Agility, flexibility and independence are all essentials when accelerating your path to the cloud

One way to improve the provisioning process for cloud-based resources and data is through the adoption of Docker containers, which can run in any environment.

Containerisation enables organisations to package an application in a portable container to speed up and simplify the deployment and configuration process. Code and data are stored separately, allowing customers to package their code cleanly in the container. When making application updates, new code can be up and running in the cloud very quickly and data is then naturally used with the new version.

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform features a cloud manager that makes it easier to deploy, configure, and manage smarter applications in whatever cloud they prefer – AWS, GCP, Azure or private cloud – embracing a more cloud-like abstraction to components for a higher operational agility.

InterSystems IRIS is designed to help organisations adopt a containerised approach to application development.

Software providers typically devote 90 percent of their attention to the application. But with containers, software developers don't waste time setting up the application environment. They become more agile in their work and can more freely focus only on application development code.

Subsequently, software developers can more easily cooperate with operational engineers as both work with the same artifact that is universally understood – the container.
