Software container technologies like open source Docker and Kubernetes orchestrator can make your IT team’s job faster and easie.
Repetitive and complex tasks, such as software installations, can be made simpler and faster through the use of containers and the Kubernetes orchestrator, both in traditional data centers and where the cloud is used.
This is demonstrated by the efficiency levels of the modern infrastructures of many large companies and IT providers, where standardization and automation of processes allow teams to quickly meet the new demands for digital services that accompany business initiatives.
Containers are software structures and allow you to accommodate application code. The applications, their libraries, configurations are collected together and managed independently from the execution environment.
This allows faster and safer deployments (there is no need to adopt different procedures for each application or system) and transparency on the status of services and the use of resources. Different technologies can be used to containerize the software, including Docker: an open source architecture born with Linux and advantageous compared to the use of virtual machines because it operates on the system’s kernel, with less waste of resources.
With containers it becomes possible to automate new installations and the movement of workloads between on-premise servers and different cloud services, to meet the contingent needs of continuity, scalability or containment of operating costs.
This is where the Kubernetes orchestrator comes into play, a tool designed to automate management, to treat sets of containers that host functionally dependent business applications as individual instances, to facilitate the creation and movement of services as well as entire data centers.
Containers and Kubernetes are important building blocks for the software-defined and cloud-ready evolution of modern data centers. An evolution that BinHexS can accelerate with consulting services and both specific for the modernization of corporate data centers and to make the most of cloud resources.
Added to this are the capabilities of BinHexS in managing networks and security with continuous 24×7 support.
