A poc I am working on involving orchestration of docker containers.
After having read many sources on the docker dynamics, I have come to a good understanding of the pro's and con's in real world scenario's.
Really working with the software, and configuring a LOT, made me understand the need for automation of the new work at hand: configuration and deployment management...interesting.
I have found my main inspiration here:
- http://txt.fliglio.com/2013/12/service-discovery-with-docker-docker-links-and-beyond/
- https://github.com/FrozenRidge/dockerfu
- offer one service per container
- allow ssh access for maintenance and inspection
- implement basic household tasks: forward metrics and logs
- supervisord
- implement hipache
- implement something like dockerfu's mhipache mapping
- implement service discovery (etcd?)
- implement health checking and reloading (like etcdbridge)
