     1  # Development Report for Mar 17, 2017
     2  
     3  ## Testing Plan
     4  
     5  Thanks to @gianarb for starting the discussion around a test and CI plan for containerd.  We want to make sure that users of containerd can feel secure depending on containerd; having a solid test plan is a must.
     6  
     7  Testing a project like containerd is always a challenge because of the systems that it needs to support. ARM, Windows, Linux, and Power (as well as many more variations) are all examples of platforms that we support today and will need a CI.
     8  
     9  You can view the issue and contribute to the testing plan [here](https://github.com/containerd/containerd/issues/634).
    10  
    11  ## Windows Runtime
    12  
    13  Work has started on porting over the Windows execution code.  There is still a lot of testing to do after the port but a PR should be coming soon.
    14  
    15  ## Metrics
    16  
    17  We started the work to get container level metrics exported over prometheus.  You can see the initial output here:

    97  ```
    98  
    99  The `id` label will be the id of the container so users can filter on the metrics for only the containers that they care about.
   100  
   101  The frequency of metric collection is configurable via the prometheus scrape time.  Every time the `/metrics` API is hit, that is when container metrics are collected.  There is no internal timer in containerd, you only pay the cost of collecting metrics when you are asking for them.  If you never ask for metrics the collection never happens.
   102  
   103  There should be a PR up soon so that we can discuss the metrics and label names.
   104  
   105  ## Image Pull
   106  
   107  * https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/640
   108  
   109  We now have a proof of concept of end to end pull.  Up to this point, the
   110  relationship between subsystems has been somewhat theoretical. We now leverage
   111  fetching, the snapshot drivers, the rootfs service, image metadata and the
   112  execution service, validating the proposed model for containerd.  There are a
   113  few caveats, including the need to move some of the access into GRPC services,
   114  but the basic components are there.
   115  
   116  The first command we will cover here is `dist pull`. This is the analog of
   117  `docker pull` and `git pull`. It performs a full resource fetch for an image
   118  and unpacks the root filesystem into the snapshot drivers. An example follows:
   119  
   120  ``` console
   121  $ sudo ./bin/dist pull docker.io/library/redis:latest
   122  docker.io/library/redis:latest:                                                   resolved       |++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++|

   132  elapsed: 1.6 s                                                                    total:   0.0 B (0.0 B/s)
   133  INFO[0001] unpacking rootfs
   134  ```
   135  
   136  Note that we haven't integrated rootfs unpacking into the status output, but we
   137  pretty much have what is in docker today (:P). We can see the result of our
   138  pull with the following:
   139  
   140  ```console
   141  $ sudo ./bin/dist images
   142  REF                            TYPE                                                 DIGEST                                                                  SIZE
   143  docker.io/library/redis:latest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json sha256:4c8fb09e8d634ab823b1c125e64f0e1ceaf216025aa38283ea1b42997f1e8059 1.8 kB
   144  ```
   145  
   146  The above shows that we have an image called "docker.io/library/redis:latest"
   147  mapped to the given digest marked with a specific format. We get the size of
   148  the manifest right now, not the full image, but we can add more as we need it.
   149  For the most part, this is all that is needed, but a few tweaks to the model
   150  for naming may need to be added. Specifically, we may want to index under a few
   151  different names, including those qualified by hash or matched by tag versions.
   152  We can do more work in this area as we develop the metadata store.
   153  
   154  The name shown above can then be used to run the actual container image. We can
   155  do this with the following command:
   156  
   157  ```console
   158  $ sudo ./bin/ctr run --id foo docker.io/library/redis:latest /usr/local/bin/redis-server
   159  1:C 17 Mar 17:20:25.316 # Warning: no config file specified, using the default config. In order to specify a config file use /usr/local/bin/redis-server /path/to/redis.conf
   160  1:M 17 Mar 17:20:25.317 * Increased maximum number of open files to 10032 (it was originally set to 1024).

   185  
   186  Wow! So, now we are running `redis`!
   187  
   188  There are still a few things to work out. Notice that we have to specify the
   189  command as part of the arguments to `ctr run`. This is because are not yet
   190  reading the image config and converting it to an OCI runtime config. With the
   191  base laid in this PR, adding such functionality should be straightforward.
   192  
   193  While this is a _little_ messy, this is great progress. It should be easy
   194  sailing from here.
