The Mushroom Cloud Effect or What Happens When Containers Fail? by Dynatrace

Micro service architectures result in up to 20 times larger environments than their monolithic counterparts. In such big and interconnected environments container metrics will tell you about infrastructure health but not service health. Even if you have implemented service health checks to quickly react on service failures, in a resilient system you will see intermediary mushroom cloud effects of a large number of services being affected temporarily. How do you find out what really caused the problem and how to distinguish effect vs. cause?

In this session we will do post-mortem analysis by walking through different cases of failures we've observed in a real-world large e-commerce production environment and show you how to figure out what actually caused the failures.

Chugging Our Own "Craft Brew” – HPE’s Journey Towards Containers-as-a-Service 

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has a vast IT organization that consists of 15k Dev + Ops professionals, operating in 11 countries, with hundreds of development teams working together on over 1000 projects. Millions of lines of code get changed every day, generating 20,000+ change request in an average year. And now, we’re on a journey to building a Docker environment for this massive organization, to serve the needs of our own multi-billion dollar enterprise. This session showcases our own learnings across multiple phases of our containerization project, with real life experiences from both the Dev and Ops perspectives. We’ll also talk about shared experiences from some of HPE’s customers. “Coding” our infrastructure with Docker, one application image, one deployment command, multiple deployment models – this is an “extreme” tale of how one of the world’s largest enterprises is fully embracing Docker.
