Powering cloud portability with containerization — boost agility in your tech stack
Is your application landscape complex, fixed, and increasingly outdated? Are your cloud migration and modernization initiatives falling short of expectations? Did you lift and shift or rehost your applications from an on-premise environment to the cloud?
Perhaps you're uncertain about where you are in the cloud journey. Containerization can improve agility and efficiency while paving the way for multicloud portability.
What is containerization?
Containers are packages of software in which applications run in isolated user spaces while using the same shared operating system. With traditional methods, you can expect errors when code moves to different environments. With containers, this code is packaged up and designed to run in any environment, bringing speed and agility to application deployment.
Containerization at scale
Genpact can help you scale your containerization efforts, slash infrastructure costs, and reduce switching costs. And we'll do it without accessing your source code or production environments.
We do this with our unique Containerization@Scale solution powered by Genpact's CloudSmart Packager. It brings together the strategies, blueprints, models, and policies you need to rapidly scale your containerization efforts in the app delivery and deployment life cycle.
A containerization factory
Our CloudSmart Packager provides a futureproof hub for all microservices deployments. Key features include:
- A seven-layer assessment for value-driven containerization
- Practical design principles that enable reliability, security, and fault tolerance
- Flexible, fast solutions for on-premise, single, or multicloud setups
- Embedded DevSecOps protects containers and manages vulnerabilities
- Policy-as-a-code enforcement embedded upfront, not as an afterthought
How a financial institution transformed containerized applications
A bank struggled with high costs, downtime, and static IP issues that were affecting app performance. After assessing their environment, we deployed a Kubernetes cluster – a set of nodes that run containerized applications – transforming applications without altering source code and automating CI/CD integration.
The result? A 60% cost drop, 80% faster delivery, zero downtime, and no upgrade maintenance costs.
