Implantação de Orquestrador de Containers para melhoria do ciclo de vida das aplicações na JFRN e avanço da cultura DevOps

Abstract

Deploying a container orchestrator is an essential initiative to optimize the life cycle of applications and boost the DevOps culture in organizations. In today's technological scene, agile practice and process automation have become imperative to ensure efficiency and agility in software development. The goal of this work is to deploy a container orchestrator in JFRN, by making use of a Kubernetes cluster in collaboration with the deployment of a container-based application developed by the institution. To be able to achieve these goals, the work starts with a brief comparative study between known container orchestration platforms, Docker Swarm and Kubernetes, to justify the Kubernetes use choice. The challenges of cluster creation and migrating the application to the new way of deployment, are explored. For the simulation of auto-scaling from a generated demand and how the cluster will handle failure, an experiment will be made. The initial comparative analyses assisted in the development of a basis to justify the Kubernetes use choice. The experiment results contributed to solidifying the advantages of using a container orchestrator, with being able to deliver a resilient, automated, scalable, and secure infrastructure that gives the end user a much more trusted application.
