PositioningPlatform as a service

Containers• Based on shared operating systems. • They are much skinner and more efficient than hypervisors.• Light-weight and resource friendly.• Neat capsule containing your application.

Management• Spinning up a service.• Destroy a service.• Migrating.• Suspend and resume.• Scaling up.

Monitoring• Health status.• Disk, Memory, CPU and network status.

High Availability• Fail over.• Avoid single point of failure.

Architecture

ToolsContainers Docker : Open-source project that provides an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating system–level virtualization on Linux.

Management Kubernetes : Open source implementation of container cluster management. Shipyard : Shipyard enables multi-host, Docker cluster management

Dynamic Scaling Mesos : Simplifies complexity of running applications in a dynamically shared pool of nodes.

Service Discovery etcd : Open source distributed key value store that provides shared configuration and service discovery for CoreOS clusters.

Secure and Highly available CoreOS : Allows us to create a secure and highly available platform.

Opportunity

• Rapid market growth. • Rival firms are complacent.• Changing customer needs/tastes.• New uses for product discovered, Economic boom.• This technology is in underdevelopment, we can take over to next level.This technology is in underdevelopment, we can take over to next level.

Threat• Intense competition in open source software products.• Changing business needs and habits.• Open source projects has more contributors.• PAAS community growth rate is faster than before.

Existing system

• Scaling docker containers in CoreOS platform is difficult.• Working with Docker containers, CoreOS is complex because of CLI.• Security updates in CoreOS requires rebooting the nodes (Which has service downtime).• Monitoring tools with respect to container level, OS level and cluster level is not available in

the market (Which is of utmost Business need).

Proposed system

• Kubernetes and Mesos can be integrated to make scaling easier and manageable (Solves scaling issue).

• Management tool to provision/manage containers and CoreOS under ONE ROOF (Solves CLI issue).

• Introduction of live patching with CoreOS nodes to avoid reboot during security updates (Solves Downtime issue).

• Single tool to monitor and manage container level, OS level and cluster level resources (Solves administrative complexity).

What we can do?

We will enhance private PAAS by implementing proposed system,

• PAAS management.• Dynamic scaling up.• Monitoring.• Zero down time on updates.
