Collab Summit 2016

Containers represent a portable unit of deployment, and OpenStack has proven an ideal environment for running these workloads. However, where it becomes complex is that many times an application is often built out of multiple containers, as well as hybrid environments - diverse clouds, bare metal & even non-virtualized infrastructure. What’s more, setting up a cluster of container images can be fairly cumbersome as you need to make one container aware of another and expose intimate details that are required for them to communicate which is not trivial especially if they’re not on the same host. These scenarios have instigated the demand for some kind of orchestrator. The list of container orchestrators is growing fairly fast. This session will compare the different orchestation projects out there - from Heat to Kubernetes to Mesos & Cloudify - and help you choose the right tool.
