Kai Qiang,

A major benefit is to have Magnum manage the COEs for end-users. Currently, 
Magnum basically have its end-users manage the COEs by themselves after a 
successful deployment. This might work well for domain users, but it is a pain 
for non-domain users to manage their COEs. By moving master nodes out of users’ 
tenants, Magnum could offer users a COE management service. For example, Magnum 
could offer to monitor the etcd/swarm-manage clusters and recover them on 
failure. Again, the pattern of managing COEs for end-users is what Google 
container service and AWS container service offer. I guess it is fair to 
conclude that there are use cases out there?

If we decide to offer a COE management service, we could discuss further on how 
to consolidate the IaaS resources for improving utilization. Solutions could be 
(i) introducing a centralized control services for all tenants/clusters, or 
(ii) keeping the control services separated but isolating them by containers 
(instead of VMs). A typical use case is what Kris mentioned below.

Best regards,
Hongbin

Hi HongBin and Egor,
I went through what you talked about, and thinking what's the great benefits 
for utilisation here.
For user cases, looks like following:

user A want to have a COE provision.
user B want to have a separate COE. (different tenant, non-share)
user C want to use existed COE (same tenant as User A, share)

When you talked about utilisation case, it seems you mentioned:
different tenant users want to use same control node to manage different nodes, 
it seems that try to make COE openstack tenant aware, it also means you want to 
introduce another control schedule layer above the COEs, we need to think about 
the if it is typical user case, and what's the benefit compared with 
containerisation.


And finally, it is a topic can be discussed in middle cycle meeting.


Thanks

Best Wishes,

Egor,

Thanks for sharing your insights. I gave it more thoughts. Maybe the goal can 
be achieved without implementing a shared COE. We could move all the master 
nodes out of user tenants, containerize them, and consolidate them into a set 
of VMs/Physical servers.

I think we could separate the discussion into two:
1. Should Magnum introduce a new bay type, in which master nodes are managed by 
Magnum (not users themselves)? Like what GCE [1] or ECS [2] does.
2. How to consolidate the control services that originally runs on master nodes 
of each cluster?

Note that the proposal is for adding a new COE (not for changing the existing 
COEs). That means users will continue to provision existing self-managed COE 
(k8s/swarm/mesos) if they choose to.

Hongbin,

I am not sure that it's good idea, it looks you propose Magnum enter to 
"schedulers war" (personally I tired from these debates Mesos vs Kub vs Swarm).
If your concern is just utilization you can always run control plane at 
"agent/slave" nodes, there main reason why operators (at least in our case) 
keep them
separate because they need different attention (e.g. I almost don't care 
why/when "agent/slave" node died, but always double check that master node was
repaired or replaced).

One use case I see for shared COE (at least in our environment), when 
developers want run just docker container without installing anything locally
(e.g docker-machine). But in most cases it's just examples from internet or 
there own experiments ):

But we definitely should discuss it during midcycle next week.

Hi team,

Sorry for bringing up this old thread, but a recent debate on container 
resource [1] reminded me the use case Kris mentioned below. I am going to 
propose a preliminary idea to address the use case. Of course, we could 
continue the discussion in the team meeting or midcycle.

Idea: Introduce a docker-native COE, which consists of only minion/worker/slave 
nodes (no master nodes).
Goal: Eliminate duplicated IaaS resources (master node VMs, lbaas vips, 
floating ips, etc.)
Details: Traditional COE (k8s/swarm/mesos) consists of master nodes and worker 
nodes. In these COEs, control services (i.e. scheduler) run on master nodes, 
and containers run on worker nodes. If we can port the COE control services to 
Magnum control plate and share them with all tenants, we eliminate the need of 
master nodes thus improving resource utilization. In the new COE, users 
create/manage containers through Magnum API endpoints. Magnum is responsible to 
spin tenant VMs, schedule containers to the VMs, and manage the life-cycle of 
those containers. Unlike other COEs, containers created by this COE are 
considered as OpenStack-manage resources. That means they will be tracked in 
Magnum DB, and accessible by other OpenStack services (i.e. Horizon, Heat, 
etc.).

What do you feel about this proposal? Let’s discuss.

We are looking at deploying magnum as an answer for how do we do containers 
company wide at Godaddy. I am going to agree with both you and josh.

I agree that managing one large system is going to be a pain and pas experience 
tells me this wont be practical/scale, however from experience I also know 
exactly the pain Josh is talking about.

We currently have ~4k projects in our internal openstack cloud, about 1/4 of 
the projects are currently doing some form of containers on their own, with 
more joining every day. If all of these projects were to convert of to the 
current magnum configuration we would suddenly be attempting to 
support/configure ~1k magnum clusters. Considering that everyone will want it 
HA, we are looking at a minimum of 2 kube nodes per cluster + lbaas vips + 
floating ips. From a capacity standpoint this is an excessive amount of 
duplicated infrastructure to spinup in projects where people maybe running 
10�C20 containers per project. From an operator support perspective this is a 
special level of hell that I do not want to get into. Even if I am off by 75%, 
250 still sucks.

From my point of view an ideal use case for companies like ours (yahoo/godaddy) 
would be able to support hierarchical projects in magnum. That way we could 
create a project for each department, and then the subteams of those 
departments can have their own projects. We create a a bay per department. 
Sub-projects if they want to can support creation of their own bays (but 
support of the kube cluster would then fall to that team). When a sub-project 
spins up a pod on a bay, minions get created inside that teams sub projects and 
the containers in that pod run on the capacity that was spun up under that 
project, the minions for each pod would be a in a scaling group and as such 
grow/shrink as dictated by load.

The above would make it so where we support a minimal, yet imho reasonable, 
number of kube clusters, give people who can't/don’t want to fall inline with 
the provided resource a way to make their own and still offer a "good enough 
for a single company" level of multi-tenancy.
