Time Warner Cable (TWC) is one of the early adopters of OpenStack. Spurred by the automation and self-service capabilities achieved through our OpenStack journey, we were ready to take on our next ambitious project – deploying container based microservices applications on top of OpenStack. We chose Mesos / Marathon as our application and container run-time platform on OpenStack IaaS. This is a tight collaboration between the OpenStack team at TWC and the new Application Services group.
In this session, we will discuss our experiences with the technology, tools, and techniques that made this possible at TWC. We will make this an interactive session to learn from our collective experiences.
This session will share our experiences and how we thought through our needs for the project. Attendees will learn the considerations for deploying, monitoring, and running critical apps in production on large clusters. Specifically, we will discuss the questions below that all organizations deploying microservices applications need to address.
- How do we perform service discovery in this environment?
- How do we monitor and troubleshoot? E.g. which of the several microservices that make up the application is at fault?
- What can we do to understand the traffic patterns between different services?
- How do we isolate apps or enforce security policies for the interactions between microservices?
- When and how do we autoscale our services?
