The future of application development

</global-title>

<global-paragraph className="mb-4">

Kubernetes **(K8s) is an open source system** that is designed to manage the execution of containers, such as those from [Docker](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/strategies-for-slim-docker-images/). It is a kind of **orchestration system that helps to manage, test, scale and deploy software applications faster**. A [Kubernetes architecture](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/local-kubernetes-development/) is based on automated processes and consists of containers, clusters, pods and nodes.

</global-paragraph>

<global-paragraph className="mb-6">

At the top of the hierarchy are the **containers**, which contain applications and the software environment. So-called **pods** bring together all the containers that work together for an application. The pods in turn run on **nodes**, virtual or real machines. Kubernetes uses the term **cluster** to describe several nodes that belong together.

</global-paragraph>

<global-title className="mb-6" :tag="h4" :size="md">

**Advantages of Kubernetes:**

</global-title>

<global-block className="mb-4,ul-disk">

- Flexible system that grows with you
- Can be used anywhere - whether on-site infrastructure or cloud
- Automated application provisioning
- Scaling of software applications
- More efficient management of microservices

What is Docker?

</global-title>

<global-title className="mb-6" :tag="h3" :size="lg">

Containerization is key

</global-title>

<global-paragraph className="mb-4">

Docker helps to **deploy** and scale software applications in any environment. The software is packaged together with **libraries, code and system tools in standardised units**. These units are known as containers. With the help of [Docker containers](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/strategies-for-slim-docker-images/), applications can be created and tested more quickly.

</global-paragraph>

<global-paragraph className="mb-6">

Containers such as those from Docker are **the foundation for the creation of modern software applications** and platforms. The fact that Docker technology is based on microservices means that development can be more efficient, granular and controllable. A great **advantage for cost-efficient software development**.

</global-paragraph>

<global-title className="mb-6" :tag="h4" :size="md">

**Advantages of Docker:**

</global-title>

<global-block className="mb-4,ul-disk">

- Creating and scaling microservices
- Rapid integration and deployment of code
- Controlled management of content and infrastructure
- Modularity makes repairs and updates possible without any problems
- Faster development thanks to reusable container images
- Agile development thanks to rollback function (versioning)
- Cost-efficient operations of new hardware

Docker & Kubernetes: the perfect combination

</global-title>

<global-paragraph className="mb-4" :color="text-white">

Docker can be used to distribute and run a software application in different containers. With [Kubernetes Development](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/local-kubernetes-development/), the developer accesses these [Docker containers](https://www.blueshoe.io/blog/strategies-for-slim-docker-images/) and orchestrates them using automated processes. Kubernetes would not work without containers. That's why Docker and Kubernetes go hand in hand for our developers.

Why is Blueshoe your expert for Docker and Kubernetes?

</global-title>

<global-paragraph className="mb-4">

We at [Blueshoe](https://www.blueshoe.io/team/) have come to the conclusion that it makes perfect sense to deploy independent services in separate containers and have them orchestrated by Kubernetes. Almost all of our [projects](https://www.blueshoe.io/projects/) have **several programmers working on different services**. Development with Docker and Kubernetes is absolutely ideal.

</global-paragraph>

<global-paragraph className="mb-4">

We rely on *k3d* as our local Kubernetes cluster and *PyCharm* as our development environment. We also use *Helm* to manage the cluster and *Telepresence* for live code reloading.
