Containerization and Orchestration in IT Infrastructure: DevOps Practices, Adaptability, and Security

Abstract

The article examines the architectural and organizational principles of applying containerization, orchestration, and DevOps practices in industrial IT infrastructure. The mechanisms ensuring adaptability, fault tolerance, and security of digital systems based on Docker and Kubernetes technologies are analyzed. The role of DevOps in integrating development, testing, and operation processes, as well as its importance for building self-adaptive and secure production platforms, is emphasized. Particular attention is given to data management, information protection, and the implementation of multi-layered security policies in container clusters. It is shown that the combination of containerization, orchestration, and DevOps contributes to improving the resilience of IT systems and reducing operational risks in industrial environments.
