Docker and Kubernetes Containerization
Containerization has transformed software deployment, and Docker with Kubernetes leads the charge. Docker packages applications into portable containers, ensuring consistency across environments.
Kubernetes, an open-source platform, orchestrates these containers at scale, managing deployment, scaling, and operations. Together, they enable microservices architectures, improving agility and reliability.
Docker's Dockerfile defines container images, while Docker Compose handles multi-container applications locally. Kubernetes extends this with pods, services, and ingress for networking.
Features like auto-scaling, self-healing, and rolling updates make Kubernetes robust. Helm charts simplify application packaging and deployment.
In DevOps, this stack accelerates CI/CD, supports hybrid clouds, and enhances resource utilization. Security is bolstered with image scanning and network policies.
Docker Swarm provides simpler orchestration, but Kubernetes offers more features for complex setups. Integration with monitoring tools like Prometheus ensures observability.
Tech Stack: Docker, Kubernetes, Docker Compose, Helm, Container Registries (Docker Hub, ECR), CI/CD tools.
