Advancing Application Development through Containerization: Enhancing Automation, Scalability, and Consistency

Abstract

Containerization has fundamentally transformed the software development landscape by enhancing automation, scalability, and consistency across diverse environments. This paper examines the core principles of containerization and its pivotal role in modernizing application development through automation. By leveraging tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), we explore the substantial benefits containerization brings to DevOps practices, including improved deployment efficiency, resource optimization, and operational consistency. Additionally, this study addresses the challenges associated with container orchestration and management, offering insights into best practices for implementing containerized solutions in contemporary software engineering workflows.
