Containerisation
Make cloud migration faster, easier and more cost-effective with container technology.
An easier way to migrate and modernise
Containers have become a key technology for many organisations migrating to the cloud. Used to package an application with its configuration and OS dependencies, they ensure software runs reliably when moved from one computing environment to another. As well as improving portability, they make it easier to leverage cloud benefits such as cost-optimisation, enhanced operability and scalability on-demand.
With containers, cloud migration can be both fast and effective. The technology is also useful in cloud adoption and software deployment scenarios where environments need to be created or extended quickly.
Expert use of containers
With containers, it’s possible to embrace modern cloud-native approaches without having to recode migrated applications. However, the approach does require expert management and implementation.
When you engage DevOpsGroup for cloud migration or modernisation services, we’ll identify any applications that could benefit from containerisation. Our engineers are experienced in the use of opensource and cloud vendor container technologies and orchestration platforms, from Docker and Kubernetes to Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Instances.
We have the technical skills and in-depth cloud knowledge to help you use containers effectively, whatever your circumstances.

From containerisation to orchestration
DevOpsGroup can handle the entire process, from containerising applications to managing their orchestration and operation. We regularly run proof of concept migrations using containers to show how the technology works, and we can also develop blueprints to guide in-house teams.

Modernise fast
Containers act as a stepping-stone on the route to cloud-native; applications can be modernised without the need for a full rebuild.
Boost efficiency
Resources are used more efficiently, reducing total cost of ownership. This can be taken further with modern approaches like on-demand scalability.
Improve performance
Designed to run consistently and reliably in any environment, containers improve resilience and stability during and after migration.
Unlock innovation
By making full use of cloud vendor services and capabilities, containers release time and energy for new product and feature development.

Frequently Asked Questions
Every case is different, however containers can be a good option when migration needs to happen fast, but a lift and shift won’t deliver the required benefits.
Containers are also useful when you need to scale quickly to handle spikes in demand. They can be run in clusters for high availability and resilience.
Since containers don’t need a dedicated internal operating system, licencing costs and management time are reduced. They also make more efficient use of cloud compute resource.
