A Guide To Cloudify Docker Container Support

Overview

Cloudify supports integrations with Docker and Docker-based container managers, including Docker, Docker Swarm, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and Apache Mesos. At a minimum, Cloudify supports the creation, scaling, and healing of the platforms themselves. For Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, service orchestration is also supported. When orchestrating other orchestrators (e.g. Kubernetes, Swarm, Mesos), the Cloudify philosophy is to lightly integrate so that native descriptors can be used if desired. Options are also provided to use TOSCA based configuration for services, but support is more limited than native descriptors.

Docker Plugin

The Docker plugin is a Cloudify plugin that defines a single type: cloudify.docker.Container. The plugin is compatible with Docker 1.0 (API version 1.12). The plugin executes on a computer host that has Docker pre-installed.

Types

cloudify.docker.Container

Properties:
  • image A dict describing a docker image. To import an image from a tarball use the src key. The value will be an absolute path or URL. If pulling an image from docker hub, do not use src. The key is repository. The value is that repository name. You may additionally specify the tag, if none is given, latest is assumed.

Docker Swarm Blueprint

The Docker Swarm blueprint creates and manages a Docker Swarm cluster on Openstack.

Docker Swarm Plugin

The Docker Swarm Plugin provides support for deploying services onto Docker Swarm clusters, as well as support for Docker Compose.

Kubernetes Blueprint

Kubernetes Plugin

The Kubernetes Plugin provides support for deploying services on Kubernetes clusters.

Kubernetes Blueprint

The Kubernetes Blueprint creates and manages a Kubernetes cluster on Openstack and Amazon EC2.

Mesos Blueprint

The Mesos creates and manages Mesos clusters on Openstack.
