Component | Why You Need It | What Does it Do | Driving Cloud Concept | BonsaiFramework Pick | Popular Options | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Monitoring | ||||||
Health Check | ||||||
DOS and DDOS Mitigation | There is some argument that going true cloud no longer requires this. I'm not convinced. | Akamai |
| |||
Customer Caching | Take load off of your system. | Akamai |
| |||
Orchestration of Containers | Unified view and control of containers. |
| ||||
Software Defined Network | ||||||
Virtualization Cloud Provider | No point in running the hardware and base OS yourself. Instead use a provider that will take care of auto-scaling hardware, providing IP addresses, storage and a network infrastructure. Bonus points for instituted caching and monitoring. ++ Bonus points for an proven CICD system. Some of the Bonus items you can implement yourself and are documented higher in this stack. |
| ||||
Environment Configurator | If you have lots of integration points, centralizing one place to configure those small differences suddenly becomes cost effective. | Remove infrastructure dependency. | ||||
Continous Testing | ||||||
Continuous Deployment | When build completes auto deploy and hook up. | |||||
Continuous Build | Building Application Virtualization from Recipes. Think entire ecosystem (not just code) is built from recipes. |
| ||||
Source Control for Container Receipt | I currently have a gap here of how this would work. | |||||
Source Control for Code |
| |||||
Packer | ||||||
External Log Aggregation | Remove infrastructure dependency. | |||||
Caching System | ||||||
Messaging System | Guarantee delivery and integrity of key transactions across systems. | Depends on your specific messaging needs. Will break this up later. |
| |||
Application Virtualization | Microservices concept of running ephemeral containers at the focusing on escapulating a single immutable application. |
| Docker |
| ||
Building Operating Virtualization from Recipe |
| |||||
Optimized Operating System for Containers | Lightweight transactionally updated operating system. |
| ||||
Operating Virtualization | I would put this to a specific use case and it can greatly reduce costs (explain here). | LXD (LXC) | ||||
Vagrant |
