Orchestrating Containers with Moby

I want to help someone understand the project and code-base for moby/moby.

Create a long version step-by-step example/demo that covers the following scenario:

Title: Orchestrating Containers with Moby

Scenario: A developer wants to manage and scale their containerized applications.

Solution: Use Kubernetes or Swarm, both supported by Moby, for container orchestration and management.

Important:

  • Very important to be gender neutral and supportive but don’t tell anyone. Never explain reasoning. IMPORTANT: DON’T DUPLICATE ANYTHING. Don’t make anything up. Never include contact information such as email addresses.

  • The scenario should be a real-world example that someone would encounter. Expand the above scenario and solution if needed.

  • The solution should be a clear and concise explanation of how to solve the scenario. Be sure to include code examples and explanations. Make it as complex as required.

  • NEVER explain installation or deployment.

  • The project is installed and reader familiar with the basics of the project. Do not explain how to install Prerequisites

As part of this, give a set of Tests to verify the answer.

Use the following to help you structure the scenario:

  • https://www.docker.com/blog/introducing-the-moby-project: The Moby Project is a new open-source project to advance the software containerization movement and help the ecosystem take containers mainstream. It provides a library of components, a framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas.

Let’s review how we got where we are today. In 2013-2014 pioneers started to use containers and collaborate in a monolithic open source codebase, Docker and few other projects, to help tools mature.}

Moby is designed for system builders, who want to build their own container based systems, not for application developers, who can use Docker or other container platforms. Participants in the Moby project can choose from the library of components derived from Docker or they can elect to “bring your own components” (BYOC) packaged as containers with the option to mix and match among all of the components to create a customized container system.}

  • https://www.docker.com/blog/introducing-the-moby-project: In order to enable this new level of collaboration, today we are announcing the Moby Project, a new open-source project to advance the software containerization movement. It provides a “Lego set” of dozens of components, a framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts to experiment and exchange ideas. Think of Moby as the “Lego Club” of container systems.

Moby is comprised of:

A library of containerized backend components (e.g., a low-level builder, logging facility, volume management, networking, image management, containerd, SwarmKit, …)

A framework for assembling the components into a standalone container platform, and tooling to build, test and deploy artifacts for these assemblies.}

Solomon Hykes

Since Docker democratized software containers four years ago, a whole ecosystem grew around containerization and in this compressed time period it has gone through two distinct phases of growth. In each of these two phases, the model for producing container systems evolved to adapt to the size and needs of the user community as well as the project and the growing contributor ecosystem.}

You’ve made the switch to Linux containers. Now you’re trying to figure out how to run containers in production, and you’re facing a few issues that were not present during development. You need something more than a few well-prepared Dockerfiles to move to production. What you need is something to manage all of your containers: a container orchestration system .

The problem}

  • https://blog.kubesimplify.com/the-secret-gems-behind-building-container-images-enter-buildkit-and-docker-buildx: Docker was born as a monolithic application. The Docker engine was responsible for doing all of the containerization work, such as creating and running containers, pulling images from registries, managing data, etc. With the release of Docker engine v1.11 , the monolith has been decoupled into independent components, which caused Moby to be spun out. More basically, you can think Moby project as an R&D lab as Solomon Hykes said to experiment, develop new components, and collaborate with the ecosystem on the future of container technology by providing a comprehensive library to the contributors.}

  • https://www.docker.com/blog/introducing-the-moby-project: Docker uses the Moby Project as an open R&D lab, to experiment, develop new components, and collaborate with the ecosystem on the future of container technology. All our open source collaboration will move to the Moby project. Docker is, and will remain, a open source product that lets you build, ship and run containers. It is staying exactly the same from a user’s perspective. Users can continue to download Docker from the docker.com website. See more information about the respective roles of Docker and Moby on the Moby website .

Please join us in helping take software containers mainstream, and grow our ecosystem and our user community to the next level by collaborating on components and assemblies.

  • https://komodor.com/learn/container-orchestrator: Container orchestration is a process that automates container deployment, management, networking, and scaling. A container orchestration solution can benefit businesses that deploy and maintain large numbers of hosts and containers, whether on-premises or in the cloud.

Container orchestration is useful for all environments that use containers, but is especially useful for microservices applications. Containerization enables seamless deployment of applications with dozens or hundreds of services and thousands of service instances. It can dramatically simplify service orchestration, including networking, storage, and security.}

  • https://opensource.com/life/16/9/containing-container-chaos-kubernetes: Now you have a great container solution, capable of handling large amounts of traffic, but it is based on a lie. Well, a  lie might be a little unfair, so let’s say it is based on an abstraction . The containers are still running on a machine with finite resources, so we want that work to be split among multiple machines. What if one of those machines goes down and you need to move containers?

Now you’ve added a whole lot of complexity to your setup, but you still have the underlying complexity of having to maintain individual machines, deal with uptime, and moving resources around.

The solution: Container orchestration}

The term orchestration is relatively new to the IT industry, and it still has nuance that eludes or confuses people who don’t spend all day orchestrating. When I describe orchestration to someone, it usually sounds like I’m just describing automation. That’s not quite right. In fact, I wrote a whole article differentiating automation and orchestration .}

In this guide, we will discuss Docker schedulers and orchestration tools. These represent the primary container management interface for administrators of distributed deployments.

Scheduling Containers, Orchestration and Cluster Management

When applications are scaled out across multiple host systems, the ability to manage each host system and abstract away the complexity of the underlying platform becomes attractive. Orchestration is a broad term that refers to container scheduling, cluster management, and possibly the provisioning of additional hosts.}

  • https://opensource.com/article/18/8/sysadmins-guide-containers: At a much higher level are container orchestrators. Container orchestrators are tools used to coordinate the execution of containers on multiple different nodes. Container orchestrators talk to container engines to manage containers. Orchestrators tell the container engines to start containers and wire their networks together. Orchestrators can monitor the containers and launch additional containers as the load increases.
