Who uses Docker?

Who uses Docker in production?

Who uses stateful Docker images?

Who uses our images?

Who uses our stack with other images?

Docker: the world's most heavily funded college project Internal quote from Slack

Docker Hub "official"

What do you get? docker pull elasticsearch:X Same for Kibana and Logstash

It's Complicated Docker Inc Deprecated Replicated

Custom Registry docker.elastic.co

I’m surprised more people don’t just host their own container registries since doing that is faster than every cloud offering and docker hub https://twitter.com/jessfraz/status/978449365261082625

Our Motivation Download statistics Speed & reliability

https://www.docker.elastic.co

Problems Some broken tooling like automated builds, Kitematic,... China IPv6

Base Images

Elasticsearch Alpine

Kibana Beats Logstash Ubuntu

Common base image in 5.4+ CentOS 7

https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-docker/blob/master/templates/Dockerfile.j2 FROM centos:7 AS prep_es_files ENV PATH /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin:$PATH RUN curl -s https://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk11/13/GPL/openjdk-11.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz | \ tar -C /opt -zxf ENV JAVA_HOME /opt/jdk-11.0.1 RUN groupadd -g 1000 elasticsearch && \ adduser -u 1000 -g 1000 -d /usr/share/elasticsearch elasticsearch

Upside Similar setup Shared layers JVM large anyway

Does it matter? stateful vs stateless

What to include?

Single image for 5.x Platinum trial

Three flavors 6.0 to 6.2 * Basic , OSS, Platinum trial * Default

Two flavors 6.3+ * Basic / Platinum trial , OSS * Default

Future

Multiple base images?

Windows?!

Release Policy

No :latest

Zombies ideas that should have been killed by evidence, but keep shambling along

6 and 6.4?

What's in a tag? docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana 5.3.3 5.3.3 5.3.3 5857f98b5920 c01be8a8f630 ffe778f7e489 4 months ago 5 months ago 5 months ago

Future Add image version?

Security & Stability

Run Elasticsearch as root

Cockroaches claims that disappear for a while when proved wrong, but just keep on coming back

Mode Production: Clusterable Development: Local network

"Docker" mode discovery.type=single-node

Bootstrap checks are here to stay

6.0+ no more default credentials

6.x Security non-trial requires certificates

The container runs Elasticsearch as user elasticsearch using uid:gid 1000:1000. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/ docker.html

Don't mutate the bind mounted local directory

Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. — Henry Spencer

Docker default value? LimitNOFILE & LimitNPROC

infinity https://github.com/moby/moby/commit/ 8db61095a3d0bcb0733580734ba5d54bc27a614d (July 2016)

Test $ docker run --rm centos:7 /bin/bash -c \ 'ulimit -Hn && ulimit -Sn && ulimit -Hu && ulimit -Su' 1048576 1048576 unlimited unlimited

Limit for virtual memory? vm.max_map_count

Test $ docker run --rm centos:7 /bin/bash -c \ 'sysctl vm.max_map_count' vm.max_map_count = 262144 Must be set on the host

Combine two new systems to get chaos & despair

Docker is a leaky abstraction

Customization

Feature Request if [ -f /custom/user_init.sh ] then . /custom/user_init.sh fi Or customization through environment variables

No Runtime Mutation

Orchestration

Who uses Kubernetes?

Who uses Swarm?

Who uses Mesos?

Who uses Nomad?

No orchestration yet

Kubernetes 1.8 allows dots in env vars https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/2707

Kubernetes has made huge improvements in the ability to run stateful workloads including databases and message queues, but I still prefer not to run them on Kubernetes. https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/963413508300812295

Conclusion

"Docker is disrupting the industry"

"Can I run Elasticsearch on Docker?"

"Should I run Elasticsearch on Docker?"

Even when stateful services do the right things managing state is still hard. Mixing stateful and stateless applications on the same cluster elevates the complexity of the entire cluster. Cluster security and upgrades become much harder. https://twitter.com/kelseyhightower/status/963417215608369153

Quick Quiz What do you get?

docker pull elastic/elasticsearch

$ docker pull elastic/elasticsearch Using default tag: latest Error response from daemon: manifest for elastic/elasticsearch:latest not found

docker pull logstash:alpine

docker pull metricbeat:6.4.3

$ docker pull metricbeat:6.4.3 Error response from daemon: pull access denied for metricbeat, repository does not exist or may require 'docker login'

docker pull elastic/metricbeat:6.4.3

docker pull docker.elastic.co/apm/apm-server:6.4.3
