## Compose file format version
*Particularly relevant if you have used Compose before...*
- Compose 1.6 introduced support for a new Compose file format (aka "v2")
- Services are no longer at the top level, but under a `services` section
- There has to be a `version` key at the top level, with value `"2"` (as a string, not an integer)
- Containers are placed on a dedicated network, making links unnecessary
- There are other minor differences, but upgrade is easy and straightforward
---
## Links, naming, and service discovery
- Containers can have network aliases (resolvable through DNS)
- Compose file version 2+ makes each container reachable through its service name
- Compose file version 1 did require "links" sections
- Our code can connect to services using their short name
(instead of e.g. IP address or FQDN)
- Network aliases are automatically namespaced
(i.e. you can have multiple apps declaring and using a service named `database`)
---
## Example in `worker/worker.py`
```python
redis = Redis("`redis`")
def get_random_bytes():
r = requests.get("http://`rng`/32")
return r.content
def hash_bytes(data):
r = requests.post("http://`hasher`/",
data=data,
headers={"Content-Type": "application/octet-stream"})
```

## Restarting in the background
- Many flags and commands of Compose are modeled after those of `docker`
.exercise[
- Start the app in the background with the `-d` option:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
- Check that our app is running with the `ps` command:
```bash
docker-compose ps
```
]
`docker-compose ps` also shows the ports exposed by the application.

## Viewing logs
- The `docker-compose logs` command works like `docker logs`
.exercise[
- View all logs since container creation and exit when done:
```bash
docker-compose logs
```
- Stream container logs, starting at the last 10 lines for each container:
```bash
docker-compose logs --tail 10 --follow
```
<!--
```wait units of work done```
```keys ^C```
-->
]
Tip: use `^S` and `^Q` to pause/resume log output.

## Upgrading from Compose 1.6
.warning[The `logs` command has changed between Compose 1.6 and 1.7!]
- Up to 1.6
- `docker-compose logs` is the equivalent of `logs --follow`
- `docker-compose logs` must be restarted if containers are added
- Since 1.7
- `--follow` must be specified explicitly
- new containers are automatically picked up by `docker-compose logs`

## If the graph doesn't load
If you just see a `Page not found` error, it might be because your
Docker Engine is running on a different machine. This can be the case if:
- you are using the Docker Toolbox
- you are using a VM (local or remote) created with Docker Machine
- you are controlling a remote Docker Engine
When you run DockerCoins in development mode, the web UI static files
are mapped to the container using a volume. Alas, volumes can only
work on a local environment, or when using Docker4Mac or Docker4Windows.
How to fix this?
Edit `dockercoins.yml` and comment out the `volumes` section, and try again.

## Why does the speed seem irregular?
- It *looks like* the speed is approximately 4 hashes/second
- Or more precisely: 4 hashes/second, with regular dips down to zero
- Why?
--
class: extra-details
- The app actually has a constant, steady speed: 3.33 hashes/second
<br/>
(which corresponds to 1 hash every 0.3 seconds, for *reasons*)
- Yes, and?
---
class: extra-details
## The reason why this graph is *not awesome*
- The worker doesn't update the counter after every loop, but up to once per second
- The speed is computed by the browser, checking the counter about once per second
- Between two consecutive updates, the counter will increase either by 4, or by 0
- The perceived speed will therefore be 4 - 4 - 4 - 0 - 4 - 4 - 0 etc.
- What can we conclude from this?

## Scaling up the application
- Our goal is to make that performance graph go up (without changing a line of code!)
--
- Before trying to scale the application, we'll figure out if we need more resources
(CPU, RAM...)
- For that, we will use good old UNIX tools on our Docker node
---
## Looking at resource usage
- Let's look at CPU, memory, and I/O usage
.exercise[
- run `top` to see CPU and memory usage (you should see idle cycles)
<!--
```bash top```
```wait Tasks```
```keys ^C```
-->
- run `vmstat 1` to see I/O usage (si/so/bi/bo)
<br/>(the 4 numbers should be almost zero, except `bo` for logging)
<!--
```bash vmstat 1```
```wait memory```
```keys ^C```
-->
]
We have available resources.
- Why?
- How can we use them?
---
## Scaling workers on a single node
- Docker Compose supports scaling
- Let's scale `worker` and see what happens!
.exercise[
- Start one more `worker` container:
```bash
docker-compose scale worker=2
```
- Look at the performance graph (it should show a x2 improvement)
- Look at the aggregated logs of our containers (`worker_2` should show up)
- Look at the impact on CPU load with e.g. top (it should be negligible)
]
---
## Adding more workers
- Great, let's add more workers and call it a day, then!
.exercise[
- Start eight more `worker` containers:
```bash
docker-compose scale worker=10
```
- Look at the performance graph: does it show a x10 improvement?
- Look at the aggregated logs of our containers
- Look at the impact on CPU load and memory usage
]
---
# Identifying bottlenecks
- You should have seen a 3x speed bump (not 10x)
- Adding workers didn't result in linear improvement
- *Something else* is slowing us down
--
- ... But what?
--
- The code doesn't have instrumentation
- Let's use state-of-the-art HTTP performance analysis!
<br/>(i.e. good old tools like `ab`, `httping`...)
---
## Accessing internal services
- `rng` and `hasher` are exposed on ports 8001 and 8002
- This is declared in the Compose file:
```yaml
...
rng:
build: rng
ports:
- "8001:80"
hasher:
build: hasher
ports:
- "8002:80"
...
```
---
## Measuring latency under load
We will use `httping`.
.exercise[
- Check the latency of `rng`:
```bash
httping -c 3 localhost:8001
```
- Check the latency of `hasher`:
```bash
httping -c 3 localhost:8002
```
]
`rng` has a much higher latency than `hasher`.
---
## Let's draw hasty conclusions
- The bottleneck seems to be `rng`
- *What if* we don't have enough entropy and can't generate enough random numbers?
- We need to scale out the `rng` service on multiple machines!
Note: this is a fiction! We have enough entropy. But we need a pretext to scale out.
(In fact, the code of `rng` uses `/dev/urandom`, which never runs out of entropy...
<br/>
...and is [just as good as `/dev/random`](http://www.slideshare.net/PacSecJP/filippo-plain-simple-reality-of-entropy).)
