Digitalization and Business Success from the Container?
Companies must be structurally sustainable and withstand the high pressure to innovate – these are the core tasks of management. In IT, we see two important building blocks in particular as to how technology can support the business:
- digitize existing business processes to make the organization faster and more effective
- further establish digital products in order to remain competitive in the long term.
The innovation cycles are becoming shorter and shorter, and the demands on the IT systems and the people in the IT departments are increasing enormously.
Many products are already digital – they exist as software, as an application. These applications must be available around the clock and operated everywhere, as close as possible to the user.
Everywhere. In the Edge, in the Core and in the Cloud
The goal must be to make the digital experience with the products as perfect as possible for all customers and users. Only then can the business function optimally. We at FullStackS understand the business of our customers and provide them with the optimal IT architecture.
Ultimately, it is always about digital business processes and models. We understand these with our holistic “FullStack” approach, always as a link between the business and the IT of the customer.
This leads us to the question:
Digitalization and business success from the container – is that possible?
What is DevOps?
This area has many facets and is not a “product” – it is much more the result of new approaches, the establishment of new mindsets and the demolition of existing silos between departments.
We live DevOps by enabling our customers through our methodical and structured approach, supporting them in their transformation to agile processes and in changing their mindset, and providing the right tools for maximum business value.
DevOps becomes significantly valuable when working with the right, optimally coordinated tool stack. To name just one trivial example: e.g. an APM solution triggers a rollback of a software rollout should performance problems occur after upgrading to a new release.
Through continuous coordination with the customer’s stakeholders, we react flexibly and quickly to changing framework conditions and can thus quickly counteract and not lose sight of the goal.
Technologically, in the “DevOps” environment, in addition to Full Stack Observability (FSO), monitoring and topics such as Infrastructure as Code, you will almost always find the topic of Container & Kubernetes.
Sure, Kubernetes is the answer! But what is the question?
Admittedly, this is a very provocative representation.
Let’s leave aside the hype surrounding modern technologies and concentrate on the advantages and benefits for companies.
A better question might be: How can my company benefit from this?
Example 1 – Use Case & Value:
Developers live shorter and shorter release cycles and produce almost daily new features and functions (so-called releases or “artifacts”) – and that’s a good thing. This software must be operated and made available to the user in the way that the individual use case (the digital business process or the product) requires.
And this is exactly where we have a massive challenge, as classic IT infrastructure is often static and sluggish – because its objectives are robust and stable operation.
Changes are made – if at all – only when they are absolutely necessary and are planned long in advance as “maintenance windows.”
There is a field of tension here that needs to be resolved. Container technology, self-service and automation are the answer here.
For this reason, almost all successful companies are already using container technology. And in most cases, this is Kubernetes – the “de facto standard” in container orchestration.
What are Containers?
Containers are a (minimal) virtualization technology for applications. In contrast to classic virtualization, containers do not require an operating system. In addition to the application, containers also contain all the necessary runtime environments and dependencies, and are also extremely lean, portable and versionable. With these properties, they are virtually the “de facto standard” for the delivery and operation of modern software.
What is Kubernetes?
Kubernetes is a container orchestration system, which we also like to call the “operating system of the cloud”. It represents the de facto standard for large, scalable container environments. Kubernetes monitors, controls and orchestrates container environments. In a very simplified representation, Kubernetes is for containers what VMware vSphere (vCenter) is for virtual machines – even if this comparison is completely flawed, as the systems are completely different.
How Can My Company Benefit from Containers and Kubernetes?
Like almost every modern technology, containers and Kubernetes are overvalued. Anyone who selects these technologies only to “have the latest again” is giving away their potential.
Our mission is to enable significant added value for your company through these technologies. In addition to a valid use case, this also requires a focus on the added values of the technologies. These added values must then be fully exploited.
But what can these added values be?
With our holistic approach, we ensure the introduction of a scalable container and Kubernetes platform in your company and highlight significant advantages for you. “By the way”, we introduce DevOps into your company and you participate from gained agility and mindset, which lets the Dev and Ops teams pay into your company goals.
In Short:
The answer to the initial question is “Yes”. Yes, provided there is a valid use case and focus on objectives to be achieved in the form of added value. We support you in this.
