Architecture Decision RecordArchitectur Decisioun Record: Kubernetes container orchestratioun
Problem Statement
We need tae select a container orchestratioun platform for oor growin cloud-native application portfolio. Oor current legacy platform deployment is ower slaw, an no agile eneuch tae keep up wi oor growin needs. We’re leukin for a system that will let us scale oor services in the maist efficient wey possible athoot compromisin on agility or ease o uise.
Considered Alternatives
Docker Swarm
Kubernetes
Apache Mesos
Decisioun Made
Efter conductin a thorough analysis o each container orchestratioun platform, we hae decidit tae adopt Kubernetes as the best option for oor enterprise needs. Oor reasons for chuisin Kubernetes are as follaes:
Scalability: Kubernetes’s unique design is perfect for scalin applications, an as oor requirements for scalability evolve ower time, Kubernetes haes the biggit-in ability tae meet thir chynges athoot onie issues.
Decentralised Architectur: Kubernetes’ master-worker topology ensures a decentralised architectur which ensures that there is nae single pynt o failure.
Community Support: Kubernetes haes the lairgest an maist active open-source community, which means it haes a muckle nummer o contributors, developers, an vendors makin it easier for us tae get help an find resources.
Ecosystem Support: Kubernetes haes a growin ecosystem wi a variety o third-pairty tuils, integratiouns wi container registries, CI/CD pipelines, data storage, an mair.
Therefore, we hae decidit tae adopt Kubernetes as oor container orchestratioun platform for the present an the immediate future.
