Container Orchestration Services
Deliver Applications at High-SpeedDid you ever feel that you could deliver applications in no time, with high reliability, consistency, efficiency, and lowest resources, all regardless of your deployment environment?
Then you should see the power of 'Containerization'!
Why Containerization?
In a modern software environment, where most of the tasks are running on the cloud and in a DevOps culture, application delivery needs special attention to keep the business operating.
In streamlining infrastructure approach, the Cloud and the Virtualization are a means of improving server efficiencies and maximizing server resources.
Further, based on the application-related business transformation, running apps at an accelerating pace, smoothly and secured, has seemed to become a fundamental point of focus. Ultimately, firms started their migration journey to sufficiently complete with increased efficiency and competitive operating costs.
That is where the containerization technology created the difference! Some call it a substitute to virtualization, while others state it as an advancement to the concept of Virtual Machines (VM).
Containerization arrived as an advanced approach for the adequate usage of server efficiencies with minimum extra resources.
Containerization vs. Virtualization
The fundamental concept of both Containerization and Virtualization is discovering a replacement to traditional infrastructure design to implement processes with more flexibility, swiftness and efficiency, and lowest resources.
Virtualization, a well-established approach, delivers solutions by allowing apps to run on VMs independently with their owned Operating Systems (OS) on top of the server OS.
Virtual servers verified success in running multiple applications concurrently, with an improved app-to-machine ratio as a solution to server consolidation and sufficient resource utilization.
Virtualization held the need for the whole server for a single application by reserving virtual servers for all individual apps. As a step further, Containerization suggests a solution to OS consolidation.
Containerization applied to OS, the exact principle that virtualization accomplished to servers and eliminated the need for a whole OS for separate applications. Instead, have individual apps with reliable environments that support them running by themselves, regardless of the other and without the need for VM.
The Secret of Containerization!
The core functioning of Containerization goes around the concept of OS virtualization.
Upon the virtualization of OS, the containerization process commonly creates a range for allocating applications across a single host without needing virtual servers.
Then how does the application interact with OS?
The kernel is said to be the core of the operating system. Containerization interacts by permitting applications access to a single OS Kernel that runs all the applications in a single machine.
Unlike virtualized environment that involves OS replication every single time generates overhead, Containerization terminates the OS layer entirely and shares the Kernel access to the host machine, even the containerized applications running on it.
Containerization operated as a lightweight alternative to Virtual Machines (VM), encapsulating apps within a container with reliable operating environments, associated dependencies, configuration files, and libraries, i.e., specified as Application Containerization.
With such functionality, Containerization Services create your applications:
- Distributed
- Portable
- Independent
- Run-on single server
- Deliver faster than on VM
