The What, Why, and How of Application Containerization!

The container management market has shown rapid growth in recent years. The projected revenue growth is around $944 million ( ~ $1 billion) by 2024, from $465.8 million in 2020,says Statista.

Let’s get started with what “Containerization is,” followed by “Application Containerization.”

What is Containerization?

To put it simply, consider it as an alternative or a companion of “Virtualization.” We can define “Containerization” as the encapsulation or packaging of a software code and all its dependencies to make it run independently on any infrastructure. These units are called containers, wherein they share the machine’s operating system kernel, not requiring the overhead of associating an operating system within each application.

Challenges of Hybrid Cloud Computing

The value of the global cloud market was at $52 billion in the year 2020 and is expected to reach approximately $145 billion in 2026, says Statista. If this enormous evaluation has piqued your interest, then let’s dive deep into the discussion of hybrid cloud management.

What is Hybrid Cloud?

To understand more about hybrid cloud architecture, let’s start with the basics.

Hybrid Cloud is an architectural style connecting public and private clouds, enabling orchestration, management, and application portability between them for creating a flexible optimal cloud environment for running enterprises’ compute workloads.

Kubernetes Thrives, but its Deployment is the Biggest Challenge!

Kubernetes, also known as K8s or Kube, is an open-source platform that facilitates automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

According to Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2021, Kubernetes is the third most loved and most wanted platform, with 72.48% positive votes. A whopping 2756 companies are using Kubernetes in the industry today. Some of these include Google, Shopify, and Udemy.

Kubernetes is the one-stop solution for solving container-orchestration problems. Being an open-source system, it offers portability, flexibility, and multi-cloud capability, thereby increasing developer productivity.

Despite the incredible benefits that Kubernetes offer, managing Kubernetes isn’t easy. It has its own set of challenges when it comes to deploying a Kubernetes cluster.

Here we’ll explore the major challenges of deploying Kubernetes and look at how Managed Kubernetes can help resolve these.

Business Benefits of Hybrid Cloud Computing!

Rapid increase in Hybrid Cloud Computing!

Hybrid cloud strategies are on the rise! A 2019 report by Flexera found that enterprises with a hybrid strategy (combining public and private clouds) grew to 58% in 2019 from 51% in 2018.

Read more about hybrid cloud infrastructure and the benefits of switching to hybrid cloud computing, here in this blog. Continue reading “Business Benefits of Hybrid Cloud Computing!”

Introduction To Microservices

Introduction

There has been a rapid development in the application development industry in order to keep pace with the technological advancements and to meet customer requirements. However, while working with the traditional developments, people had to use large chunks of code. This made the entire task difficult as people had to go back to square one to resolve a minute problem. Microservices help overcome this by breaking applications into smaller, manageable parts.
