Abstract

The workshop on Container Technologies and Container Clouds (WoC'21) aims to create a space where researchers and practitioners can share their experiences and advance the container technologies. After six occurrences of the workshops, we are seeing a shift in the type of papers received. In the early occurrences of the workshop, the papers were mainly focused on comparing containers to virtual machines and trying to understand the benefits of the container technologies. Thereafter, we witnessed a change seeing papers targeting the container management systems (Kubernetes, Mesos, Swarm, etc.), and assess their capabilities in managing containers at large scale, and now we see papers targeting the use of containers to host machines learning workloads or using machine learning to better manage large scale systems of microservices deployed in containers. We believe that the container technologies will remain in play for years to come, and we will see more potential use cases and improvements.

Pods-as-Volumes: Effortlessly Integrating Storage Systems and Middleware into Kubernetes

We present Pods-as-Volumes (PaV), a Kubernetes plugin that simplifies the implementation of storage volume provisioners by allowing all logic underlying the lifecycle and behavior of volumes to be specified as pod templates, which are then instantiated ...

Designing a Kubernetes Operator for Machine Learning Applications

Machine Learning workloads such as deep learning and hyperparameter tuning are compute-intensive by nature. Parallel execution is key to reducing the learning time. The Ray Framework is a distributed middleware that provides primitives to seamlessly ...

Tritium: A Cross-layer Analytics System for Enhancing Microservice Rollouts in the Cloud

Microservice architectures are widely used in cloud-native applications as their modularity allows for independent development and deployment of components. With the many complex interactions occurring in between components, it is difficult to determine ...
