Why?
• Machine images:
✓ Backup/Restore
✓ Cloning/Replication
• Provisioning (a.k.a. Automation):
✓ Speed/Resources
✓ Reusability/Continuous Improvement

Challenges
• Storage: Don’t store data in containers, use volumes!
• Networking: Don’t rely in hostnames or IP addresses
• Clustering: A lot of options. Work in progress (Kubernetes, Docker
Swarm, Mesos)

30. sysco.no
Challenges
• Continuous Integration/Delivery: Use Jenkins to orchestrate your
building process

31. sysco.no
Challenges
• Monitoring and Management: Control and monitor your data-center
provisioning
