How does container orchestration work?

Each platform has its own methodologies and strategies for container management. But all of them enable us to control the container operations, group them into clusters and manage the process of application run. With container orchestration tools like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm or AWS ECS we can simplify the workflows and create complex architectures from docker containers, by using the abstractions each orchestration tool gives us.

Why do containers need management?

It is always hard to handle a vast number of containers for IT teams and use the resources wisely. When containers are being created and used without any management ( or only with manual intervention) you cannot rely on such fragile infrastructures. Lots of manual steps, lack of proper environment variables, difference in versions between related application components - all of this exists in the daily Ops in lots of companies - because lack of proper containers control. Container management by Alpacked is the best way to ensure your applications operate efficiently and securely even under the workloads.

Where do containers better to run?

Containerization technologies like docker did exist before (lxc, openvz, etc) but they didn't have so much success compare to Docker. The main reason why Docker became so popular is it's simplicity and ease to setup on Linux, Mac and Windows machines. Moreover Docker now is the main handler of the OCI which means that it added so much-needed standardization to the containers. It is easy to setup it on any kind of machine, but it's more recommended to use Linux.

About container orchestration

Last several years we have been watching software world significantly changing. Docker containers took over local development and de facto became a standard. Refusal to use heavy applications and switch towards agile containerized application delivery enables businesses to adopt the best DevOps practices.

Thus, you get the shortened development lifecycles, optimal cloud resource usage and the applications running in containers operate as fast as never. Besides, operations team release new versions between dev-staging-production steps easily and with less efforts

Сontainers benefits

Descent software and application delivery cannot exist efficiently without containers. Key benefits of container orchestration:

Isolation

Your applications and resources are isolated and segregated. No more garbage collection after app removal

Cost efficiency

No more idle environments. Docker container orchestration tools fully utilize each free RAM and CPU unit. You only play for what you use

Versioning

CI/CD process with Docker containers enables environment versioning. It has never been easier to rollback to the previous version of DB or webserver

Simplicity

Single-process-per-container strategy. Self-descriptive environment. Docker is IaC by default

Environmental Independence

Docker produces the same outcome regardless of the environment - Windows, Linux, Cloud, On-Prem, FPGA - it doesn't matter anymore. No more "It works on my machine"

Security

Namespace and Network segregation. Processes running inside of containers are completely isolated

More about container orchestration

Despite every business case is unique, we provide container management services to make your container adoption and further functioning easier and more comfortable.

It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community - kubernetes.io

Alpacked professional DevOps team provides containerization services for the clients from startup to enterprise. We work with different types of environments - cloud, multi-cloud, on premis and platforms for container orchestration.

Our DevOps engineers distinguish 3 main reasons to use container orchestration when designing or modernization of IT infrastructure:

Containerized apps are more resource-efficient, as containers deliver 300% more productivity, as compared to using virtual machines to run the same number of app instances.Splitting the app into microservices running in separate Docker containers ensures security, scalability and ease of monitoring for your production environments.Containers simplify load balancing, as various microservices can scale independently depending on workload, ensuring optimal spending of your budget on cloud-based IT operationsTo ensure the best container experience, we provide a great arrange of services for you:

Container Orchestration in the Cloud.

We will guide you through the evaluation of the current cloud solutions and help you find the one that fits you best. Whether you need a simple design and a quick launch or a long-term and high-load project that requires all the best Kubernetes features - we will make your business benefit from containerization.

Container Orchestration on Prem.

In some cases like Healthcare or Government it might be required to host application on-premises instead of using cloud. Even though it limits Kubernetes or Docker Swarm capabilities, our specialists will do their best to ensure your infrastructure is robust and reliable and you meet security standards.

Security is one of the most important features Containerization provides.

We help you to adopt principles of processes and responsibility isolation, continuous security updates and RBAC configuration for your Container Orchestration tool.

Audit, Consulting and Optimization.

Do you use docker but still experience downtimes, long deployments or your images are measured in Gigabytes? You are close to the and we will help you to do the last step towards the full Containerization adoption

Containerization & Migration.

Containerization is the first step towards the migration into the Container-Orchestrated environment and alike a house foundation it is extremely important to do it well from the very beginning.
