Containertechnologie is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en softwaredeployment & architectuur.
Definitie
Containertechnologie verpakt applicaties met alle benodigde dependencies in draagbare, lichtgewicht containers die consistent draaien op verschillende omgevingen. Het enables snelle deployment, schaalbaarheid en resource-efficiëntie voor moderne applicaties.
Kenmerken
- Application isolation: Applicaties draaien geïsoleerd van host operating system
- Portability: Containers draaien consistent op development, test en productie omgevingen
- Resource efficiency: Deel kernel resources met host, lichtgewicht dan virtual machines
- Scalability: Horizontale scaling door snel opstarten van container instances
- Microservices support: Ideaal voor microservice architecturen
- DevOps integration: Geïntegreerd in CD pipelines
- Orchestration: Management systemen zoals Kubernetes voor container lifecycle
- Image versioning: Versiebeheer van container images voor consistent deployment
- Service discovery: Automatische detectie en communicatie tussen container services
Toepassing
Manufacturing applications:
- MES modernization: Containerized production management systems
- Data collection: Scalable time-series database deployment
- Quality systems: Containerized SPC en quality tools
- Edge computing: Industrial edge applications in lightweight containers
Development en deployment:
- Microservices architecture: Decomposed applications in separate containers
- CI/CD automation: Container-based build, test en deployment pipelines
- Environment consistency: Identical application behavior across environments
- Blue-green deployments: Zero-downtime updates via container orchestration
Infrastructure modernization:
- Legacy application modernization: Containerizing monolithic applications
- Cloud migration: Container-first approach voor cloud adoption
- Hybrid deployments: Consistent deployment across on-premises en cloud
