Containerization Services

The success of your organization’s business outcomes depends on how fast you as an IT organization can pivot and deliver new features and innovations to your customer base to stay relevant in your marketplace; cloud-based business models are enabling IT organizations to do the same, and driving the need for cloud modernization of existing applications.

One of the best methods to drive cloud modernization, which provides a balance between the risk and rewards, is replatforming. Replatforming is an effective way to quickly start reaping the benefits of portability, faster go-to-market, lower cost of ownership, and a pathway to microservices.

Containers are a virtualization technology that bundles up an application’s source code together with its libraries, dependencies, and settings, creating an abstraction independent of the underlying environment. This enables the containerized application to run predictably and reliably, no matter where you’re executing it.

Organizations are now deploying their applications across a wider variety of machines and infrastructure than ever before. Unfortunately, much enterprise IT is still wedded to legacy hardware and software that carry serious technical debt and operational costs.

Containerization works by abstracting applications from the underlying host system. Each container packages the application code along with its dependencies into a standardized unit that can run anywhere. The container runtime (like Docker) creates isolated user-space instances that share the host OS kernel but maintain separate filesystems, networking, and process spaces.

Containers are built from images – read-only templates that define the container’s filesystem. Images are composed of layers, allowing for efficient storage and distribution. Orchestration tools like Kubernetes manage the deployment, scaling, and networking of containers across clusters of hosts.
