However, you can deploy a cluster using ARM templates which you can find in the GitHub repo for azure-quickstart-templates. Since this is our first introduction to ACS I will demonstrate how this is done in the portal.
Lets begin by deploying an ACS cluster using Docker Swarm as the orchestrator. Are you starting to see the value of containers now? Installation Its all about Build, Ship, Run, any app, on any stack, anywhere. Yes, microservices have been around for a while but what Docker and containers does is to allow it to be faster, more streamlined, and offers better collaboration across the dev and ops teams. Some will argue that microservices has been around for a long time and debate how containers would help. Based on a state of the app development survey done in early 2016, 80% of respondents felt that Docker would be central to cloud strategy with 3 out of 4 stating their top initiatives would revolve around modernizing legacy apps and moving to a microservices architecture. There are several advantages to moving to containers, such as fast deployment, scalability, portability and avoiding vendor lock-in. Well, thats the good thing about containers, you can do a lift-and-shift of a monolithic app into a container if desired. Maybe they think having a monolithic application excludes them from using containers. Some people may argue that they are not ready to start testing with containers. Simply put, Azure Container Service is a container hosting environment that utilizes open source tools. With all the momentum around containers these days, ACS is a service that will allow you to start testing containers in a matter of minutes. Container Service offers you a choice of using DC/OS or Docker Swarm for scale and orchestration operations. Azure Container Service leverages the Docker container format to ensure that your application containers are fully portable. You can continue to use the tools you are familiar with and use the orchestrator of your choice. With ACS, you select the size, the number of hosts, and choice of orchestrator tools, and Container Service does its magic. But why go through the hassle when you can let the Container Service handle it all while taking advantage of the enterprise features in Azure.

You could surely deploy a set of virtual machines on your own and install the docker engine and create a cluster. Microsoft is taking a bit of the hard work on for you in setting up a cluster to support containers. So what is ACS you ask? ACS is a service in Azure that allows you to create, configure, and manage a cluster of virtual machines that are preconfigured to run containerized applications. ACS went into Genearal Availability back in April of 2016. Today I wanted to talk about Azure Container Service, aka ACS. If you are interested in learning more about this or testing it yourself, you can find the github repo here.
Can you think of ways that this could be useful? I hope this has been enlightening for you. Hopefully this gives you an idea of how powerful Machine Learning can be. Here is the results of an image that I fed into the model. Next, I deployed the MXNet container with ECS that allowed me to perform image classification. Once the stack was complete I built an MXNet docker image and pushed it to the EC2 Container Registry, aka ECR. This is what the deployed environment looks like. Spot fleet is a collection of spot instances. To keep the costs at a minimum the EC2 instances were spot instances deployed by spot fleet. The intent was to deploy a deep learning environment that would perform image recognition.Īt a high level I used a CloudFormation template that set up a VPC, IAM roles, S3 bucket, ECR container registry and an ECS cluster which is comprised of two EC2 instances with the Docker daemon running on each. This just reiterates how containers can really simplify spinning up an environment with very little effort. If you have been following any of my previous posts you should be familiar with docker by now. I found this extremely interesting and thought I would share with you.ĭeep Learning (DL) is an implementation of Machine Learning (ML) that uses neural networks to solve difficult problems such as image recognition, sentiment analysis and recommendations. Neural networks simulate the functions of the brain to detect patterns in data. This allows deep learning algorithms to classify, predict and recommend as more data is trained in the network. The workshop walks you through the deployment of a deep learning library called MXNet on AWS using Docker containers.
I came across a workshop on the awslabs github page that walked you through deploying a Deep Learning Framework on ECS. More specifically, EC2 Container Service, aka ECS. Lately I have been getting more familiar with the various services on AWS.
