Netquity Challenge
In the last years, Netquity has adopted opensource containers technology (Docker Swarm) to support the operation of the Icelink platform avoiding vendor locking and using an infrastructure agnostic approach, by doing this they can deploy the platform on the cloud and also on the on premise environments within the same tooling stack.
In the last years, Docker has slowed down the Swarm development while other container orchestrations tools such as Kubernetes, EKS, Openshift have continued adding value and growing.
-
The challenge is to select and migrate to a containers orchestrations technology that meet the following constraints:
-
Must have Docker compatibility
-
Must be Open-source Technology
-
Must be Platform-agnostic: should run on-premise or on cloud in the same way
-
Should be community-wide adopted
Why AWS?
Netquity was already using the services provided by AWS for other projects and continues to choosing AWS due to the stability of the platform, the innovation capacity provided by AWS in recent year
