  • Roll Call
  • Announcements
  • Review Action Items
    • (none)
  • Introductions (For attendees not present on 2014-05-20)
    • Voluntary introduction from new attendees. Welcome! Describe your interest in containers, and this team. What is your role in hone OpenStack community, and what should we remember about you?
  • Containers in OpenStack -- Stakeholder Interests

    • #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/containers Containers Etherpad
    • Plan is to consolidate this into a wiki for further consideration by our membership
  • Containers Use Cases
    • Examine/enumerate use cases / scenarios for containers which do not require cinder storage, to demonstrate that cinder should be considered optional for Nova driver inclusion (Daniel Berrange / danpb)
    • Example Use Cases:
      • Stateless Apps: Use a container to run the app tier of a 12-factor application.
        • Example: Solum
        • Networked data services provided by trove, or a VM with a block volume attached.
      • Load Balancing: Use a container as a security isolation facility to run a load balancing instance for a tenant.
      • Batch Processing: Use a container to stream input from a remote storage facility, such as swift, and process it, recording summary results in a database.
        • Workers run in containers for system utilization management and security isolation.
      • Time Keeping: Use a container to run an NTP service that is closer to the hardware clock, and less likely to drift compared to running the service in a virtual machine.
      • For clouds offering durable boot volume storage. For clouds that do not treat the boot volume as ephemeral storage, but instead raid protect it, and make guarantees to their users that the data can be treated as recoverable (backup/restore offered, etc.).
  • Open Discussion

Agenda for 2014-06-03 2200 UTC

  • Roll Call
  • Announcements
  • Identify Preferred Implementation Approaches
  • Host Agent Discussion
    • If a host agent is added for use by Nova to interact with guest operating systems (including container instances), what technical considerations should we be aware of?
    • How do we mitigate concerns of the host agent consuming RAM on the guest? Does this matter?
  • Review Action Items
  • Open Discussion
