in the cache – This is the size of the dirty data in the cache.
  • we can look at the wiredTiger.cache.bytes read into cache value for read-heavy applications. If this value is consistently high, increasing the cache size may improve overall read performance.
  • check whether the application is read-heavy. If it is, increase the size of the replica set and distribute the read operations to secondary members of the set.
  • write-heavy, use sharding within a sharded cluster to distribute the load.
  • Replication is the propagation of data from one node to another
  • Replication sets handle this replication.
  • Sometimes, data isn’t replicated as quickly as we’d like.
  • a particularly thorny problem if the lag between a primary and secondary node is high and the secondary becomes the primary
  • use the db.printSlaveReplicationInfo() or the rs.printSlaveReplicationInfo() command to see the status of a replica set from the perspective of the secondary member of the set.
  • shows how far behind the secondary members are from the primary. This number should be as low as possible.
  • monitor this metric closely.
  • watch for any spikes in replication delay.
  • Always investigate these issues to understand the reasons for the lag.
  • One replica set is primary. All others are secondary.
  • it’s not normal for nodes to change back and forth between primary and secondary.
  • use the profiler to gain a deeper understanding of the database’s behavior.
  • Enabling the profiler can affect system performance, due to the additional activity.

Think Before you NodePort in Kubernetes - Oteemo - 0 views

  • Two options are provided for Services intended for external use: a NodePort, or a LoadBalancer
  • no built-in cloud load balancers for Kubernetes in bare-metal environments
  • NodePort may not be your best choice.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • NodePort, by design, bypasses almost all network security in Kubernetes.
  • NetworkPolicy resources can currently only control NodePorts by allowing or disallowing all traffic on them.
  • put a network filter in front of all the nodes
  • if a Nodeport-ranged Service is advertised to the public, it may serve as an invitation to black-hats to scan and probe
  • When Kubernetes creates a NodePort service, it allocates a port from a range specified in the flags that define your Kubernetes cluster. (By default, these are ports ranging from 30000-32767.)
  • By design, Kubernetes NodePort cannot expose standard low-numbered ports like 80 and 443, or even 8080 and 8443.
  • A port in the NodePort range can be specified manually, but this would mean the creation of a list of non-standard ports, cross-referenced with the applications they map to
  • if you want the exposed application to be highly available, everything contacting the application has to know all of your node addresses, or at least more than one.
  • non-standard ports.
  • Ingress resources use an Ingress controller (the nginx one is common but not by any means the only choice) and an external load balancer or public IP to enable path-based routing of external requests to internal Services.
  • With a single point of entry to expose and secure
  • get simpler TLS management!
  • consider putting a real load balancer in front of your NodePort Services before opening them up to the world
  • Google very recently released an alpha-stage bare-metal load balancer that, once installed in your cluster, will load-balance using BGP
  • NodePort Services are easy to create but hard to secure, hard to manage, and not especially friendly to others

MySQL cluster vs Galera - How to make the right choice - 0 views

  • there is no “one size fits all” solution when coming to database clustering.
  • MySQL cluster contains the data nodes that store the cluster data and management node that store the cluster’s configuration.
  • MySQL clients first communicate with the management node and then connect directly to these data nodes.
  • ...13 more annotations...
