In the past few years, businesses have moved towards cloud-native operating models to help streamline operations and move away from costly infrastructure. When running applications in dynamic environments with Docker, Kubernetes, and other tooling, a container becomes the tool of choice as a consistent, atomic unit of packaging, deployment, and application management. This sounds straightforward: build a new application, package it into containers, and scale elastically across the infrastructure of your choice. Then you can automatically update with new images as needed and focus more on solving problems for your end users and customers.
However, organizations don’t work in vacuums. They’re part of a larger ecosystem of customers, partners, and open source communities, with unique cultures, existing processes, applications, and tooling investments in place. This adds new challenges and complexity for adopting cloud native tools such as containers, Kubernetes, and other container schedulers.
At GitHub, we’re fortunate to work with many customers on their container and DevOps strategy. When it comes to adopting containers, there are a few consistent challenges we see across organizations.
Despite the few challenges of adopting containers and leveraging Kubernetes, more and more organizations continue to use them. Stepping over those hurdles allows enterprises to automate and streamline their operations, here with a few examples of how enterprises make it work successfully with support from package managers and CI/CD tools. At GitHub, we’ve introduced container support in GitHub Packages, CI/CD through GitHub Actions, and partnered within the ecosystem to simplify cloud-native workflows. Finding the right container tools should mean less work, not more—easily integrating alongside other tools, projects, and processes your organization already uses.
Want to simplify container deployments in your organization? Join me, Solutions Engineer Pavan Ravipati, and Senior Product Manager Kayla Ngan on October 22 to learn more about successfully adopting containers. We’ll walk through how to use them in the real world and demo best practices for deploying an application to Azure with GitHub Container Registry.
