// Container Orchestration
Docker & Kubernetes
Container-based deployment for reproducible, scalable workloads.

// Overview
How we use Docker & Kubernetes
Docker and Kubernetes are central to our DevOps practice. Multi-stage Dockerfiles produce minimal, secure images. Kubernetes on EKS or GKE provides horizontal scaling, rolling deployments, and self-healing for production workloads with variable traffic.
// Use cases
- Production container orchestration
- Local development environment consistency
- Microservices deployment
- Blue-green and canary deployments
- Scheduled batch jobs (Kubernetes CronJobs)
// Why it matters
Reproducible environments
Docker containers eliminate environment parity issues between development, staging, and production — same image deployed everywhere.
Horizontal scaling
Kubernetes HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) scales pods based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics — handling traffic spikes without manual intervention.
GitOps deployment
ArgoCD or Flux enables declarative GitOps deployment — infrastructure state defined in Git and automatically reconciled by the cluster.
