Dockercon 2019 Developing Apps with Containers, Functions and Cloud Services

Cloud native applications are composed of containers, serverless functions and managed cloud services.


What is the best set of tools on your desktop to provide a rapid, iterative development experience and package applications using these three components?


This hand-on talk will explain how you can complement Docker Desktop, with it’s local Docker engine and Kubernetes cluster, with open source tools such as the Virtual Kubelet, Open Service Broker, the Gloo hybrid app gateway, Draft, and others, to build the most productive development inner-loop for these type of applications.


It will also cover how you can use the Cloud Native Application Bundle (CNAB) format and it’s implementation in the Docker app experimental tool to package your application and manage it with container supply chain tooling such as Docker Hub.

14. Functions

15. *Supporting services, like storage and networking, may be charged separately. Pay-per-use Only pay for what you use: billing is typically calculated on the number of function calls, code execution time, and memory used.* Instant, event-driven scalability Application components react to events and triggers in near real-time with virtually unlimited scalability; compute resources are used as needed. Full abstraction of servers Developers can just focus on their code—there are no distractions around server management, capacity planning, or availability. What is serverless?

16. FaaS is at the center of serverless Functions-as-a-Service programming model use functions to achieve true serverless compute Single responsibility Functions are single-purposed, reusable pieces of code that process an input and return a result Short lived Functions don’t stick around when finished executing, freeing up resources for further executions Event driven & scalable Functions respond to predefined events, and are instantly replicated as many times as needed Stateless Functions don’t hold any persistent state and don’t rely on the state of any other processes

17. What is Azure Functions? An event-based, serverless compute experience that accelerates app development Azure Functions = FaaS++ Integrated programming model Use built-in triggers and bindings to define when a function is invoked and to what data it connects Enhanced development experience Code, test and debug locally using your preferred editor or the easy-to-use web based interface including monitoring Hosting options flexibility Choose the deployment model that better fits your business needs without compromising development experience

18. Boost development efficiency Integrate with Azure Application Insights Get near real-time details about function apps See metrics around failures, executions, etc. Monitoring Save time with built-in DevOps Deploy functions using App Service for CI Leverage Microsoft, partner services for CD CI/CD Use triggers to define how functions are invoked Avoid hardcoding with preconfigured JSON files Build serverless APIs using HTTP triggers Triggers Connect to data with input and output bindings Bind to Azure solutions and third-party services Use HTTP bindings in tandem with HTTP triggers Bindings Define one API surface for multiple function apps Create endpoints as reverse proxies to other APIs Condition proxies to use variables Proxies Debug C# and JavaScript functions locally Use debugging tools in Azure portal, VS, and VS Code Local debugging

19. Gain flexibility and develop your way Write code in C#, JavaScript, F#, and Java Continuous investment in new, experimental languages Multiple languages Simplify coding for new users with native Azure portal Select from popular editors, like VS, VS Code, CLI, Maven* Dev options Choose from six consumption plans to run Functions Run your first million function executions for free Hosting options *VS and VS Code only support C#; Maven only supports Java Write stateful functions in a serverless environment Simplify complex, stateful coordination problems Add the extension to enable advanced scenarios Durable Functions
