Containerization

Did you ever think that you could deliver applications in no time, with high reliability, consistency, efficiency and minimum resources, all irrespective of your deployment environment? Then you should witness the power of 'Containerization'!

Why Containerization?

In today's software environment, where majority tasks are running on the cloud and in a DevOps culture, application delivery needs a special attention to keep the business running. In the process of streamlining infrastructure, Cloud and Virtualization are a means of enhancing server efficiencies and maximizing server resources.

Further, in line with the application-centric business transformation, running apps at a faster rate, smoothly and secured, has emerged to become a key point of focus. Eventually, firms began their migration journey to better perform with higher efficiency and competitive operating costs.

That's where the containerization technology made the difference! Some call it 'a replacement to virtualization' while others say it's 'an advancement to the concept of 'Virtual Machines (VM)'. Containerization arrived as a sophisticated approach for the effective utilization of server efficiencies with minimum additional resources.

Containerization Benefits

Containers allow developers to create consistent and recreatable environments that are isolated from each other and can include:

Minimum Resources

Run multiple containers in minimum space unlike virtualization that might consume gigabytes.

Optimized Efficiency

Only a single OS is used for multiple containers, thus helping to run more containers on a host.

More Applications

Elimination of OS layer and applications' access to Kernel OS make containers smaller in size, thus offering scope to run more applications.

Faster than VM

Containerized apps run on OS kernel that is already booted up and require no fresh boot every time like in individual OS in VM. This saves a lot of time and space.

Productivity

Application containerization naturally accelerates the process by dividing the bulk apps into individual components. Each of these components can further be divided into multiple containers as microservices, making it easier for developers to upgrade individual services.

Consistency and Flexibility

Consistency & Flexibility

Run applications successfully, irrespective of platform and configurations. Containers work its way in line with the local environment, in testing or production.

Version Control

Enjoy the flexibility of tracking versions of your application code and related dependencies. Perform maintain, track, differentiate and roll-back functions among versions with ease.

Containerization in Cloud and DevOps

As the trends show, containerization holds a strong influence on Cloud Computing and DevOps trends. With its advanced solution for boosting infrastructure efficiency, Containerization-as-Service is already leaving its mark in the cloud's as-a-service models.

Public cloud containers are already making some significant impact in addressing the needs of Dev and Ops teams, thus also adding to the successful functioning of DevOps culture.

Meanwhile, increasing DevOps adoption is pushing many firms to look at 'Microservices architecture' for the next level of optimization in software releases and quality enhancement. It has to be noteworthy that container applications have already emerged as the best choice to run microservices application architecture. Containers are already reporting a high success rate in migrating workloads to AWS and Azure!

Moreover, Container Orchestration is a proven methodology in applying containers at the enterprise level, especially for load balancing, scheduling, and other tasks. A perfect container strategy, with proper tools, framework and proper implementation across application and software development lifecycle is known to offer high agility, shorten productivity time.
