What was HybridCluster?

• Full stack LAMP platform

• FreeBSD Chroot containers

• ZFS

• Auto scaling

• Failover

• “AwesomeProxy”

Docker

• Containers!

• Application level containerisation

• Data in “volumes”

• Lack of data portability

Docker containers are portable

Introduction to Flocker

• Open source volume manager

• Resilient

• Continuous replication

Migration

• Container stops

• Volumes (ZFS dataset) is sent

• Routes altered

• Container re-started on new host

0.2

• Incremental send
