Containerization Services

Containerization is a software deployment process that bundles an application's code and all its dependencies into a single, portable unit called a container. This ensures consistent behavior across different environments, from development to production. Benefits include improved scalability, faster deployments, better resource utilization, and consistent development environments.

While both technologies provide isolation, containers are more lightweight as they share the host OS kernel and run as isolated processes. Virtual machines, on the other hand, run complete OS instances. Containers start up faster, use fewer resources, and are more portable, making them ideal for microservices and cloud-native applications.

We support all major container orchestration platforms including Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and cloud-specific services like AWS ECS/EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE. Our team has extensive experience in setting up, managing, and optimizing these platforms based on your specific requirements.

We implement multiple layers of security including image scanning for vulnerabilities, runtime security monitoring, network policies, access controls (RBAC), secrets management, and regular security audits. We also follow container security best practices and compliance requirements specific to your industry.

Yes, we have extensive experience in containerizing legacy applications. Our process involves analyzing the application architecture, identifying dependencies, optimizing for containers, and ensuring proper configuration management. We use a phased approach to minimize risk and ensure successful migration.

We implement comprehensive monitoring solutions including Prometheus for metrics collection, Grafana for visualization, ELK Stack or Loki for log management, and various APM tools. Our monitoring setup covers container health, application performance, resource utilization, and business metrics.

We implement robust storage solutions using container-native storage options like persistent volumes in Kubernetes, along with cloud provider storage services. We ensure proper backup, recovery, and data migration strategies are in place, while maintaining high availability and performance.

We set up automated CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions. This includes automated building and testing of container images, security scanning, and deployment automation. We implement GitOps practices for declarative deployments and version control of infrastructure.
