powerstrip

We* love kubernetes, and all the other orchestration frameworks, like Mesosphere, fleet, docker swarm, etc. We see flocker, our open-source project for managing data volumes, running beside these orchestrators. In fact, we've just released another open-source tool called powerstrip (https://github.com/ClusterHQ/powerstrip) which makes it possible to write adaptors for the Docker API so that a user can eventually use Flocker with Kubernetes. Regarding how we are different, we focus only on managing persistent volumes, and as a specialist, will be able to do a lot more than something like kubernetes that is managing the entire application. If I had to guess, what you'd see with kubernetes, mesos, docker, etc is that they all support some basic data movement features, but if you want something more customized, like live migration, or true

Hey, Luke here, CTO at ClusterHQ. As well as being proud of this company milestone, I can't wait to get powerstrip (https://github.com/clusterhq/powerstrip) and flocker (https://github.com/clusterhq/flocker) working together so that we can start composing flocker with other docker ecosystem tools. It will be a great day that you can have a docker swarm with flocker and weave. Or kubernetes with flocker and socketplane. Or even mesosphere with rancher and calico ;) We've got some pretty neat demos of powerstrip prototypes up here, fwiw: http://clusterhq.com/blog/powerstrip-prototype-docker-extens... Any questions just shout! Cheers, Luke

Definitely! We have https://github.com/ClusterHQ/powerstrip#additional-adapter-i... and https://github.com/ClusterHQ/powerstrip/issues/8 for ideas... please add more!

I'm involved as an independent collaborator again in Docker's internal extension efforts, and after I saw this I got ClusterHQ looped in to that working group. Then we talked about collaborating on a Go port of Powerstrip, so I'm working on that here: https://github.com/ClusterHQ/powerstrip/tree/golang We're also planning to combine the Docker event stream plugin system I prototyped previously into Powerstrip: https://github.com/progrium/docker-plugins And ultimately, eventually, we'll have native extension support in Docker that allows much more extensibility, but all this is a good first step IMO.
