Scaling Stateful Applications using Kubernetes Pet Sets and FlexVolumes with Datera Elastic Data Fabric

Editor’s note: today’s guest post is by Shailesh Mittal, Software Architect and Ashok Rajagopalan, Sr Director Product at Datera Inc, talking about Stateful Application provisioning with Kubernetes on Datera Elastic Data Fabric. IntroductionPersistent volumes in Kubernetes are foundational as customers move beyond stateless workloads to run stateful applications. While Kubernetes has supported stateful applications such as MySQL, Kafka, Cassandra, and Couchbase for a while, the introduction of Pet Sets has significantly improved this support. In particular, the procedure to sequence the provisioning and startup, the ability to scale and associate durably by Pet Sets has provided the ability to automate to scale the “Pets” (applications that require consistent handling and durable placement). Datera, elastic block storage for cloud deployments, has seamlessly integrated with Kubernetes through the FlexVolume framework. Based on the first principles of containers, Datera allows application resource provisioning to be decoupled from the underlying physical infrastructure. This brings clean contracts (aka, no dependency or direct knowledge of the underlying physical infrastructure), declarative formats, and eventually portability to stateful applications.While Kubernetes allows for great flexibility to define the underlying application infrastructure through yaml configurations, Datera allows for that configuration to be passed to the storage infrastructure to provide persistence. Through the notion of Datera AppTemplates, in a Kubernetes environment, stateful applications can be automated to scale. Deploying Persistent StoragePersistent storage is defined using the Kubernetes PersistentVolume subsystem. PersistentVolumes are volume plugins and define volumes that live independently of the lifecycle of the pod that is using it. They are implemented as NFS, iSCSI, or by cloud provider specific storage system. Datera has developed a volume plugin for PersistentVolumes that can provision iSCSI block storage on the Datera Data Fabric for Kubernetes pods.The Datera volume plugin gets invoked by kubelets on minion nodes and relays the calls to the Datera Data Fabric over its REST API. Below is a sample deployment of a PersistentVolume with the Datera plugin: apiVersion: v1 kind: PersistentVolume metadata: name: pv-datera-0 spec: capacity: storage: 100Gi accessModes: – ReadWriteOnce persistentVolumeReclaimPolicy: Retain flexVolume: driver: “datera/iscsi” fsType: “xfs” options: volumeID: “kube-pv-datera-0″ size: “100″ replica: “3” backstoreServer: “tlx170.tlx.daterainc.com:7717”This manifest defines a PersistentVolume of 100 GB to be provisioned in the Datera Data Fabric, should a pod request the persistent storage.[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get pvNAME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES STATUS CLAIM REASON AGEpv-datera-0 100Gi RWO Available 8spv-datera-1 100Gi RWO Available 2spv-datera-2 100Gi RWO Available 7spv-datera-3 100Gi RWO Available 4sConfigurationThe Datera PersistenceVolume plugin is installed on all minion nodes. When a pod lands on a minion node with a valid claim bound to the persistent storage provisioned earlier, the Datera plugin forwards the request to create the volume on the Datera Data Fabric. All the options that are specified in the PersistentVolume manifest are sent to the plugin upon the provisioning request.Once a volume is provisioned in the Datera Data Fabric, volumes are presented as an iSCSI block device to the minion node, and kubelet mounts this device for the containers (in the pod) to access it.Using Persistent StorageKubernetes PersistentVolumes are used along with a pod using PersistentVolume Claims. Once a claim is defined, it is bound to a PersistentVolume matching the claim’s specification. A typical claim for the PersistentVolume defined above would look like below:kind: PersistentVolumeClaimapiVersion: v1metadata: name: pv-claim-test-petset-0spec: accessModes: – ReadWriteOnce resources: requests: storage: 100GiWhen this claim is defined and it is bound to a PersistentVolume, resources can be used with the pod specification:[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get pvNAME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES STATUS CLAIM REASON AGEpv-datera-0 100Gi RWO Bound default/pv-claim-test-petset-0 6mpv-datera-1 100Gi RWO Bound default/pv-claim-test-petset-1 6mpv-datera-2 100Gi RWO Available 7spv-datera-3 100Gi RWO Available 4s[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get pvcNAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES AGEpv-claim-test-petset-0 Bound pv-datera-0 0 3mpv-claim-test-petset-1 Bound pv-datera-1 0 3mA pod can use a PersistentVolume Claim like below:apiVersion: v1kind: Podmetadata: name: kube-pv-demospec: containers: – name: data-pv-demo image: nginx volumeMounts: – name: test-kube-pv1 mountPath: /data ports: – containerPort: 80 volumes: – name: test-kube-pv1 persistentVolumeClaim: claimName: pv-claim-test-petset-0The result is a pod using a PersistentVolume Claim as a volume.

In contrast, a PetSet is a group of stateful pods that has a stronger notion of identity. The goal of a PetSet is to decouple this dependency by assigning identities to individual instances of an application that are not anchored to the underlying physical infrastructure.A PetSet requires {0..n-1} Pets. Each Pet has a deterministic name, PetSetName-Ordinal, and a unique identity. Each Pet has at most one pod, and each PetSet has at most one Pet with a given identity. A PetSet ensures that a specified number of “pets” with unique identities are running at any given time. The identity of a Pet is comprised of:a stable hostname, available in DNSan ordinal indexstable storage: linked to the ordinal & hostnameA typical PetSet definition using a PersistentVolume Claim looks like below:# A headless service to create DNS recordsapiVersion: v1kind: Servicemetadata: name: test-service labels: app: nginxspec: ports: – port: 80 name: web clusterIP: None selector: app: nginx—apiVersion: apps/v1alpha1kind: PetSetmetadata: name: test-petsetspec: serviceName: “test-service” replicas: 2 template: metadata: labels: app: nginx annotations: pod.alpha.kubernetes.io/initialized: “true” spec: terminationGracePeriodSeconds: 0 containers: – name: nginx image: gcr.io/google_containers/nginx-slim:0.8 ports: – containerPort: 80 name: web volumeMounts: – name: pv-claim mountPath: /data volumeClaimTemplates: – metadata: name: pv-claim annotations: volume.alpha.kubernetes.io/storage-class: anything spec: accessModes: [ “ReadWriteOnce” ] resources: requests: storage: 100GiWe have the following PersistentVolume Claims available:[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get pvcNAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESSMODES AGEpv-claim-test-petset-0 Bound pv-datera-0 0 41mpv-claim-test-petset-1 Bound pv-datera-1 0 41mpv-claim-test-petset-2 Bound pv-datera-2 0 5spv-claim-test-petset-3 Bound pv-datera-3 0 2sWhen this PetSet is provisioned, two pods get instantiated:[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get podsNAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGEdefault test-petset-0 1/1 Running 0 7sdefault test-petset-1 1/1 Running 0 3sHere is how the PetSet test-petset instantiated earlier looks like:[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl describe petset test-petsetName: test-petsetNamespace: defaultImage(s): gcr.io/google_containers/nginx-slim:0.8Selector: app=nginxLabels: app=nginxReplicas: 2 current / 2 desiredAnnotations: <none>CreationTimestamp: Sun, 14 Aug 2016 19:46:30 -0700Pods Status: 2 Running / 0 Waiting / 0 Succeeded / 0 FailedNo volumes.No events.Once a PetSet is instantiated, such as test-petset below, upon increasing the number of replicas (i.e. the number of pods started with that PetSet), more pods get instantiated and more PersistentVolume Claims get bound to new pods:[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl patch petset test-petset -p'{“spec”:{“replicas”:”3″}}'”test-petset” patched[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl describe petset test-petsetName: test-petsetNamespace: defaultImage(s): gcr.io/google_containers/nginx-slim:0.8Selector: app=nginxLabels: app=nginxReplicas: 3 current / 3 desiredAnnotations: <none>CreationTimestamp: Sun, 14 Aug 2016 19:46:30 -0700Pods Status: 3 Running / 0 Waiting / 0 Succeeded / 0 FailedNo volumes.No events.[root@tlx241 /]# kubectl get podsNAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGEtest-petset-0 1/1 Running 0 29mtest-petset-1 1/1 Running 0 28mtest-petset-2 1/1 Running 0 9sNow the PetSet is running 3 pods after patch application.When the above PetSet definition is patched to have one more replica, it introduces one more pod in the system. This in turn results in one more volume getting provisioned on the Datera Data Fabric. So volumes get dynamically provisioned and attached to a pod upon the PetSet scaling up.To support the notion of durability and consistency, if a pod moves from one minion to another, volumes do get attached (mounted) to the new minion node and detached (unmounted) from the old minion to maintain persistent access to the data.ConclusionThis demonstrates Kubernetes with Pet Sets orchestrating stateful and stateless workloads. While the Kubernetes community is working on expanding the FlexVolume framework’s capabilities, we are excited that this solution makes it possible for Kubernetes to be run more widely in the datacenters.

Docker Online Meetup #41: Deep Dive into Docker 1.12 Networking

For this week’s #Docker Online Meetup, Sr. Director, Networking at Docker, Madhu Venugopal, joined us to talk about Docker 1.12 Networking and answer questions.
Starting with Docker 1.12, Docker has added features to the core Docker Engine to make multi-host and multi-container orchestration simple to use and accessible to everyone. Docker 1.12 Networking plays a key role in enabling these orchestration features.
In this online meetup, we learned all the new and exciting networking features introduced in Docker 1.12:

Swarm-mode networking
Routing Mesh
Ingress and Internal Load-Balancing
Service Discovery
Encrypted Network Control-Plane and Data-Plane
Multi-host networking without external KV-Store
MACVLAN Driver

The number of questions Madhu got at the end of the online meetup was amazing and because he did not have time to answer all of them, we’ve added the rest of the Q&A below:
Q: Will you address the DNS configuration in Docker? We have two apps created with docker compose and would like to enable communication and DNS resolution from containers in one of the apps to containers in the other app.
Check out the PTAL external network feature in docker compose in the Docker docs to get started. If that does not satisfy your requirement, please raise an issue in docker/docker.
Q: What mechanism is used to register the different docker instances with each other so that they recognize a shared network between hosts, please?
Docker swarm-mode uses Raft and GRPC to communicate between docker instances. That’s how the nodes in the cluster exchange data and recognize shared network. At the data-plane, overlay driver uses VXLAN tunnels to provide per-network multi-host connectivity and isolation.
Q: Does it work with NSX?
This question is related to network plugins and the community has developed OVS & OVN plugins. We are not sure if NSX integration is feasible through that. Typically vendor plugin are created and maintained by the vendor directly.
Q: Is there a way to see all records registered in Docker internal DNS? Is it exposed via API so it can be queried?
The Internal DNS is not exposed but network inspect and service inspect APIs can be used to gather this information.
Q: Has swarm mode created dependency of docker-engine on iptables?
Docker Engines has been using iptables since 1.0 for the bridge driver. Swarm mode merely makes use of iptables to provide functionality like the routing mesh.
Q: Can I have only 2 nodes in swarm and both are managers and node themselves as well?
Docker recommends an odd number of manager nodes as the Raft consensus requires majority consensus and to take full advantage of the fault tolerance features of swarm mode. Please read through https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/raft/ for more information.
Q: Wil making ports into a cluster wide resources limit the number of total services whereas using public VIPs is expandable?
Yes. Docker does not control public VIP so it needs to be managed external to the docker cluster. However, only front-end services require port-publishing & only those services that requires port-publishing will be participating in the Routing Mesh. Back-end services do not reserve cluster-wide ports.
Q: Can I plumb more than one IP per container while only using one network?
At the moment, libnetwork supports one routable IP per endpoint (per network). But users can configure many more link-local ip-addresses to the same endpoint. If you are interested in discussing this capability further, please open an enhancement request in docker/docker.
Q: Can you insert records into DNS to cause static IPs to be used?
Docker doesn’t expose embedded DNS APIs externally. Users can provide external DNS using the –dns option and one can insert custom name-lookup entries in the external DNS server which will be used by the containers.
Q: Can you talk more about automatic key rotation for secure networks? How often does it occur and is the interval configurable? What process(es) are responsible for key rotation? How are the keys circulated throughout the cluster?
Please read the Overlay Security Model on the Docker Docs. Currently this is not configurable, but we are working on the configurability of this and other swarm mode features. Key-rotation is entirely handled by manager node process (swarmkit) and is distributed in the secured grpc channel established between the manager and workers.
Q: Regarding front end ports, is there a limitation on the number of port 80&8217;s you can listen on?
Yes. The best way to mitigate that is to run a global nginx or haproxy or other reverse-proxy service and back the backend services by the host-header.
Have a question that wasn’t answered or a specific requirement? Check out the Docker Forums or open an issue on GitHub.

The Dockerizing of VMworld 2016

Containers have landed…in VMs in the enterprise.

Docker’s adoption continues to grow in the enterprise. There have been over 5 billion images pulls, and 60% of users are running Docker in production environments. Today Docker is run everywhere – from development to production; in the cloud, on virtual machines and bare-metal servers. Enterprise application teams around the world are seeing the value of Docker containers and how they help them containerize their existing applications to save money and better utilize infrastructure resources.
To get the latest with Docker and vms stop by our Docker booth #2362 at VMworld. Containers and vms are different but are complementary when it comes to application deployment. With their ability to optimize infrastructure resources, accelerate deployment and provide additional security, Docker containers bring some serious benefits to virtualized workloads within enterprise environments. Additionally, a Dockerized workload gains portability as containers move from VMs or bare metal systems, on prem or in the cloud. That same platform serves as the foundation for your new microservices applications as well.

The Docker booth experience you won’t want to miss:
Live demos &8211; Three live demos will be featured in the booth, including:

Deploy your very first Docker container with a quick hands on tutorial
The latest Docker 1.12 with built in orchestration for intelligent host clustering and application scheduling
Witness how Docker delivers security and manageability at scale for the Enterprise with Docker Datacenter

Onsite Docker wizards from the Docker team to answer questions and provide 1:1 whiteboard session
Docker T-shirts and Swag (while supplies last) &8211; We think Moby Dock is pretty cool and have some great new t-shirts to share with you&8230;but you’re going to have to take a #DockerSelfie!
To get you prepped for Docker at VMworld 2016 we’ve included a reading list of three blogs. These will teach you about the technical differences between containers and VMs, and how you can leverage Docker containers and vms together to achieve better resource utilization.
Here are the reads:

Containers are not VMs &8211; This blog explains the technical difference between Docker containers and virtual machines
Containers and VMs Together &8211; This blog explains how containers and VMs can be used together to help you optimize your infrastructure.
Containerization for the Virtualization Admin &8211; This blog includes a replay of the Containers for The Virtualization Admin webinar.

Take a look at the image below. On the left side you’ll see containerization without vms. Notice how the Docker engine installs directly on the host OS, and how the three containerized applications running are completely isolated. On the right side you’ll see containerization combined with virtualization. Multiple docker containers can run within VMs. This enables you to better utilize your infrastructure resources.

But it’s more than just Docker containers…
Enterprise needs include security, scalability and application management. To meet these needs our customers have turned to Docker Datacenter, our commercial platform for Containers as a Service. This integrated platform is designed to take containerized applications from development to production. With everything from built in cluster/application orchestration to integrated end-to-end security, Docker Datacenter provides the enterprise grade controls IT ops need without sacrificing the agility and portability that the business requires in order to outpace competition.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at VMworld 2016 at booth 2362!

Your Software is Safer in Docker Containers

The #Docker security philosophy is Secure by Default. Meaning security should be inherent in the platform for all applications and not a separate solution that needs to be deployed, configured and integrated.
Today, Docker Engine supports all of the isolation features available in the Linux kernel. Not only that, but we’ve supported a simple user experience by implementing default configurations that provide greater protection for applications running within the Docker Engine, making strong security default for all containerized applications while still leaving the controls with the admin to change configurations and policies as needed.
But don’t take our word for it. Two independent groups have evaluated Docker Engine for you and recently released statements about the inherent security value of Docker.
Gartner analyst Joerg Fritsch recently published a new paper titled How to Secure Docker Containers in Operation on this blog post. In it Fritsch states the following:
“Gartner asserts that applications deployed in containers are more secure than applications deployed on the bare OS” because even if a container is cracked “they greatly limit the damage of a successful compromise because applications and users are isolated on a per-container basis so that they cannot compromise other containers or the host OS”.
Additionally, NCC Group contrasted the security features and defaults of container platforms and published the findings in the paper “Understanding and Hardening Linux Containers.” Included is an examination of attack surfaces, threats, related hardening features, a contrast of different defaults and recommendations across different container platforms. A key takeaway from this examination is the recommendation that applications are more secure by running in some form of Linux container than without.
“Containers offer many overall advantages. From a security perspective, they create a method to reduce attack surfaces and isolate applications to only the required components, interfaces, libraries and network connections.”
“In this modern age, I believe that there is little excuse for not running a Linux application in some form of a Linux container, MAC or lightweight sandbox.”
– Aaron Grattafiori, NCC Group

The chart below depicts the outcome of the security evaluation of three container platforms. Docker Engine was found to have a more comprehensive feature set with strong defaults.

Source: Understanding and Hardening Linux Containers

The Docker security philosophy of “Secure by Default” spans across the concepts of secure platform, secure content and secure access to deliver a modern software supply chain for the enterprise that is fundamentally secure. Built on a secure foundation with support for every Linux isolation feature, Docker Datacenter delivers additional features like application scanning, signing, role based access control (RBAC) and secure cluster configurations for complete lifecycle security. Leading enterprises like ADP trust Docker Datacenter to help harden the containers that process paychecks, manage benefits and store the most sensitive data for millions of employees across thousands of employers.

Securing the Enterprise Software Supply Chain Using Docker

At #Docker we have spent a lot of time discussing runtime security and isolation as a core part of the container architecture. However that is just one aspect of the total software pipeline. Instead of a one time flag or setting, we need to approach security as something that occurs at every stage of the application lifecycle. Organizations must apply security as a core part of the software supply chain where people, code and infrastructure are constantly moving, changing and interacting with each other.
If you consider a physical product like a phone, it’s not enough to think about the security of the end product. Beyond the decision of what kind of theft resistant packaging to use, you might want to know where the materials are sourced from and how they are assembled, packaged, transported. Additionally it is important to ensure that the phone is not tampered with or stolen along the way.

The software supply chain maps almost identically to the supply chain for a physical product. You have to be able to identify and trust the raw materials (code, dependencies, packages), assemble them together, ship them by sea, land, or air (network) to a store (repository) so the item (application) can be sold (deployed) to the end customer.
Securing the software supply chain is also also quite similar. You have to:

Identify all the stuff in your pipeline; from people, code, dependencies, to infrastructure
Ensure a consistent and quality build process
Protect the product while in storage and transit
Guarantee and validate the final product at delivery against a bill of materials

In this post we will explain how Docker’s security features can be used to provide active and continuous security for a software supply chain.
Identity
The foundation of the entire pipeline is built on identity and access. You fundamentally need to know who has access to what assets and can run processes against them. The Docker architecture has a distinct identity concept that underpins the security strategy for securing your software supply chain: cryptographic keys allows the publisher to sign images to ensure proof-of-origin, authenticity, and provenance for Docker images.
Consistent Builds: Good Input = Good Output
Establishing consistent builds allow you to create a repeatable process and get control of your application dependencies and components to make it easier to test for defects and vulnerabilities. When you have a clear understanding of your components, it becomes easier to identify the things that break or are anomalous.

To get consistent builds, you have to ensure you are adding good components:

Evaluate the quality of the dependency, make sure it is the most recent/compatible version and test it with your software
Authenticate that the component comes from a source you expect and was not corrupted or altered in transit
Pin the dependency ensuring subsequent rebuilds are consistent so it is easier to uncover if a defect is caused by a change in code or dependency
Build your image from a trusted, signed base image using Docker Content Trust

Application Signing Seals Your Build
Application signing is the step that effectively “seals” the artifact from the build. By signing the images, you ensure that whomever verifies the signature on the receiving side (docker pull) establishes a secure chain with you (the publisher). This relationship assures that the images were not altered, added to, or deleted from while stored in a registry or during transit. Additionally, signing indicates that the publisher “approves” that the image you have pulled is good.

Enabling Docker Content Trust on both build machines and the runtime environment sets a policy so that only signed images can be pulled and run on those Docker hosts. Signed images signal to others in the organization that the publisher (builder) declares the image to be good.
Security Scanning and Gating
Your CI system and developers verify that your build artifact works with the enumerated dependencies, that operations on your application have expected behavior in both the success path and failure path, but have they vetted the dependencies for vulnerabilities? Have they vetted subcomponents of the dependencies or bundled system libraries for dependencies? Do they know the licenses for their dependencies? This kind of vetting is almost never done on a regular basis, if at all, since it is a huge overhead on top of already delivering bugfixes and features.

Docker Security Scanning assists in automating the vetting process by scanning the image layers. Because this happens as the image is pushed to the repo, it acts as a last check or final gate before #containers are deployed into production. Currently available in Docker Cloud and coming soon to Docker Datacenter, Security Scanning creates a Bill of Materials of all of the image’s layers, including packages and versions. This Bill of Materials is used to continuously monitor against a variety of CVE databases. This ensures that this scanning happens more than once and notifies the system admin or application developer when a new vulnerability is reported for an application package that is in use.
Threshold Signing – Tying it all Together
One of the strongest security guarantees that comes from signing with Docker Content Trust is the ability to have multiple signers participate in the signing process for a container. To understand this, imagine a simple CI process that moves a container image through the following steps:

Automated CI
Docker Security Scanning
Promotion to Staging
Promotion to Production

This simple 4 step process can add a signature after each stage has been completed and verify the every stage of the CI/CD process has been followed.

Image passes CI? Add a signature!
Docker Security Scanning says the image is free of vulnerabilities? Add a signature!
Build successfully works in staging? Add a signature!
Verify the image against all 3 signatures and deploy to production

Now before a build can be deployed to the production cluster, it can be cryptographically verified that each stage of the CI/CD process has signed off on an image.
Conclusion
The Docker platform provide enterprises the ability to layer in security at each step of the software lifecycle. From establishing trust with their users, to the infrastructure and code, our model gives both freedom and control to the developer and IT teams. From building secure base images to scanning every image to signing every layer, each feature allows IT to layer in a level of trust and guarantee into the application. As applications move through their lifecycle, their security profile is actively managed, updated and finally gated before it is finally deployed.
