Emerging Storage Trends

for Containers

@openebsDocker Bangalore Meetup #24@kiranmova@CloudByteInc

Happy Docker!Stateless Containers

Ephemeral Storage from local disks.

Rebuilding is Easy

5 million software downloads and 650,000 registered users

Containers in Production!Scale-up

Long-running

Highly Networked Micro-services

Downtime costs money

Rough tides...Sydney storms on Sunday knocked out the operations of numerous Amazon Web Services customers.

The ferocious storms that hit NSW, left AWS clients including Domino's Pizza, Foxtel, The Iconic, Stan and Domain without websites or key systems for hours.

"Containers have moved beyond ephemeral storage to persistent storage to hold data and protect your applications."- 451 Research

Mesosphere Declares ‘Container 2.0,’ the Stateful Era

Kubernetes Version 1.3 include additional resources for supporting stateful containers

Docker Adoption by Storage Vendors

Scott Sinclair, a storage analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, said 2016

has ushered in a "significant adoption cycle" for Docker.

"We are starting to see more and more organizations taking a look at how

they can use containers," he said. "There's tremendous excitement by

vendors, too. It's rare for me to talk with a storage vendor that doesn't

have, or is planning to have, an offering for Docker."

Volumes outlive the containers. They are configured at the pod.

Adoption on the rise.

Slowdown of convoy, flocker, possibly docker

Growth vs Infrastructure30% increase in Docker adoption in one year.

The number of containers running in production quintuples (= 5x) 9 months after initial deployment.

June 2016 https://blog.newrelic.com/2016/06/16/docker-container-infographic/

Containers Demand Robust Infra!

Capacity!

Data Protection

Elastic deployment (scale-out/distributed)

Low latency predictable performance

Faster and simpler provisioning and upgrades

Hybrid Clouds https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/51560a4869bedd425f000003-960-720/pakistani-men-in-islamabad-try-to-right-a-truck-transporting-wheat-straw.jpg
