IAM with Docker and Kubernetes Altogether gives you a competitive advantage
When it comes to developing and deploying capabilities that support remote work and online business. It is imperative that the workloads be protected. One of the best ways to speed time to market is to scale up for peak demand and increase the efficiency by using a modern identity and access management (IAM) solution. With the cloud now a top organization strategic priority that supports a multi-cloud DevOps deployment model utilizing containerization and adaptation technologies, such as Docker and Kubernetes.
New Demands Create Challenges for Traditional IAM
IAM enables organizations to connect users to all their services with seamless and secure access from any device. For any new services needed, identity authentication and management is essential. However, traditional IAM solutions are complex and difficult to deploy. They lack the scalability and flexibility needed for quickly rolling out new services, upgrades, or releases. Modern IAM solutions need to be agile in order to quickly respond to market demand. This requires re-architecting IAM to support automated and continuous delivery requirements essential for DevOps across any cloud. Supporting a DevOps approach and containerizing IAM using Docker and Kubernetes allows for greater flexibility when deploying IAM solutions.
The Power of DevOps and Identity
Large enterprises face identity challenges around slow time-to-market development, high deployment costs, and lack of resources and skill sets. What’s needed is a cost-effective way to speed and streamline deployment, maintenance, and management with a comprehensive identity platform. A modern identity platform will enable you to build and maintain a production-grade, DevOps-enabled, referenceable, cloud-ready architecture that enables automated multicloud deployments leveraging Docker and Kubernetes. These capabilities reduce the time you spend managing and configuring software, increase the speed of deployment, and allow you to focus on delivering business results, thereby increasing your overall productivity and competitive advantage. In fact, customers that leverage ForgeRock DevOps deployment model has accelerated projects by three to six months and have saved 25 percent on implementation costs. With the right identity solution, organizations can easily protect workloads in any cloud; support millions of any type of identity; enable rapid solution development in a repeatable way and conduct fast, simple, and highly available deployments all without sacrificing rich features and extensibility. This ultimately leads to immediate business benefits, including accelerated time to market, increased flexibility in rolling out new services, availability and scalability, and time savings.
What Are Docker and Kubernetes?
Docker is a tool designed to make it easier for developers to quickly create, deploy, and run applications at scale and in any environment by using containers. Containers allow a developer to bundle an application with all of the parts it needs such as libraries, code, and other dependences and deploy it as one package. Developers can focus on writing code without worrying about the system that it will be running on. Kubernetes is an open source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Together, Docker and Kubernetes enable developers to orchestrate and deliver faster services with flexible deployment options, whether in an on-premises, hybrid, or multi-cloud environment.
