Jay, "A/B testing" for PROD Infra sounds very cool ;) (we are doing it with business apps all the time, but stuck with canary, incremental rollout or blue-green (if we have enough capacity ;)) deployments for infra), do you mind share details how are you doing it? My concern is that you need at least to change container version and restart container/service, it sounds like typical configuration push.
I agree with Hongbin’s concerns about blindly moving everything in containers. Actually we are moving everything into containers for LAB/DEV environments because it allow us to test/play with different versions/configs, but it’s not the case for PROD because we try to avoid adding extra complexity (e.g. need to monitor Docker daemon itself). And building new image (current process) is pretty trivial these days. Have you tested slave/agent inside container? I was under impression that it doesn’t work until somebody from Kolla team pointed me to the https://hub.docker.com/u/mesoscloud/. Also I belive you can try your approach without any changes at existing template, because it’s just start services and adding configurations. So you can build image which has the same services as Docker containers with volumes mapped to config folders at host. ― Egor From: Jay Lau <jay.lau....@gmail.com<mailto:jay.lau....@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" <openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org>> Date: Thursday, November 26, 2015 at 16:02 To: "OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions)" <openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org<mailto:openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org>> Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [magnum] Using docker container to run COE daemons One of the benefit of running daemons in docker container is that the cluster can upgrade more easily. Take mesos as an example, if I can make mesos running in container, then when update mesos slave with some hot fixes, I can upgrade the mesos slave to a new version in an gray upgrade, i.e. ABtest etc. On Fri, Nov 27, 2015 at 12:01 AM, Hongbin Lu <hongbin...@huawei.com<mailto:hongbin...@huawei.com>> wrote: Jay, Agree and disagree. Containerize some COE daemons will facilitate the version upgrade and maintenance. However, I don’t think it is correct to blindly containerize everything unless there is an investigation performed to understand the benefits and costs of doing that. Quoted from Egor, the common practice in k8s is to containerize everything except kublet, because it seems it is just too hard to containerize everything. In the case of mesos, I am not sure if it is a good idea to move everything to containers, given the fact that it is relatively easy to manage and upgrade debian packages at Ubuntu. However, in the new CoreOS mesos bay [1], meos daemons will run at containers. In summary, I think the correct strategy is to selectively containerize some COE daemons, but we don’t have to containerize *all* COE daemons.

What I want to do is that we can put all COE daemons running in docker containers, because now Kubernetes, Mesos and Swarm support running in docker container and there are already some existing docker images/dockerfiles which we can leverage. So what about update all COE templates to use docker container to run COE daemons and maintain some dockerfiles for different COEs in Magnum? This can reduce the maintain effort for COE as if there are new versions and we want to upgrade, just update the dockerfile is enough.
