In the context of the Cloud Native Applications (CNA) Seed Project we are working on migrating an open source CRM application into to the cloud. After enabling horizontal scalabilty of the original application and moving it onto our OpenStack cloud with the help of CoreOS (etcd, fleet) and docker we’ve now just finished adding the monitoring / logging / log-collection functionality – a blog post describing this process in its detail will follow – which is needed for the next part of the project: enabling automatic scaling. As part of this process we’ve learnt some lessons concerning the process management in docker containers which we’d like to share in this post.

Cloud-Native Applications is a new research initiative which was launched by the ICCLab a couple of months ago. The initial time was used to gather knowledge on this very interesting and broad topic. For a detailed description of the initiative and cloud-native applications in general head to the initiative overview page.
But all the knowledge in the world is not worth much without some actual experience. And therefore as of the beginning of this year we launched the Cloud-Native Applications Seed Project or CNA Seed Project for short. The goal of this project is to take a traditional business application which was not designed to run in the cloud and modify it so that it can be deployed and operated in a cloud-environment.
Martin Blöchlinger is a researcher at the ICCLab.
After an IT apprenticeship and an additional year of programming experience he decided to study at the ZHAW. In summer 2014 he graduated (Bachelor of Science ZFH in Informatics) and a few weeks later started to work at the InIT in the focus area ‘Distributed Software Systems’. He is currently working on a project in the ‘Cloud-Native Applications‘ initiative.
