Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Magnum] Scheduling for Magnum

Steve,

So you mean we should focus on docker and k8s scheduler? I was a bit confused, why do we need to care k8s? As the k8s cluster was created by heat and once the k8s was created, the k8s has its own scheduler for creating pods/service/rcs.

So seems we only need to care scheduler for native docker and ironic bay, comments?

Ya scheduler only matters for native docker.  Ironic bay can be k8s or docker+swarm or something similar.

But yup, I understand your point.


Thanks!

Thierry,
Magnum has an object type of a bay which represents the underlying cluster
architecture used.  This could be kubernetes, raw docker, swarmd, or some
future invention.  This way Magnum can grow independently of the
underlying technology and provide a satisfactory user experience dealing
with the chaos that is the container development world :)

While I don't disagree with anything said here, this does sound a lot like https://xkcd.com/927/


Andrew had suggested offering a unified standard user experience and API.  I think that matches the 927 comic pretty well.  I think we should offer each type of system using APIs that are similar in nature but that offer the native features of the system.  In other words, we will offer integration across the various container landscape with OpenStack.

We should strive to be conservative and pragmatic in our systems support and only support container schedulers and container managers that have become strongly emergent systems.  At this point that is docker and kubernetes.  Mesos might fit that definition as well.  Swarmd and rocket are not yet strongly emergent, but they show promise of becoming so.  As a result, they are clearly systems we should be thinking about for our roadmap.  All of these systems present very similar operational models.

At some point competition will choke off new system design placing an upper bound on the amount of systems we have to deal with.

We will absolutely support relevant container technology, likely through
new Bay formats (which are really just heat templates).
