Why do some people believe that Google Cloud Compute Engine instances are containers like Docker, when in fact they are full virtual machines using the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine hypervisor?

Well, I believe it because I met and discussed it with some of the Google engineers responsible for that area. And I am not special in that respect: it’s not a secret. Here’s the missing link: Google runs KVM in a container. To be crystal clear, a container is not an actual Linux construct. There is no Linux system call you can make to create a container. Instead, it is the term we give to the usage of Linux primitives like namespaces and cgroups to partition applications into their own Linux-level virtual compute space. Except we don’t call it that, we call it a container. So, at the lowest level, Google’s infrastructure schedules containers. To create a virtual machine, google runs KVM in one of those containers. So the document you link to is absolutely valid *and* KVM runs in a containe(more)

What does Google Cloud (Compute Engine) exactly provide to the user? Does it enable you to use a VM as it is your own PC?

No, but to be honest, I think that’s what their gaming system is for. Reverse marketing. They don’t expect it to be a hit, but if they’re almost good enough for gaming, then they’re certainly good enough for me. They’re not aiming for gamers, but everyone else. There is definitely a market for public VDI. I was working on that concept ten years ago, but I didn’t have the resources to pull it off. Back then, watching Youtube videos on the client was not feasible. These days, you could probably kill the whole PC industry if you had the resources. If Google develops something like JackPC that is able to connect to their Stadia and provide a VM, I would recommend it to my father, but I wouldn’t use it, because I still have a long life to live and I’m not giving it to Google. But if they made i(more)

How does Google Cloud Engine run its Compute Engine virtual machines inside containers?

Google runs Linux on its hardware (AKA “Linux on bare metal”). As part of that Linux image, it has its own Linux container implementation based on cgroups and namespaces. In Google Cloud platform, it then runs KVM inside a Linux container, and the VMs run on top of KVM. So the hierarchy is VM->KVM->Linux->Bare metal(more)

What is the difference between Compute Engine, App Engine and Container Engine in Google Cloud?

Lets have two variables (although they can be more): ease of administration, constraints of use. App Engine: from your side there is almost no administration, you write code (with somewhat limited possibilities), upload and basically don’t have other major concerns (well maybe how to lower your bills if your app gets popular)) all the rest (storage, scaling, installing programs etc.) handles app engine Compute Engine is virtual machine with preinstalled OS and you can do with it whatever you want. That means you have to install all programs by yourself but you are not limited with what can you do with it. Container Engine is another level above Compute Engine, i.e. it’s cluster of several Compute Engine instances which can be centrally managed. There is also one level between GAE and GCE:(more)

Which is more cost effective Amazon S3 and EC2 vs Google cloud storage and compute engine for a large scale website?

Both of them have almost the same price but they have different type of discounts. For instance AWS has “Reserved Instance” discount model for 1 or 3 year purchase. You have to pay almost 1/3 of the period as pre-paid and you’ll get %30–60 discounts depends on period you choose and EC2 instance type you have. Google Cloud has a monthly discount model and it applies automatically if you use a compute engine more than 10 days in a month. If you run the compute instance during the month you may have %30 discount without pre-pay anything. So both of them have discounts but in a different financial payment model. As an alternative, you can checkout DigitalOcean for the affordable prices.(more)

What are the differences between AppEngine, Compute Engine and Containers on Google Cloud Platform?

They’re three different approaches to running services on virtual machines. AppEngine is designed around automatic scaling of services. There’s actually two different flavors of AppEngine entirely : the “standard environment,” which is a sandbox, and the “flexible environment,” which is a more traditional (though still not traditional!) VM running in a Docker container. Both versions are designed to automatically spawn more instances of your service in response to increases in load, and isolate you from a lot of hard SRE problems. Compute Engine is just plain old virtual machines. If you want to run an instance of a VM with a certain amount of memory and hard drive space, running under a given version of Linux, and not have to worry about physical equipment, Compute Engine is for you.

Which is more cost effective Amazon S3 and EC2 vs Google cloud storage and compute engine for a small scale website?

I do not understand why the question asks about both EC2/Compute Engine and Cloud-Storage/S3. Cloud-Storage/S3 is used to serve static websites. The EC2/computer engine is typically used to serve dynamic content (However, it can serve static websites too). I would try and figure out which one of these suits your use better. In both the cases, however, GCP is cheaper (You also get credits to use it free for one year) – they even have a page where you can calculate how much you save moving from AWS to GC → Google Cloud Platform Pricing Calculator | Google Cloud Platform | Google Cloud (The only case where I have seen GCP is more expensive is when it comes to hosting proprietary licensed DBs like MS SQL).(more)

How well does Hadoop on Google Cloud Platform work when Compute Engine storage is over the network?

We started offering our hadoop service on GCE. We ran hadoop workloads with a root persistent disk(storage over network) and an additional persistent disk of size 500 GB. Consistently, we observed that the performance is better than other leading cloud providers where we used local disks of the instance. Few months back, GCE was offering scratch disks. They decided to replace scratch disks with persistent disk when they went GA. This fact clearly shows that there was enough confidence, that persistent disks were performing well compared to scratch disks. (if thats not the case, Google would not have made this bold move and continued offering scratch disks also like AWS) This performance must partly be attributed to their networking stack. Its considered the best out there in the(more)

Why does Google care about winning the cloud computing engine space over Amazon from a strategy perspective? Why is this important to Google?

Google has been building and using its own private cloud since the start of the company. They have always been known for about setting the standards in many industries, and public cloud is what happening. For years, people would always wanted to use their cloud technology (Colossus, BigTable, GAE, etc..). Strategically, Google knows that if they focus more on providing and marketing their public cloud based on what they currently use, people who look up to them would see it as standard, and it’s all good for business. Another reason is, with recent acquisitions (for instance, Nest), Google realized that those successful startups they acquire use AWS more than GCP. Telling the existing development teams to migrate to GCP will disrupt the team (just like Microsoft’s acquisition of Minecraft(more)

How is Kubernetes (k8s) different from Docker?James Lee·June 7, 2018Former Software Engineer at Google (company) (2013–2016)

Indeed Kubernetes and Docker are two different things that are related to each other. Let’s have a look; After getting used to Docker, you realize that there should be ‘Docker run’ commands or something like that to run many containers across heterogeneous hosts. Here is when Kubernetes or k8s comes in. It solved many problems that Docker had. Kubernetes is based on Google’s container management system- Borg and language used is Go. It is a COE (Container Orchestration Environment) for Docker containers. The function of COE is to make it sure that application is launched and running properly. If in case a container fails, Kubernetes will spin up another container. It provides a complete system for running so many containers across multiple hosts. It has load balancer integrated and uses etc(more)

What are some benefits in using Kubernetes?Rahul Ladumor·January 6, 2019Bsc.IT in Ethical Hacking & Cloud Computing, J. P. Dawer Institute of Information Science & Technology (Graduated 2018)

Kubernetes is a vendor-agnostic cluster and container management tool, open-sourced by Google in 2014. It provides a “platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts”. Above all, this lowers the cost of cloud computing expenses and simplifies operations and architecture. Kubernetes and the Need for Containers Before we explain what Kubernetes does, we need to explain what containers are and why people are using those. A container is a mini-virtual machine. It is small, as it does not have device drivers and all the other components of a regular virtual machine. Docker is by far the most popular container and it is written in Linux. Microsoft also has added containers to Windows as well, because they have become so popular. The bes(more)

What is Kubernetes used for?Tech Gora·November 3, 2019Lives in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (2019–present)

Despite the little time that Kubernetes has in the market, this tool has become a reference in terms of the management and allocation of service packages (containers) within a cluster. Initially developed by Google, Kubernetes emerged as an open-source alternative to the Borg and Omega systems, being officially launched in 2015. What is Kubernetes? Kubernetes is an open-source tool also designated as an orchestrator, which is used to carry out the distribution and organization of workloads in the form of containers. This, in order to maintain the availability and accessibility of existing resources to customers, as well as stability when carrying out the execution of multiple services simultaneously. Through this action scheme, Kubernetes makes it possible for numerous servers of different typ(more)

Why has Kubernetes grown in popularity?

When Linux containers appeared at the time of LXC, a lot of people in the IT world saw them as something marvelous, they offered a way of packaging software with all their dependencies and running then in any other Linux machine. Much like virtual machines, but without the performance losses. But the truth was that they weren’t widely used, they required some plumbing to make them work, and there were no standard way to distribute the images. Then docker appeared, adding to existing container technologies a workflow for building and sharing images and a common interface to start containers. This came to popularize these technologies, but they weren’t still widely used for production systems, mainly because it was not so advantageus to have just another packaging system for production. And t(more)

How are OpenShift, OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Docker comparable and different?

There is no one way to compare because they are mostly different things. That said, I’ll first try and define the need for each one of these and link them together. Let’s start with the bottom of the stack. You need infrastructure to run your servers. What could you go with? You can use a VPS provider like DigitalOcean, or use AWS. What if, for some non-technical reason, you can’t use AWS? For instance, there is a legal compliance that states that the data I store and servers I run are in the same geography as the customers I serve, and AWS does not have a region for the same? This is where OpenStack comes in. It is a platform to manage your infrastructure. Think of it as an open source implementation of AWS which you can run on bare metal data centers. Next, we move up the stack. We want an(more)

What is Kubernetes and Docker?Vickie Lindsey·February 12, 2019Agile TrainerHi, What is Kubernetes? 

Kubernetes (also known as K8s) is a production-grade container orchestration system. It is an open source cluster management system initially developed by three Google employees during the summer of 2014 and grew exponentially and became the first project to get donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF). It is basically an open source toolkit for building a fault-tolerant, scalable platform designed to automate and centrally manage containerized applications. With Kubernetes you can manage your containerized application more efficiently. Kubernetes is a HUGE project with a lot of code and functionalities. The primary responsibility of Kubernetes is container orchestration. That means making sure that all the containers that execute various workloads are sc(more)

What problem was Kubernetes built to solve?

The basic idea of Kubernetes is to further abstract machines, storage, and networks away from their physical implementation. So it is a single interface to deploy containers to all kinds of clouds, virtual machines, and physical machines. Container Orchestration & Kubernetes Containers are virtual machines. They are lightweight, scalable, and isolated. The containers are linked together for setting security policies, limiting resource utilization, etc. If your application infrastructure is similar to the image shared below, then container orchestration is necessary.

What is the service discovery in Kubernetes?

Kubernetes service discovery find services through two approaches: 1. Using the environment variables that use the same conventions as those created by Docker links. 2. Using DNS to resolve the service names to the service’s IP address. Environment Variables Kubernetes injects environment variables for each service and each port exposed by the service. This makes it easy to deploy containers that use Docker links to find their dependencies. For example, if we are exposing a RabbitMQ service, we can locate it using the RABBITMQ_SERVICE_SERVICE_HOST and RABBIT_MP_SERVICE_SERVICE_PORTvariables. Other environment variables are also exposed to support this. The easiest way to find out what environment variables are exposed are(more)

What are Docker and Kubernetes? What are they used for?

Docker is open source tool has been designed to create applications as small container on any machine. By using docker development , deployment is too easy is for developers . We can say this are very light-weight in size which includes minimal OS and your application . In a way, Docker is a bit like a virtual machine. But unlike a virtual machine, rather than creating a whole virtual operating system, Docker allows applications to use the same Linux kernel as the system that they’re running on and only requires applications be shipped with things not already running on the host computer. This gives a significant performance boost and reduces the size of the application.

It provides a complete system for running different containers across multiple hosts. Kubernetes is based on Google container management system Borg and language used is Go.Basically, Google uses three languages; 1. C/C++ 2. Java 3. Python C and C++ might be little tough for new users. Java is less attractive as compared to Go for Kubernetes because of its heavy runtime download. Python is great but dynamic typing of Python is challenging for system software.

Is the Kubernetes certification worth it?

Yes and no. Especially for Kubernetes (which is not THAT hard, but has a steep learning curve in the beginning), I doubt that there is any certification that can tell you stuff you cannot learn for free. You can set up a Kubernetes cluster on DO for $20/month or even on you laptop to actually try out things. Create a few Helm charts for your pet applications and you have a good working knowledge of Kubernetes. BUT: How can an employer judge your level of knowledge? And this is where certifications get interesting. So basically, you are trading money for an increased chance of employment, all other things equal. Furthermore, at a certain size of projects, customers require their suppliers to have a certain number of people certified in the relevant technologies — so that they can rest assure(more)

The most important thing of all, Kubernetes has an active online community. The members of this community meet-up online as well as in person, in major cities of the world. An international conference “KubeCon” has proved to be a huge success. There is also an official Slack group for Kubernetes. Major cloud providers like Google Cloud Platform, AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, etc also offer their support channels.

What is the relationship between microservices and Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is infrastructure abstraction for container manipulation. In Kubernetes there are many terms that conceptualize the execution environment. A pod is the smallest unit deployable in kubernetes. You can see it as an application that runs one container or multiple that work together. Pods have volumes, memory and networking requirements. Pods have a unique Id and can die at any minute so kubernetes provides a higher hierarchy abstraction called Service. A Service is a logical set of pods that are permanent in the cluster and offer functionality. Pods are accesible through the service names in the network of the cluster. When a pod dies, kubernetes automatically runs a new pod of the service (depending on replica configuration) to keep the service offering functionality. There are man(more)

Our CTO insisted to choose Docker Swarm, instead of Kubernetes, for a container orchestration because Docker Swarm is simpler and easier to learn. How do I convince people and explain to them the benefits of Kubernetes?

Chris Thomas·July 25, 2018Is working to build a Kubernetes environment at Plista

Here is a way you could convince him. Docker is dead. It’s not technically dead, but in reality, it’s a walking zombie. I’ll explain why. AWS is one of the best platforms for infrastructure and there is GCE and Azure, but AWS is the standard, the most capable platform from all the cloud architectures. AWS is integrating Kubernetes into it’s system and you might ask what are the benefits and why would it do that. Kubernetes is basically a competitor to AWS. It allows you to write infrastructure using YAML files and deploy them on a cluster. The only drawback right now is that you cannot provision servers using Kubernetes because it sits at a higher level in the abstraction stack. The servers are below it. However, with EKS (elastic kubernetes service). AWS has integrated all sorts of primativ(more)

If the developer put together a working solution then keep using it, thank them for the effort, and provide some private coaching on how to get buy-in so things go more smoothly in the future. Startups spawn serious problems that don’t end up on the roadmap as they should, and you’re better off with people taking initiative then fixing them. Otherwise the stake holders need to decide on a containerization solution, preferably coming to that conclusion by themselves or at least believing they did. That’s probably Kubernetes (from Google which knows how to build and run things) and docker where you already have one enthusiastic engineer willing to own the project, although they should be able to provide reasonable arguments on why that’s the best option for containerization and deployment.

Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and deploy it as one package. And here comes the race between choosing an orchestration tool : Overview of Kubernetes Kubernetes is based on years of Google’s experience of running workloads at a huge scale in production. As per Kubernetes website, “Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.” Overview of Docker Swarm Docker swarm is Docker’s own container’s orchestration. It uses the standard Docker API and networking, making it easy to drop into(more)

What is the Kubernetes node?Anjali Nair·January 26DevOps enthusiast

A node is the smallest unit of hardware in Kubernetes, also known as a minion. It is a representation of a single machine in the cluster. It is a physical machine in a data center or virtual machine hosted on a cloud provider like Google Cloud Platform. Each node has the services required to run a pod and is managed by the master components in Kubernetes architecture. The services given by a Kubernetes Node include the container runtime(Docker), Kubelet, and Kube-proxy. To know more about Node in Kubernetes, watch this video on Kubernetes Architecture: Hope this helps!(more)

What are some major drawbacks of Docker and Kubernetes?Stuart Charlton·March 23, 2017I help large companies design their container clouds(Disclaimer-

They’re both good technologies with huge opportunities and potential ahead) Docker is overhyped for its relative youth, and is really a moderate set of wrapper capabilities around the Linux kernel. Operational understanding is scarse and conflicting. Requires a lot of deep street knowledge to use effectively in production. Lots of subtle performance and reliability challenges with eg. Networking, storage. Often subtle breaking changes beteeen releases. Installing and operating Kubernetes is not for the faint of heart. Assumes you can “bring your own cluster”. Pace of change and improvement on core k8s is astounding (good and bad). Using Kubernetes is relatively white box, ie. you really need to know what’s going on under the covers to a degree especially if you’re not using GKE.(more)

What are Kubernetes clusters?

Used on GCP and Physical ServersA Kubernetes cluster is a group of ‘machines’ that are either on the same network segment or set up to communicate with each other over the network with low latency, and run Kubernetes software. Kubernetes software runs as a ‘service’ or ‘daemon’ on each machine in the cluster and this causes the host machine to either act as a ‘master’ or a ‘slave’ node within the cluster. During the Kubernetes cluster set up process, the master is created first and toward the end of the install process a connection command is displayed or logged to the system. This should then be run on each additional node once the base Kubernetes software has been installed. Some ‘magic’ then takes place and the new node links up with the master node to form a logical cluster. Commands can then be run on the master node t(more)

Is Kubernetes here to stay?Adam Brown·August 23Studied Computer Science & Machine Learning at University of Reading

I think containers are the model of potential delivery now. We make packaging an application with their required infrastructure much easier. Tools like Docker provide containers, but also software are needed to handle items such as replication, failures and APIs for automating deployment on multiple machines. At the beginning of 2015, the status of clustering platforms such as Kubernetes and Docker Swarm was highly unstable. We tried to use them and began with Docker Swarm. Amid the news in recent weeks, several businesses have purchased container or micro-service firms to boost their portfolio for what lies ahead. What is this a really important topic now ?

What problems does Kubernetes solve?Mourya Venkat·May 22, 2019Senior Software Developer at Goibibo Customer Care Number 8513~089667 Goibibo (2019–present)

Lets forget all about technical stuff, lets discuss this in a way that a non-technical guy understands. * You are owner of a building and you have 5 spots where people can enter your building and you want 5 security guards guarding the spots. All good till now. * * Now consider one of the guard was out of service for 2 hours due to some personal reasons. Now as a building owner its your responsibility to guard or employ another guard replacing the existing. Do you like to be manually interrupted from your task to look after who is out and whom to replace. * * No, no one likes to be. Now the solution could be, go to a third party vendor who provides 24*7 availability of the guards. Its the responsibility of the vendor to make 24*7 availability based on the configuration set(in this case guards guarding(more)

What is the best book to learn Kubernetes?Matthew Palmer·Updated July 20, 2018author of Kubernetes Application Development

While researching for a project, I looked into all of the available books on Kubernetes. Here’s a quick roundup. (Feel free to suggest more!) * Golden Guide to Kubernetes Application Development This book’s for web app developers who just want a short, sharp guide to grok Kubernetes. It’s also really great for people trying to get their CKAD certification. (Disclaimer: I wrote this. Yeah, this is one of those Quora answers… but I hope it’s still useful.) * The Kubernetes Book Probably the most popular and established book on Kubernetes. It’s great for new developers trying to learn Kubernetes. The author is known for his video courses as well. * Kubernetes: Up and Running Definitely written by the most authoritative authors of any book here. Kelsey Hightower is a Google dev advocate for Kubernetes(more)

Can I use Kubernetes without having a Docker registry?John Starmer·July 23, 2019Director of Education at Kumulus Technologies

It is indeed possible to use Kubernetes with out Docker. The Kubernetes community has long recognized the problem with being tied to Docker’s quasi-proprietary (and somewhat arbitrarily developed) container runtime. Early on there was support for an alternative runtime called rkt (pronounced like rocket). However, going down the path of creating separate solutions for any and every new container runtime that might get developed would be a lot of work and a bit like reinventing the wheel for each runtime. To break free of the Docker runtime constraint, the CRI (Container Runtime Interface) that allows you to use other container runtimes (e.g. ContainerD, CRI-O, etc.). The CRI plugin is a shim sits between the Kubernetes kubelet and container runtime and acts as a universal translator. Read more…

How would you explain Kubernetes to a 10-year-old?Jos Buurman·February 19Created and maintained several business critical programs in various languages

I’m not sure how to explain Kubernetes to a 10-year-old. Yet when I’m allowed to expand to older people who are not technology savvy I can come up with an example which might resonate. It will inside my company: I will use the analogy of our call center. My company services some 2 million people, we manage their pensions and the necessary administration. Every year we send out the latest status of the pensions to the participants, and sure enough people will follow up. Many follow up online – the pension fund websites – yet there is a significant number who call or send an e-mail. We measure the amount of outstanding messages, as well as the amount of unanswered calls (I recall the service level is at 80% answered within 10 seconds). These are displayed on monitors so those who work in the(more)

What are some important Kubernetes concepts?Hubert Chen·July 22, 2017System Architect at Branch.io

Assuming a basic understanding of Docker and containers, I’ll describe the Kubernetes specifics. This is from a general user point of view. Kubelet: A process which runs on each node in the cluster. Kubelet talks to the master server and gets a list of containers to run and then runs, manages, and reports container status back to the master server. Pod: The primary unit of Kubernetes scheduling and management. A Pod is list of containers that are always run together on one node. The containers in a pod share an IP address and a network stack, but are otherwise isolated from each other. Container: A Docker container, it has an isolated process space, can expose ports, can define environment variables and a run command. Read more ….

What applications are not suited for Kubernetes?Hubert Chen·July 21, 2017System Architect at Branch.io

Kubernetes has a strong feature set for microservice architectures. Things like service discovery, automatic failover, rescheduling, and support for overlay networks make it the best choice in dynamic environments with many small, frequently changing applications tied together. If your application needs to start hundreds of containers quickly and will terminate them just as quickly, then Kubernetes is a good option. The converse of this is that it is not as well designed for more static, highly efficient workloads. Containerization is great for flexibility, but doesn’t come for free. There is a performance penalty for using it, somewhere between a few to high single digit percentage penalty, depending on the type of operations. Read more ….
