Docker in GCE

Docker專案在GCE上也積極的在發展，可以參考 https://docs.docker.com/installation/google/

透過Google Cloud啟動Docker的Playground Server，可以快速的體驗Docker的功能喲～

首先看看Docker Project提供的Image

$ gcutil --project=google-containers listimages

我們使用最新的Docker Playground來啟動Docker:

gcloud compute instances create docker-playground \

 --image container-vm-v20140826 \

 --image-project google-containers \

 --zone asia-east1-b \

 --machine-type f1-micro

Docker Playground啟動後，我們可以透過gcutil登入Playground Server

然後測試一下Docker的一些指令

$ sudo docker ps

root@docker-playground:~# sudo docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                     COMMAND                CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES
3f6b1401fa77        google/cadvisor:latest    "/usr/bin/cadvisor -   7 hours ago         Up 7 hours                                   k8s--cadvisor.1207d44b--cadvisor_-_agent.file--3b3d0248
e73ad4103606        kubernetes/pause:latest   "/pause"               7 hours ago         Up 7 hours          0.0.0.0:4194->8080/tcp   k8s--net.46426d55--cadvisor_-_agent.file--9d94c203

在主機內，Google已經啟動了兩個Container，其中有一個是Google最近積極發展的kubernates

他啟動在8080 port，並對應到主機的4194 port

透過GCE firewall設定打開者個port對外

連線看看：

看起來kubernate與cAdvisor有某個程度的相連，這個界面看起來是為主機的運作狀態，透過這個界面，可以了解Container運作環境的負載狀況...

運行Docker時候，當然在意Performance議題，如果可以用Container替代Production環境，這樣Legacy OS的運作就再也不是夢了！

先在完全不調整環境的狀況下，我們安裝node.js，並運行express基本產出的專案試試：

在運作於GCE的Container上壓測:

下面是直接在GCE上壓測

可以看到效能部分滿逼近裸機(Bare metal)的效能

看來Docker的未來看好喔！
