Getting Deep on Orchestration - APIs, Actors, and Abstractions in Distributed Systems

Dive deep into the architecture of open source orchestration platforms in this 42-minute conference talk from Docker. Explore higher-level abstractions like services and jobs in distributed systems, examining the actors and APIs that form the foundation of orchestration platforms. Analyze scaling challenges, discover extension points, and gain insights from an orchestration platform at Amazon. Learn about common architectures, interfaces, control loops, and the differences between orchestration and scheduling. Investigate networking stress, platform life cycles, and new abstractions. Witness a live demo of a homemade abstraction deployed on a multi-cloud Swarm cluster. Gain valuable knowledge on implementing APIs, running services, and understanding the complexities of orchestration in modern distributed systems.
