Containers 101: What is container technology, what is Kubernetes and why do you need them? nellmarie.colman Mon, 01/25/2021 - 15:09 What are containers? Containers make it possible for an application to run consistently and reliably, regardless of the operating system or infrastructure environment. Containers do this by bundling up everything a service needs to run code, runtime, system tools, system libraries and settings creating a portable, standalone, executable package. What is a container used for? Containers represent the future of compute alongside technologies like DevOps, cloud native, AI and machine learning. Common use cases include: Modernizing existing applications in the cloud Creating new applications that maximize the benefits of containers Isolating, deploying, scaling and supporting microservices and distributed apps Boosting DevOps efficiency/effectiveness through streamlined build/test/deployment Providing developers with consistent production environments, isolated from other applications and processes Simplifying and accelerating repetitive functions Facilitating hybrid and multicloud computing environments, since containers are able to run consistently anywhere What is containerization? Containerization the act of creating a container involves pulling out just the application/service you need to run, along with its dependencies and configuration, and abstracting it from the operating system and the underlying infrastructure. The resulting container image can then be run on any container platform. Multiple containers can be run on the same host and share the same OS with other containers, each running isolated processes within its own secured space. Because containers share the base OS, the result is being able to run each container using significantly fewer resources than if each was a separate virtual machine (VM). What are the benefits of containers? Containers are lightweight: Because theyre isolated from the OS layer, containers are efficient and light on resources compared to virtual machines. Containers are portable: Since the container includes all of the dependencies and configurations, you can write once and move between environments. Containers are scalable: Due to their small size, containers rapidly spin up, scale on the fly, spin down when not in use and quickly restart when necessary. Containers can be cost-effective: Through reduced resource demands and smart scaling, containers offer a solution that is resilient, fast-paced and cost-efficient. Containers require you to manage less infrastructure: Containers force you to get to the nuts-and-bolts of what you really need, to deliver an experience that best serves your customers. This makes managing infrastructure easier because theres less infrastructure to manage. Containers enable focus: IT teams will spend less time with guest operating systems and physical hardware, enabling them to engage with business-critical projects. Containers accelerate development: Containers provide a stable, predictable environment, where CPU/memory is optimized and code is abstracted from infrastructure for portability. Containers unlock modern architecture: Using containers, developers can break applications into microservices, which can speed up development and, when deployed, be scaled individually. What are the challenges of containers? Containers are relatively new: Kubernetes was first released in 2014 and has rapidly gained market acceptance. Being a hot tech can make it challenging to find experienced technologists who know how to work within containerized environments. Not all services are containerized: If your application relies on services that arent containerized, you might need to heavily invest to transform it into a container solution. Containers require process and skills changes: Containers can accelerate your transition to more agile, efficient development, but this can mean major changes to your current development, deployment, reviewing and monitoring processes. Similarly, existing teams might need to be adjusted and retrained. The technology is evolving at speed: This isnt unique to containers, but the fast-paced nature of container technology means you need people on hand (or partners) to make sound decisions, reduce risk and ensure implementation isnt stymied by corporate inertia. Containers arent a magic bullet: Skim a benefits list and containers might look ideal, but any transition requires serious thought. You must understand what you have to work with, what will work and what wont or find someone to help you through it. Containers vs. virtual machines Containers and virtual machines are both packages. A container is a package that includes your application and everything it needs to run, aside from the operating system. A virtual machine is a package that includes your application and everything it needs to run, including the operating system itself. You can run multiple containers on a single operating system. And you can run multiple virtual machines on a single piece of hardware. You can even run containers on virtual machines. One key advantage containers have over virtual machines is that, because they dont include the operating system, containers require fewer system resources and less overhead. They also tend to be faster to start/stop and theyre ultra-portable across environments. But they still take up infrastructure capacity when theyre idle, which can run up unnecessary costs. Docker vs. Kubernetes Docker technology makes it possible to create and run containers and its the industry standard for what defines a container. Kubernetes (abbreviated as k8s) makes it possible to manage (or orchestrate) all of your containerized workloads, including provisioning, networking, load balancing, securing and scaling. Docker can be run standalone without Kubernetes, but Kubernetes cannot function without a container service like Docker. As of 2021, Docker has virtually all of the market share of the containerization space. There are many competing Kubernetes products in the marketplace, with self-managed Kubernetes installed in 50% of companies surveyed by StackRox. The top five are self-managed Kubernetes (50%), Amazon EKS (44%), Azure AKS (31%), RedHat OpenShift (22%) and Amazon ECS (20%). What is container orchestration? If you have just a handful of containers and two or three applications, container orchestration might not be necessary. But once the numbers grow, things become complicated. Container orchestration from Kubernetes makes it possible to deploy, scale and manage thousands of containerized applications, automatically. Benefits of Kubernetes container orchestration include: Service discovery and load balancing Automatically mount storage systems of your choice Automated rollouts and rollbacks Optimal use of resources Self-healing Kubernetes (restart failed containers; kill those that dont respond t
