Container Platform
What is a Container Platform?
A container platform is a software solution that allows you to manage containerized applications. A container platform typically includes capabilities such as orchestration, monitoring, governance, security, and automation.
How do container platforms work?
The container starts with a base image, and the microservice is packaged into a container image and then deployed through the container platform. The container platform is based on client-server software executing the container through three critical components: an API, daemon service, and a CLI interface. The container remains active until the microservice performs its role in the larger application, and then shuts down once the delivery is complete. The container can be activated repeatedly as needed.
What is container platform-as-a-service?
Container platform-as-a-service is a cloud-based service that allows developers to upload, run, and manage applications in virtualized containers.
Container platform-as-a-service includes framework and hardware components like servers, storage, and network architecture, as well as database management, and a variety of other necessary software components. It is structured to accommodate application development, deployment, and management.
Why container management platforms?
The main benefit of a container management platform is simplified control of clusters of container hosts. IT admins are able to start and stop containers, make updates, and maintain health status. Robust container management includes orchestration and schedulers, security tools, storage, and virtual network management systems and monitoring.
