The Points

  • The Problems
  • The Solutions
  • An Implementation (Harbor)

State Of Orchestration

K8s

Swarm

Mesos

Orchestration Providers

A sample of orchestration platforms available

ECS 

ACS

The Problems

  • Vendor Lock In
  • Wasted cycles for developers
  • No visible migration path
  • mixed concerns (orchestration vs application)
  • Utilization efforts not fully centralized
  • Hard to isolate orchestration providers while testing different ones

The Solutions

  • one integration point
  • A thin layer of abstraction which does not block other workflow integrations
  • ability to pivot
  • Keep utilization factors centralized and driven by ops
  • isolate orchestration layers and test business metrics
  • allow developers to focus on applications
  • shield ourselves from breaking changes in community

Harbor

K8s

Marathon

Swarm

A tool to help navigate the sea of change

ECS

ACS

What is Harbor?

Shipit

UI

Trigger

A collection of APIs that declare and initiate application state.
