Introduction : from classic deployment to modern orchestration
The deployment of applications is in full mutation. Containers, like Docker, and orchestration tools such as Kubernetes, have established themselves as standards in the IT world.
Why? Because they offer speed, portability, scalability... and especially a response to the modern challenges of cloud computing: multi-environments, microservices, CI/CD, etc.
According to CNCF, Kubernetes is used by 96% of companies that have adopted containers. This democratization reflects a need: to master the growing complexity of deployments while maintaining a clear DevOps vision.
But behind this promise lies a demanding technical reality, which requires a robust base and cutting-edge expertise to ensure performance and security.
Containers : a new standard for software agility
Containers allow to encapsulate an application with its dependencies in a lightweight, isolated and easily transportable environment.
Unlike virtual machines, they do not integrate a complete OS, which reduces resource consumption and significantly improves deployment times.
Use cases are numerous : microservices, automated tests, hybrid cloud, public cloud, multicloud portability...
This approach is ideal for modern development cycles (CI/CD), but involves centralized management of images, registers, secrets and configurations.
At UNIVIRTUAL, we support CIOs and CTOs in the deployment of secure containers within sovereign, scalable and multicloud-compatible cloud infrastructures.
Orchestration: automate, distribute, secure
Kubernetes has become the reference in orchestration. It allows for :
- Automatically schedule deployments
- Distribute the load among several nodes
- Manage load increases, breakdowns, reboots
- Control access and secure communications between pods
Without an orchestrator, the risk of drifts, manual errors, or downtime explodes.
Orchestration becomes vital to manage complex architectures, where agility must rhyme with reliability.
Our DevOps experts help you set up sovereign Kubernetes clusters, integrated into your GitLab CI/CD tools or your private cloud. Schedule a consultation to obtain an audit of your container & orchestration needs.
Why choose UNIVIRTUAL for your container and orchestration projects?
Because we combine DevOps expertise, sovereign infrastructure and end-to-end support.
Our key benefits :
- Hosting in ISO/HDS certified French and Swiss datacenters
- Infrastructure optimized for Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, microservices
- Monitoring, supervision and integrated security services (anti-DDoS, backups, VPN, A2F)
- Personalized support: architecture, deployment, training
Whether you are in the migration, scaling or security phase, our team helps you implement a stable, efficient and sovereign containerized infrastructure.
Conclusion : an essential approach to stay competitive
Containers and orchestration are no longer options. They establish themselves as an essential building block of modern IT infrastructures.
But their adoption cannot be improvised. Between technical complexity, security, interoperability and architecture choices, it is crucial to be well supported.
At UNIVIRTUAL, we make sovereign cloud and DevOps performance a standard accessible to European companies.
