Kubernetes is an open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts, providing container-centric infrastructure.

The slides cover some examples of multi container apps on top of a 3-node raspberry pi cluster.

Consul is s a tool for discovering and configuring services in our infrastructure. Key Features: Service Discovery, Health Checking, Key/Value Store, Multi Datacenter.

An experiment building 3-nodes Raspberry Pi cluster with Docker Swarm.

Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual Docker host. Docker Machine is a tool for provisioning and managing your Dockerized hosts (hosts with Docker Engine on them). Typically, you install Docker Machine on your local system. Docker Machine has its own command line client docker-machine and the Docker Engine client, docker.

HypriotOS is a minimal Debian-based operating systems that is optimized to run Docker on Raspberry Pi (ARM boards).

(Docker) Containers have similar resource isolation and allocation benefits as virtual machines but a different architectural approach allows them to be much more portable and efficient.

OpenStack is a cloud operating system that controls large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter, all managed through the OpenStack API or via a dashboard that gives administrators control while empowering their users to provision resources through a web interface.

Raspberry Pi is a low cost, credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore computing, and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python…

SDN is merely set of abstractions for control plane: Not a specific set of mechanisms; OpenFlow is only an implementation of the SBI in SDN concept. SDN involves computing a function, NOS handles distribution of state. SDN involves computing a function on an abstract network, services can ignore actual physical infrastructure. Network virtualization is the 'killer app' for SDN.

ESP8266 is a low-cost, low-power, highly-integrated Wi-Fi solution from Espressif Systems. ESP8266EX integrates a 32-bit microcontroller unit (MCU), which features extra-low power consumption. ESP8266EX provides enough processing power for applications while maintaining the Real Time Operation System (RTOS) and a functional Wi-Fi (TCP/IP) stack.

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for anyone making interactive projects. Arduino senses the environment by receiving inputs from many sensors, and affects its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. You can tell your Arduino what to do by writing code in the Arduino programming language and using the Arduino development environment. Several Arduino-Board variants exist e.g.: UNO, NANO, MEGA, DUE, YUN, etc.
