CaaS (Containers-as-a-Service)

The service will replace the departments within the company responsible for creating, monitoring and administering containers. With CaaS, developers can quickly develop and scale containers ‘in the cloud’, such as k8s.

Features

CaaS has the following features that help the customer:

1. Transparency. The process of creation and monitoring is fully available to the customer. At any time he can check how the service is working.
2. Scalability. CaaS can scale automatically with special functionality. Orchestration is also available for customers, with the help of which distribution systems are created.
3. Simplicity. When using the service, software migration to the vendor environment is simplified. Many processes are automated, which minimises the occurrence of error due to human error.
4. Reduction of financial costs. CaaS works perfectly with horizontal scaling of containers, which allows you to pay only for actually used resources.

Application areas

One of the main application areas of Containers-as-a-Service is the creation of scalable and secure containerisation-based software. Providers suggest that customers use containers at any stage of creation to maximise ease of use and ensure product security.

The second area is minimising software development and testing time. This allows you to gain an advantage over your competitors to release the application to the market first.

The third use case for CaaS is to consolidate developers for a joint large project. For this purpose, a unified platform is used that offers unified tools for work and simplifies microservice deployments. The service is also used to combine containers and microservices.

Containers-as-a-Service is an efficient service for developing, managing, administering and testing working containers. Implementing the service in a company offers many benefits, such as automatic scaling or reduced financial costs.
