Automated Cloud Infrastructure, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery using Docker with Robust Container Security

摘要

Recent industry trends have determined that cloud computing has proven to be a very demanding and lucrative field. Regardless of the size of an organization, they are transitioning to the cloud platform for multiple reasons. Despite cloud providers effort to make the transition smooth, we firmly believe that we have not reached to that point yet, but with the proper set of tools and leveraging best practices, we can certainly make this transition efficient and robust. There are various essential layers that all are working closely together to make cloud automation and platform orchestration successful. This paper provides a brief cloud technology overview and guideline on how cloud computing technology is transforming industrial automation for the future, enhancing productivity and cost optimization. This paper also examines a strategy for effective deployment and maintenance so that automated resources can be managed effectively, provisioned rapidly and released with little to no admin efforts.
