The pace of innovation suggests the
likelihood that organisations who
aggressively embrace new tools and business
models – and make these available to their
development teams – are the ones who are
more likely to succeed.
Engineers are required to transform their
skillset in order to remain relevant in
today’s market and to deliver at the pace
that the business demands. The evolution
in software and automation, packaging
software and networking infrastructure
demands scalability and agility on an
unprecedented scale.
Containers provide the enterprise with the
ability to modernise legacy applications,
create born-in-the-cloud applications and
develop solutions that are both scalable and
agile, all within containerised environments
that work in concert with legacy applications
given the right approach to infrastructure.
An edge to success
Building with containers can add business
value, but a common mistake organisations
make is to assume that they now have to
rebuild everything and that legacy systems
face endless overhaul with endless cost. The
reality is that containers should leverage
some of what’s already available in the
organisation, while additional investments
are carefully considered for the best possible
end-to-end application environment.
