DevOps community considers containerization as an inseparable part of productive infrastructure management. Year by year, we observe the growth of popularity of Docker and Kubernetes, so lets get to the core and compare main features that push customers to use it with a higher frequency. DevOps use containers for saving application parts as one package in the process of shipping which immensely boosts productivity and speeds the performance time frames. Nevertheless, it could hardly be the only reason for a wide-spread usage. Its open source natures looks quite appealing for the common usage. Containerization certainly improves the functionality of pipeline. Partially it happens because of consistency and reliability of environmental hosting and containerized nature, nevertheless we may assume that market needs such an improvements in the times when loads scale up with unbelievable speed. In addition, it provides security to clients applications. Comparing the above mentioned services, we could emphasize on the next similarities.
COMPATIBLE SIMPLE STRUCTURE
MICROSERVICE COMPLEXITY RESOLUTIONS
COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS
MULTIPLICITY OF MANAGEABLE SERVICE
C/I AND C/D IMPLEMENTATION
Therefore, we can find ourselves being puzzled about the simultaneous usage of them. The answer is hidden in the levels of functionality. Docker is a standard container, hardly substituent but still partially limited in possibilities when your business potential grows. It perfectly runs the process of packaging and distribution, but what about coordination between existing containers? That’s how such orchestrating containers as Kubernetes appeared. It brings efficient cluster coordination providing extensive capacities. Devops team chooses the most reasonable and effective way for delivering solution to a client combining in deployment process both Docker and Kubernetes.
