Attendees

Agenda

• Discuss solutions for docker-in-docker without requiring the docker daemon.
  • Kaniko builds docker images docker images from a Dockerfile on a Kubernetes cluster without requiring access to docker daemon.
  • Buildah from RedHat does something similar.
  • CBI provides a vendor-neutral interface for building (and pushing) container images on top of a Kubernetes cluster.
    • Supports backends Docker, BuildKit, Buildah, kaniko, img, Google Cloud Container Builder, Azure Container Registry Build and OpenShift Source-to-Image (S2I)
  • Knative is a set of components that enables modern CI/CD workflows that are native to kubernetes.
    • Consists of the "build", "serving", and "eventing" components. The "build" component is similar to CBI and supports Kaniko and several others that aren't really relevant to HL projects.

Minutes

• Artyom Kubernetes only supports Linux and x86.
  • How would we support builds for other architectures and other OSes like Mac OS?
  • Cross-compilation doesn't go well.
• Matt Sykes
  • Virtual machine based kublet vs container-based kublet.
  • Fabric pipeline expects to have the full docker stack and runs docker-compose.
  • Initiative to restructure a lot of the Fabric pipeline.
  • Test services such as ordering service uses docker-compose to run a network and orderer to run tests.
