Full-stack project containerization
Software development has undergone an overhaul when it comes to the testing and delivering software products. Hosting software for business related purposes upon virtual machines has grown to be an encumbering process with significant overhead when it comes to manging many virtual machines. The industry has shifted towards utilizing containerization technologies to solve this overhead and to leverage consistency of their products. The author explores the concepts and role of virtual machines within its former traditional hosting role for software compared to that of containers, its successor. He suggests that containers add value to traditional virtual machines hosting with added security and increased abstraction while creating consolidating physical resources to the actual software solution rather than the operating system and overhead processes. The introduction of a product thesis covered that of a testing tool in development that already has been taken into use with a growing pain of building installers as the end solution for the testing and delivering the product to the end-users. Slow builds have been hampering testing phases significantly due to wait times for the installer to be built. The solution previously being prone to environmental errors caused by installations in unsupported operating system by end-users which has been taking time away from developers to resolve these. The thesis goals have been set by the author to minimize these problems by containerizing the full-stack project that makes up the testing project, to automatize its building process and to publish to an Artifactory storage. The sub-goal being to reduce build times by at least 40 % compared to its previous build solution. Overcomming implementation difficulties and having theorized multiple methods to optimize build times with various tools, the author succesfully containerized the project into isolated containers for each component. Having containerized the solutions he constructed the continuous deployment pipelines required to ...
