ContainerOrchestration Lab Setup
This document describes what you need to do to follow these labs (Updated for PyConUS 2017, Portland, May 2017).
Once you're ready to come to the tutorial - meaning that either
- you decided what environment/mix of environments you'll use
- you don't know (no problem, we can advise)
to run different parts of the lab, please respond to the following anonymous survey.
This will help us to help you during the lab, to know what are your expectations, your experience and what environment you choose to use or if you don't know what to choose.
Pre-requisites
For this lab you will need a laptop either with specific software installed as described below or to browse to online cloud services.
- Minimum: Laptop with browser
Note that all labs can be performed online (but may require paid or free trial access) but you may wish to download software to run locally on your laptop.
Running labs online
Links to online platforms are provided BELOW with indications if fee or paid (with link to free trial).
Running labs online
It is recommended that you download any software artifacts in advance to avoid installing over the conference network. Links to software to install, where you choose to do so, are provided below.
We will bring most needed software for the labs, for Linux, MacOS, Windows, on USB key just in case.
Whilst the list of software is long, if you decide to install locally you will only need a subset of the software for your OS, and chosen solution.
Choosing your environment by Lab:
There are 3 lab sections for Docker Swarm, Kubernetes and Apache Mesos and you may choose different solutions for each section, dependant upon
- What OS (Linux, MacOS, Windows prior to 10, Windows 10) you are running on your laptop
- Disk space available
- Existing cloud services you may be signed up to (e.g. Google Cloud, Micosoft Azure, Digital Ocean, AWS EC2) or wish to take a trial subscription
- Whether you want to keep the results on your laptop
