Re: Storage Patterns for container native - community content
Alex,
I agree with Clinton’s point that we want to focus on what makes Cloud-Native different, not sure covering all the legacy Storage protocols serves that purpose
There are too many users today that try to fit VM concepts into Cloud-Native and take us out of focus
The key point is allowing continuous development and ops, elasticity, distribution, ..
Looking at the 12 factors, notions of Stateless & immutable tasks, Service bindings (to data), Atomicity are enabling that
It’s a different craft than today’s storage approached as I highlighted in my blog post, e.g. you don’t snapshot/backup a POD, you build it from a Git tag
You use message queues to enable elastic scaling and fault-tolerance, you store data using atomic operations (to Obj/NoSQL) vs trust file-systems to flush data out and risk inconsistent states. For the guys
who would argue they want to snapshot stateful services like Mongo/Cassandra/Object, a short reminder is those are un-coordinated scaled-out instances, and in many cases versioning and re-builds are built into it

Clinton / Yaron,
Thank you for the feedback. We will get some of that added to the doc, although we were thinking of covering some of those topics in more depth in future articles. We’ll update the draft and recirculate.
Thanks,
Alex
Alex,
Sorry for the late review. My concern currently is that the document spends 80% of the time talking about what is known about some storage platforms today and the
last portion discussing what looks to be technical details of a specific storage platform implementation. Cloud native with storage is definitely different, and just applying existing hardware thinking to this new area doesn't feel quite right.
Here are some of the questions that I think should be answered which leads towards a "what is cloud native storage topic".
What makes storage in cloud native computing different?
What cloud native applications require persistent storage of any form?
What kinds of storage services are used with cloud native applications?
What role does integration and interoperability play to build cloud native storage?
What opportunities do cloud native orchestrators present for operating persistent storage platforms?
What is cloud native storage?

Hi,
We have prepared the content for the first topic in the list (albeit a little later than we hoped for). This is the first doc we have produced and is meant to serve as an overview of storage
concepts to provide some background before going into the more detailed content articles we are planning next. We have tried to keep it fairly broad and have touched on some of the technologies found in many enterprises as well as in CN environments like
virtual and distributed options.
I’d like to know your thoughts and get feedback and comments (I’m sure there will be loads) so that we can make it a better doc for the community. Also, as per the previous request – we would
be very happy to work with anybody else who might have some time to contribute!

Subject: Storage Patterns for container native - community content
Hi,
Following the discussion at the last TOC call, I’m attaching a doc to cover the topics that we are volunteering to generate for the community. As background, we are proposing to
focus this series on storage related patterns, starting with an overview and moving onto more complex use cases and examples. We are planning to generate roughly an article a week on average for around ~3 months.
I’m keen to understand if this is in line with what you think would be useful to the community and would be interested in any feedback and comments. We would obviously be more than
happy to work with anyone else who might be interested in contributing and/or any opportunity for joint work on any of the topics.

I am pleased to report that the TOC have reached consensus on this,
following discussions in Tahoe.
CNCF now has:
* Storage WG chaired by Ben Hindman
* CI WG chaired by Camille Fournier
* Cluster WG chaired by Bryan Cantrill
For now, WGs are chaired by TOC voting members. This is not a
perpetual requirement. Let's keep it that way until we know more.
As with CNCF OSS projects, WGs will be as self-governed as possible.
Some norms may emerge in time and even become rules.
As of today:
* Feel free to contact the named people to join discussions.
* Feel free to initiate discussions on the CNCF TOC list, pending
creation of lists / docs / whatever the WGs need.
* Feel free to request updates

ANN: Formation of Working Groups
All,
An agenda item for the TOC f2f was the possible formation of "working groups". These have come up a number of times in the last 9+ months since the TOC formed. The idea is to spawn CNCF TOC discussions off into their own groups, with a stated topic and chairperson.
I am pleased to report that the TOC have reached consensus on this, following discussions in Tahoe.
CNCF now has:
* Storage WG chaired by Ben Hindman * CI WG chaired by Camille Fournier * Cluster WG chaired by Bryan Cantrill

Re: Interesting tech marketing from Amazon
Andy, thanks, sure we should follow w “How” after the “Why”
Another reason for that order is to set the architecture context, e.g. many still view containers as lightweight VMs, can see requests for volume backup/snapshots, “vmotion”
.. those violate the cloud-native notion of “disposable” containers/micro-services (which enable reliability, changing versions on the fly, scaling-out, .. i.e. continuous dev & ops).
I assume once CNCF defines the why/goal we should come with a reference architecture of how to enable these next gen apps, e.g. see a great post from Brian Gracely on Cloud-Native
apps & data architecture:
http://wikibon.com/new-applications-require-a-modern-look-at-data-management/
Note how he captured both Biz/CIO level (why) messages with the tech details (how)

Subject: Re: [cncf-toc] Interesting tech marketing from Amazon
I agree the emphasis of our outbound messaging should be on the why (and the "what's in it for me?"). And Yaron's suggestion of "because it gets you business agility through continuous dev and ops") sounds good to me as a first stab in
that direction. That's good marketing. It will certainly get someone interested if they hear that cloud native will help them make their business more agile.
However we also, I think, must define what "cloud native" actually is. Because once you've got them sold that cloud native has the right kind of attributes, they will want to know what it actually means to implement it. And if the answer is "cloud native is
anything that makes your business more agile" or just "continuous dev and ops" (with nothing to explain how that's achieved) then we will be perceived as nothing more than a marketing organization with no technical credibility.
At the risk of being controversial I would posit that has the following implications::
1) we must be somewhat opinionated about what makes something "cloud native" -- otherwise everything is cloud native (that obviously doesn't mean we have to say "you must use some specific technology" to be cloud native)
2) without a litmus test that most legacy apps and infrastructure technologies fail, then it is meaningless
3) similarly, in order to be meaningful, it must be possible for cloud native as we currently define it to be made obsolete in the future. (At which point we can wind down or redefine our mission -- but if our definition of cloud native continues to work whatever
the developments in technology in the future, then it's not specific enough.)
I really want CNCF to be perceived as relevant and pointing the way for the industry. If we just churn out platitudes (aka motherhood and apple pie) we will fail.

I agree with some earlier comments about being too opinionated. A broad definition
could be "a computing environment focused on optimizing for applications in cloud operating models". This feels like the most natural and direct way to define cloud native computing while ensuring the relevance to how we are seeing people make use of it today
and tomorrow.
The definition leads to a lot of what was discussed in this thread.

- Patterns (micro-services, scale-out, DevOps, CI)

I like Mark's comments. However, I worry about "massive scale" as a message. LOTS of people I talked with at CloudNativeCon and
other shows recently have been doing fairly small scale deployments, but they're still cloud native. I think the nature of how we scale is important -- it's about the distributed, scale-out architectures that enable massive scale (but don't impose a cost burden
for the small development shop that's running on a half dozen VMs in AWS).
I think "Dynamically scalable" captures that better.
Management includes scaling, so IMO "dynamically managed" implies dynamic scaling, as well as a higher rate of change than people
had been accustomed to in the past.
In practice, the way this is achieved is through automation.
The inclusion of container-packaged and micro-services in the charter is an opinionated (and informed) stance about where the puck
is headed.
And you could add "built on open source foundation" as a fourth, or leave it implicit given the foundation nature of LF/CNCF.

From those core requirements we can rationalize containerization, microservices and continuous delivery.

Re: Interesting tech marketing from Amazon

Tony Hsu
As a big fan of Joe Beta and Craig McLuckie, my three ingredients for cloud-native operations are containers, orchestrators and microservice frameworks. These three terms come from Craig's post announcing the start of Heptio. https://goo.gl/aJgiQk
Our limbic brains are responsible for all of our feelings, like trust and loyalty. It's also responsible for all human behavior, all decision-making, and it has no capacity for language. Please don't rely on logic and facts, it just doesn't drive behavior.

the nature of how we scale is important -- it's about the distributed, scale-out architectures that enable massive scale (but don't impose a cost burden for the small development shop that's running on a half dozen VMs in AWS).
I think "Dynamically scalable" captures that better.
Management includes scaling, so IMO "dynamically managed" implies dynamic scaling, as well as a higher rate of change than people had been accustomed to in the past.
In practice, the way this is achieved is through automation.
The inclusion of container-packaged and micro-services in the charter is an opinionated (and informed) stance about where the puck is headed.
And you could add "built on open source foundation" as a fourth, or leave it implicit given the foundation nature of LF/CNCF.

From those core requirements we can rationalize containerization, microservices and continuous delivery.
From those 'practices' we can talk about specific tools.
Where we fall down is when we start from the tools, but obviously a large part of getting things right (especially microservices I would argue) require pink matter.

---
Name of project: gRPC Description: Google has been using a single general-purpose RPC infrastructure called Stubby to connect the large number of microservices running within and across our data centers for over a decade. Our internal systems have long embraced the microservice architecture gaining popularity today. Stubby has powered all of Google’s microservices interconnect for over a decade and is the RPC backbone behind every Google service that you use today. Having a uniform, cross-platform RPC infrastructure has allowed for the rollout of fleet-wide improvements in efficiency, security, reliability and behavioral analysis critical to supporting the incredible growth seen in that period. In March 2015, Google decided to build the next version of Stubby in the open to share their learnings with the industry and collaborate with them to build the next version of Stubby. gRPC is a modern open-source high-performance RPC framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in multiple languages in and across data centers with pluggable support for service discovery, load balancing, monitoring, tracing, health checking and authentication. It is also applicable in last mile of distributed computing to connect devices, mobile applications and browsers to backend services.
