As a result of the active use of cloud technologies today, we often hear about container concepts.
Let's take a brief look at these titles.
Docker What is it: It is the name given to each of the processes that are run in isolation from each other within the Linux kernel by the Docker Daemon. It is an open source virtualization platform developed for software developers and system developers. Docker's main job is to ensure that all applications run smoothly in the isolated area.
Kubernetes: Written in the GO language and developed by Google. It is an administrative clustering tool that automatically adds, scales up or down existing containerized applications. It provides basic mechanisms for positioning and scaling applications. Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It is one of the pioneers of dynamically programmed microservice-oriented technologies.
Container: A technology that can manage the runtime dependencies in which we package software, and can be summarized as a development on virtualization technologies.
One of its biggest advantages is that it has a structure that uses process isolation and related kernel functions without using the virtualization of the operating system. Since it does not contain a virtual operating system layer, it consumes less resources and provides strong isolation between applications.
The benefits of Docker and Kubernetes technologies in summary are as follows;
- Financial Gain,
- Cheapness that comes with the cloud,
- Savings on extra physical server costs
- Efficient, dedicated, effective and efficient use of resources
- Very easy to scale
- Very easy and quick to apply
- Very easy backup and restore speeds
- Providing a completely isolated structure
- Offering a safe structure
- Easy shareability
- Being open source, open to development, customization and adaptation
- Bringing standardization to application development
- It controls applications with Container as a service (CaaS) and provides an agile and portable environment.
- It provides a very simple way to perform debug/troubleshoot operations on systems using Docker.
- Providing fast installation and ease of management of preprod and test environments
- Offering microservice architecture quickly and easily
- It is brought to the application level as tenancy instead of multitenancy.
- Since Docker's main job is to ensure that all applications run smoothly in an isolated area, it does not have any dependencies or management concerns.
