Rootconf 2016

• Highlight shortcomings of the current way to ship containers
• Thinking about a standard way to ship containers
• Introduce Nulecule, a spec to package multi container applications
• Introduce atomicapp, a reference implementation of Nulecule spec
• Demo atomicapp to deploy multi container applications on different providers like: openshift, kubernetes, marathon, etc

Outline

Currently there is no standard mechanism for creating, distributing and deploying applications on containers. Applications that need orchestration for multiple containers and hosts require hand-crafted customization that is difficult to replicate and manage, not to mention time-consuming. Nulecule is a specification for defining the packaged contents, including metadata, dependencies and orchestration providers, of container-based applications. Atomic App is the reference implementation of Nulecule that provides an easy method for packaging, distributing and running applications.
