Survey of Containerization, Orchestration, and CI/CD Integration on DevOps in Modern Software Development

Abstract

Containerization, orchestration, and CI/CD are the key tenets of the contemporary DevOps practices that allow organizations to be agile, scalable, and release software on a regular basis. Containerization packages up applications and dependency packages, and these are small and lightweight packages, which can be guaranteed to work in an environment that is both more heterogeneous and also in supporting microservices-based architecture. Apache Mesos, Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are orchestration systems, which simplify how to structure distributed applications in a multi-cloud and hybrid environment. The systems offer computerized multi-faceted operations such as deployment, scaling, networking and fault tolerance. The combination of these technologies and CI/CD pipelines automates the software development, testing, and deployment and makes the release processes faster and avoids the possibility of human error. Containerization, orchestration, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) ensure improved efficiency, quality, and resilience of cloud-native systems and enable operations and development teams to cooperate and make the delivery process seamless. It is a survey that generalizes what the different scholars have accomplished in the previous few years and opens up a multifaceted outlook of these technologies and the manner in which they help in the development of the modern software engineering practices, and this offers a glimpse of responsible and receptive DevOps ecosystems.
