Next week is a busy one, will be speaking at DevOps Pro in Moscow then ApacheCON Europe in Seville. If you are around give me a shout!

And if you are organizing an event next year and are interested in me giving a talk, let me know.

From Monolith to Docker Distributed Applications

Docker is revolutionizing the way people think about applications and deployments. It provides a simple way to run and distribute Linux containers for a variety of use cases, from lightweight virtual machines to complex distributed micro-services architectures.

Containers allow to run services in isolation with a minimum performance penalty, increased speed, easier configuration and less complexity, making it ideal for continuous integration and continuous delivery based workloads. But migrating an existing application to a distributed micro-services architecture is no easy task, requiring a shift in the software development, networking and storage to accommodate the new architecture.

We will provide insight on our experience creating a Jenkins platform based on distributed Docker containers running on Apache Mesos and comparing other solutions as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm, applicable for all types of applications, but specially Java and JVM based nones.

CI and CD at Scale: Scaling Jenkins with Docker and Apache Mesos

As Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery usage grows, the underlying infrastructure needs to grow too, scaling horizontally across multiple hosts and dynamically provisioned as needed.

Docker is revolutionizing the way people think about applications and deployments. Apache Mesos enables fault-tolerant distributed systems and allows managing a cluster of Linux servers as a single system, running Docker containers across multiple hosts, offering elasticity and machine abstractions.

By using Apache Mesos and Marathon, an Apache Mesos framework for long-running applications, the Jenkins Continuous Integration environment can be run at scale, dynamically.

Jenkins masters can be run on Docker containers distributed on Marathon, while the Jenkins Mesos and Docker plugins allow slaves and jobs to run in containers distributed across the multiple hosts, and isolating job execution.
