Use Docker and Kubernetes to Build and Deploy Reliable Application

In container technology, the most famous open source leaders are Docker and Kubernetes. To succeed in cloud development, the programmer needs to understand the way to combine both Docker and Kubernetes. This article will help you to understand the fundamentals of Docker and Kubernetes and the advantages of both when combined.

Docker vs Kubernetes

Docker is a technology for defining and running containers, and Kubernetes is a container orchestration framework that represents and manages containers within a web application.?

It’s necessary to take a look at Containers that ties the two technologies in cloud native application (Docker and Kubernetes) together.

Containers are a package of application code that runs on any IT infrastructure and is abstracted away from the host Operating System. Docker will be useful to build containers, and using Kubernetes you can manage the containers efficiently at runtime. The developers utilize the Docker for packaging and shipping the application and finally deploy them using Kubernetes.

Docker

Docker,? an open-source platform and acts as a toolkit to create, manage and deploy containers. Docker containers can work across different systems such as desktop, cloud, data center, and more. The suite of tools makes the developer's job easier, safer, and faster. Using Docker you can run the application continuously even one part of it under an update/repair condition.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes, the container orchestration framework is used to automate the management and deploy the containerized application. Multiple container architecture is called a Kubernetes cluster which acts as a master node and assigns workloads for other containers. Grouping the containers will make up a product into a cluster and enables the high volumes of containers for their entire lifecycles.

The power of combining both Docker and Kubernetes

Docker provides applications in small sizes and as an isolated containers by packaging them and Kubernetes provides orchestration of Docker containers and schedules them to deploy across IT environments. As a result, the combined technologies provide the applicat with below features.?

• Load balancing for the application
• Updating the app will be simple (Deploying and updating to the corresponding label service)
• Traffic shaping?

So what will be the confusion here?

The recent version of Docker has built Kubernetes and this feature will help the developers more to automate and manage the containerized application. In cloud-native applications, inside the Kubernetes cluster, there is a container runtime which used to pull in/out the images. Docker will be the best choice for container runtime as it has a variety of UX enhancements that support developers to make their work simple.?

Deploying Docker images to Kubernetes is a best way to run your application in an easily scalable way. Getting started with your first Docker/Kubernetes deployment can be a little daunting if you are new to these trending technologies, but with a little bit of preparation, will make you expert in this specific field.
