Software Development Improvement in CC using Containerization as a Service (CaaS)

Abstract :

The evolution of Cloud Computing (CC) in Software Development (SD) has been significantly influenced by containerization, which provides application developers with an efficient method for distributing portable web applications. Docker, a widely adopted containerization platform, generates lightweight containers that simplify application delivery by reducing complexity in software component integration and configuration. Similarly, Kubernetes offers containerized application automation with capabilities for scaling, deployment, and resource management across clusters. This study focuses on enhancing software development in CC through an optimized Kubernetes approach, comparing it with Docker and conventional Kubernetes in terms of resource management and advanced integrations. Modern DevOps-based SD increasingly leverages containers and CC to achieve stability, portability, security, and scalability. Container as a Service (CaaS) integrates containerization with cloud infrastructure, offering flexible, scalable solutions. To date, no prior study has examined the technical configuration and deployment of CaaS using openSUSE Kubic in relation to the Linux kernel and operating system, tested via Pods from both service and replication perspectives. Experimental results demonstrate that openSUSE Kubic is highly streamlined and effective for CaaS development and deployment, providing software developers with a highly extensible and efficient environment for SD.
