Operational Impact
The use of containers and microservices has transformed the way WCG Solutions operates. The company now has a much better situational awareness for everything from web apps to their databases. They no longer have to rely on configuration management at the system level, which has made their operations much more efficient and effective. The use of a container scheduling system has also allowed them to gather metrics and perform load balancing across all of their systems, which has improved their operational efficiency. The company has also been able to address the challenges of deploying stateful services in containers, thanks to their exploration of external data stores and their eventual solution in Portworx. This has allowed them to ensure that no one host is critical to their infrastructure, which has improved their operational resilience. | |
