Infrastructure is sort of … dumb, or at least annoyingly so.

Individuals or Collections Single Purpose Single Application

… Re-configure? Pave over, usually.

But why do we do this?

It’s a bit of a infrastructure flea market.

Smarter Infrastructure.

Open Hardware Open Source API

OnMetal

It’s getting smarter.

… But! It’s hard to learn, and hard to build.

We believe in a better future.

Stop thinking about infrastructure.

Invert your thinking

Applications come first.

name: web replicas: 5, labels: [ env=production ], uses: [ postgresql ], images: [ web:v2014-07-23, redis:2.8.13, ], requirements: { memory: 2GB, networkIO: 5MB/s }

Self-optimizing. Self-healing. Self-organizing

Build, test, pivot faster.

The “stack” is a distraction.

Can we abstract containers?

We’re not as far off as you think

Google/Twitter/etc has this already & has been describing it for years

Containers (cgroups, namespaces)

Cluster configuration (Google Chubby)

Scheduling (Omega, Aurora)

Load balancing

Internal and external monitoring

Access Control throughout the system (unknown)

So, we’re (sort) of getting there…

We’re just on the brink.

It’s not about how much memory is in your computer.

We need companies and partners to go and create this future.

We’re stuck in a box where we want to think about servers.

Applications need to be configured with clustering in mind

Applications need to be automatically built from source… … and available as containers

Rethink & focus on what is most important: Users, Developers, Applications

Define [success]

!

No debates on what configuration management tool is the best today.

“DevOps is dead.” !- Abraham Lincoln

Pipeline of code to containers to production

Servers are shared & applications run side-by-side

Configuration is global and atomically updated

When everyone can do this.

Faster Idea Test Success Cycles

Hint: It’s not Platform as a Service.

No More bizarre and byzantine decisions.

It’s not for everyone yet.

How do we migrate to this?

What does the industry look like?

You focus on your ideas. Global application fabric.
