Dr. Max noted that Cloud Foundry isn&#8217;t going to try to solve every problem, and that perhaps Kubernetes \u201cis trying to solve too many problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real problem,&#8221; according to IBM&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/julian-friedman-67a27b6\/\" target=\"_blank\">Julian Friedman<\/a> (aka Dr. Julz), &#8220;is not about running those things, but rather it&#8217;s (communicating) to people running things outside the platform about how they can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A long discussion ensued about how adding containers, and the use of Kubernetes, can increase the density of a deployment, and the implications of doing so. Discussing a unified way to handle the inherent complexity, Dr. Julz said, \u201cthe only possible unified way is with BOSH.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Cloud Foundry developers have designed (deployments) based around BOSH to make it simple to keep a highly available system. There are restrictions, of course. But (when) you put Kubernetes underneath, it you&#8217;re not going to get much.\u201d \u2014Julian Friedman, IBM<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That said, Dr. Julz also noted that \u201ceven though right now we&#8217;re using BOSH, the community could decide on using something different in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And so it went, with contributions from all sitting at the table. In a follow-up note, Dr. Max said that he sees both Cloud Foundry&#8217;s Diego container management system and Kubernetes as \u201cproviders of container farms,&#8221; with containers as \u201ccattle\u201d that can be used as needed. (His reference is to the popular \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/cloudscaling.com\/blog\/cloud-computing\/the-history-of-pets-vs-cattle\/\" target=\"_blank\">pets versus cattle<\/a>\u201d analogy of how to treat computing instances and resources in this age of cloud computing.)<\/p>\n<p>In Dr. Max&#8217;s view, \u201corchestration of these containers is the main duty of Diego and Kubernetes. As such, in my opinion, anything built on top should allow usage any of the farms. So, a pluggable orchestrator provider interface and pluggable implementations\/variations would be used as needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the CF Foundation has released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudfoundry.org\/container-report-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\">container report 2017<\/a>. The paper&#8217;s overview states that \u201cwe see the same steady growth in interest, but actual adoption of containers has still failed to take off. Most companies\u2019 container adoption remains in the early or limited stages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_does_this_all_mean\"><\/span>So, what does this all mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>My high-level take from this long, wondrous discussion is as follows. There are two worldviews: one from the app developer side and one from the operations side. This can lead to different perspectives as to what Cloud Foundry ought to be able to do, and how easily it should be able to do it. However, the respective roles of both Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes are not clear, and need to be sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an argument to be made over creating a dense, unified stack of sorts with Cloud Foundry as the platform versus a more loosely organized group of Cloud Foundry\/Kubernetes\/containers that are deployed and managed in different ways, depending on the enterprise&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>There were still some other points made during the discussion. So, Cloud Foundry has a responsibility to talk to external things, and optimizations can be found in how to do this. However, when Kubernetes enters the picture, the health and welfare of Cloud Foundry is restricted by the health of Kubernetes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Secured_service_credentials_and_a_new_service_discovery\"><\/span>Secured service credentials and a new service discovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At the call, there were two proposals mentioned: the one that introduces a secure workflow for service credentials, and the other suggesting a brand new service discovery for the container-to-container networking.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11689\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dieu-Cao.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Dieu-Cao.jpg\" alt=\"Dieu Cao\" width=\"150\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11689\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11689\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><small>Dieu Cao<\/small><\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/dieucao\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dieu Cao<\/a> of Pivotal presented <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1Sp7gNqyOyJgsaMUIGde6BCvSiqwvSQQK9PNdZycIBnM\/edit\" target=\"_blank\">a proposal<\/a> for securing service instance credentials.

According to the proposal, app developers who want to make use of the container-to-container networking, are now required to bring their own service discovery. The community has furnished all those interested with Eureka- and Amalgam8-based examples. However, the feedback revealed that usage of the container-to-container networking is very difficult, with some common issues emerging:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\">Polyglot microservices written in other languages\/frameworks but Java\/Spring cannot easily use Eureka.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 6px;\">Clustering applications have a requirement to address individual instances.<\/li>\n<li>Additional VMs need to be deployed and managed to provide an external service discovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, in order to support all types of apps, languages, and frameworks, the community plans to build service discovery for the container-to-container networking into the platform. With this feature, there will be no need to bring service discovery of one&#8217;s own.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/cloud-foundry-summit-europe-2017-cab-call-polyglot-service-discovery-for-container-networking.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.altoros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/cloud-foundry-summit-europe-2017-cab-call-polyglot-service-discovery-for-container-networking.png\" alt=\"cloud-foundry-summit-europe-2017-cab-call-polyglot-service-discovery-for-container-networking\" width=\"623\" height=\"585\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28545\" \/><\/a><small>A proposed design of the polyglot service discovery (<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1Kix6QzXn8Q2Rbgdl97S4E6xsHUTSfKUQJKrBv7JzAVc\/edit\" target=\"_blank\">Source<\/a>)<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_developments_this_month\"><\/span>Other developments this month<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The CAB call came amidst a recent flurry of activity within the Cloud Foundry community.
