MONOLITHIC APPLICATIONS

Companies have many ways to package and run their workloads in the cloud

Their goal: pick the right runtime for each workload

Kubo allows us to up-level from pure IaaS

So, let’s talk about workloads…

What workloads are you currently running on IaaS?

Minimal Disruption to Current Processes Creates “low-hanging” fruit Done Infrequently Approval heavy processes okay

Health Management, Logging, Scaling From Kubernetes Multi-cloud Via Goodness!!Kernel and Kubernetes Upgrades How do you roll out new versions of the platform with the lights on?

Consolidation More fully utilize your VMs and Servers

More goodness!!

BUT...

Can I really roll the kernel or K8s version without involving the app team?

While the app may be changing infrequently, the kernel or Kubernetes version is likely to cycle more frequently.

Maybe…

You don’t have to refactor your app, or retool your whole process, but a test suite is a significant enabler!

What enables this is the existence of a rich test suite!

Well… … it’s up to you

More goodness!!

But you’re changing a lot in your process and tooling

Anticipate Change! • Support nodes having new IP addresses on recreate • Availability zone aware • Flexible cluster topologies (i.e. dynamically scale)

• Need persistence • No shared storage

Why are we running these workloads on Kubo?

Already Containerized ISVs are increasingly distributing their software in containers

And, all of this

Why??

Arguably, WLS itself gives you some of these values - but only some.

And possibly even licensing compression!


Leverages Stateful Sets

StatefulSets are valuable for applications that require one or more of the following. • Stable, unique network identifiers.

• Stable, persistent storage.

• Ordered, graceful deployment and scaling.

• Ordered, graceful deletion and termination.

• Ordered, automated rolling updates.
