When is it the right solution?

Do you want to take advantage of modern PaaS and cloud-native applications and be able to adapt to the needs of the market in a flexible and cost-efficient way? Then you need a container platform that relieves you of the time-consuming administration and reduces the complexity of your infrastructure.

Cost pressure and competition demand short, efficient adjustment cycles for your applications.

Application scenarios for Container Services

Deployment of container-based applications

Container Services as an application platform

CaaS forms the basis for applications from third-party manufacturers (ISVs, Independent Software Vendors), which are delivered as container images. This allows business applications to be operated without the need for any time-consuming adjustments to the system configuration.

Lifecycle-Management

Continuous Integration and Deployment

Container Services enable the creation of a secure delivery pipeline for your applications. This makes it easy to implement modern CI/CD concepts with a DevOps/DevSecOps approach, without having to worry about the underlying system architecture.

Modernising the IT infrastructure

Microservices Architectures

Modernisation of the IT infrastructure and efficient new concepts such as CI/CD require a container infrastructure such as that provided by CaaS. This allows applications to be modernised step-by-step and converted from monolithic approaches to microservices.

‘Swisscom runs its business applications on the scalable container platform. In doing so, we greatly appreciate the valuable expertise and support of our internal CaaS team.’
