Dockerising the legacy
Making changes to application infrastructure can be daunting at the best of times so when it was decided that we move to the world of containers, I took on a task I didn’t know the depth of, so I am going to share my experience of getting my hands dirty.
At the time, I was new to docker but very interested in the technology, as technology folks, we all love a shiny new toy to play with. Apart from that the advantages and thus the reasons for so are listed as follows in no particular order:
- Introducing speedier changes and testing ideas faster
- Infrastructure as code
- Simplify application/tech stack
- Be cloud-friendly
