Container orchestration

With tools such as Docker and Kubernetes as powerful tools for optimizing your IT infrastructure

Today's software landscape is fundamentally different from that of previous years. With growing complexity and increasing dynamism, traditional IT approaches are reaching their limits. Digital transformation, distributed systems, and accelerated innovation cycles are presenting companies with completely new challenges.

Whereas monolithic applications and static infrastructures used to dominate, today agility, scalability, and flexibility are in demand. This development brings with it key challenges that are crucial to the success of modern companies.

Typical challenges our customers face

Infrastructure complexity

Containerorchestrierung_Herausforderungen_1

Companies need to keep different development, testing, and production environments consistent. Manual configuration processes increase the risk of errors and delay software deployment.

Management of microservices

Containerorchestrierung_Herausforderungen_2

With the growing use of microservices, managing dependencies and interactions is becoming more complex. This makes troubleshooting and maintaining system stability more challenging.

Cloud migration

Containerorchestrierung_Herausforderungen_3

Moving applications within or between cloud environments involves high costs, technical hurdles, and risks such as vendor lock-in.

DevOps coordination

Containerorchestrierung_Herausforderungen_4

A lack of coordination between development and operations teams—as well as a lack of automation — slows down innovation cycles and software delivery.

Legacy systems

Outdated systems slow down innovation due to high maintenance costs, security gaps, and lack of compatibility with modern technologies. Modernization is often unavoidable.

How can container orchestration help?

Container orchestration simplifies the management of complex IT systems by automating the deployment, scaling, and management of applications. Manual configurations and tedious updates are replaced by automated, flexible processes. Tools such as Kubernetes and Docker enable companies to operate their digital infrastructure dynamically and reliably.

This allows products to be brought to market faster, resources to be used more efficiently, and competitiveness to be increased in the long term. Container orchestration is therefore an important building block for business success in the digital transformation.

How can I implement container orchestration?

Main advantages of Container orchestration

Speed

Unlike virtual machines, containers start up in a matter of seconds because they do not need to boot a complete operating system.

DevOps

Their speed, small footprint, and resource efficiency make containers ideal for use in automated development environments and enable optimization of the CI/CD pipeline.

Availability

Since containers bundle applications and their dependencies, they behave identically on different platforms and can be deployed flexibly.

Scalability

Containers can be scaled flexibly and efficiently due to their low resource consumption.

Consistency

Containers ensure that applications always run in the same environment, regardless of the infrastructure on which they are deployed.

Q&A

What is referred to as a container in IT?

After virtual machines (VMs) were initially a big leap in the further development of processes, containers now represent the next paradigm shift. Containers make it possible to separate applications from their runtime environment. They do not require their own operating system, but use the system on which they are installed.

Virtualization thus takes place without a hypervisor. Several containers isolated from each other can be operated within one operating system installation. Containers contain both the required operating system components and applications. Individually executable, independent microservices are made available in the containers. Each individual service can be set up, implemented, scaled and renewed separately.

Why should containers be used more often?

Containers can be provided, started and stopped very quickly. If more capacity is needed for a service, new containers are made available. Conversely, containers can be deleted immediately when they are no longer needed.

What is Container orchestration?

The provisioning, scaling, load balancing and networking of containers is complex and time-consuming. Container orchestration automates these processes and also offers many options for connecting further interfaces and central functions.
