Docker Development for DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure

Expert fractional CTO services combining Docker expertise with deep DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure industry knowledge. Build compliant, scalable solutions that meet DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure-specific requirements.

Why Docker for DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure?

Docker Strengths

  • Consistent environments across development and production
  • Simplified deployment and rollback
  • Resource efficiency over VMs
  • Large ecosystem and community

DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Requirements

  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Container orchestration
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Monitoring

Docker Use Cases in DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure

DevOps tool containerization

CI/CD system isolation

Automation platform packaging

Architecture Patterns for DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure

Pattern 1

Standard Docker architecture patterns

Pattern 2

Best practices for DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure implementations

Pattern 3

Scalable design for DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure workloads

Performance

Minimize layers, use proper caching in builds, optimize layer ordering, use smaller base images.

Security

Scan images regularly, use trusted base images, implement least privilege, don't store secrets in images, keep Docker updated.

Scaling

Docker itself doesn't handle multi-host scaling. Use Docker Swarm for simple scaling, Kubernetes for complex orchestration.

Recommended Team Structure

Docker knowledge should be common across development teams. Build expertise into CI/CD and deployment specialists.

Timeline: Initial containerization: 1-2 weeks, Full workflow: 4-8 weeks
Budget: $10,000-$40,000

Success Story: Docker

Seed-stage startup with "works on my machine" problems

Challenge

Developers spending hours weekly debugging environment issues. Deployments were manual and error-prone.

Solution

Fractional CTO containerized all services, implemented Docker Compose for local dev, set up CI/CD with container deployment.

Result

Environment debugging time reduced 90%. Deployments went from 2 hours manual to 10 minutes automated. Onboarding time for new devs cut in half.

Timeline: 3 weeks
