What is a container platform?

A container platform is a cluster of multiple servers for use with docker containers. This platform provides the necessary tools for the administration of the applications from the individual containers.

Where are container platforms used?

The operation of many containers accordingly requires many features, such as the automated rolling out of new container images for administration, self-healing, high availability, dynamic scaling and the provision of persistent storage. For these purposes, Docker alone is not sufficient as a framework, but requires additional orchestration tools. Which tools an infrastructure needs and in which execution depends on two components: On the one hand, it depends on the type of containers operated on a platform, on the other hand on whether development environments are to be created or no

What are the advantages of using containers?

Scalability:With a container platform, microservices can be dynamically scaled horizontally to distribute the load across multiple hosts.

High availability:Since containers can run on multiple hosts simultaneously, the failure of a container or host is not noticeable and is automatically replaced by the platform.

Updates & Rollback: Containers are not patched but replaced by new versions. Various update mechanisms with rollback are available for this purpose – in most cases an upgrade can be carried out without downtime.

Portability: Containers are independent of the Linux used. The hosts are exchangeable and can also be outsourced to the cloud on request.
