Docker & Kubernetes
Containerized deployments that scale reliably
$ cat services.json
Containerization Strategy
Containerize applications for consistent, reproducible deployments.
- Dockerfile optimization
- Multi-stage builds
- Base image selection
- Security scanning
- Registry setup
Kubernetes Deployment
Design and implement Kubernetes infrastructure for production workloads.
- Cluster architecture design
- Manifest/Helm chart development
- Ingress and networking
- Secrets management
- Monitoring and logging
CI/CD Pipeline Integration
Integrate container workflows into your development pipeline.
- GitHub Actions / GitLab CI setup
- Automated testing in containers
- Image building and pushing
- Deployment automation
- Rollback strategies
$ man docker-kubernetes
My Container Philosophy
Containers aren’t just about packaging—they’re about reliability, reproducibility, and scale.
My approach:
- Immutable infrastructure: Build once, deploy anywhere
- 12-factor app principles: Configuration through environment
- Security first: Minimal base images, non-root users
- Observability: Built-in health checks, metrics, logging
Kubernetes Patterns I Implement
Deployment Strategies
- Rolling updates with health checks
- Blue-green deployments
- Canary releases
Scaling
- Horizontal Pod Autoscaling
- Cluster autoscaling
- Resource quotas and limits
Reliability
- Pod Disruption Budgets
- Liveness and readiness probes
- Anti-affinity rules

Why Containers Matter
Containers solve the “works on my machine” problem definitively:
| Without Containers | With Containers |
|---|---|
| Environment drift | Identical everywhere |
| Manual server setup | Infrastructure as code |
| “Big bang” deploys | Gradual rollouts |
| Scaling is painful | Horizontal scaling |
| Resource waste | Efficient packing |
