Portainer works with both Docker and Kubernetes to make the deployment and management of containerized applications and services easier and more efficient. If you're looking for a quick read to understand how Portainer fits into the cloud native landscape, the problems it can solve for engineering teams, and how organizations can leverage it to bridge the gap between legacy infrastructure and modern software deployment standards, this concise and practical report fits the bill.

I have used Portainer in every container environment since then. It’s a great tool to give developers and operators access to containerized architectures regardless of their personal expertise. Portainer allows administrators to define different access levels for different people and thus enables them to keep their container infrastructure secure and stable while still allowing everyone to do their jobs independently. It speeds up their learning process, eases management, and gives people confidence to own their application deployments.

Modern software development teams are often cross-functional and operate with a “you build it, you run it” mentality. This report will outline how Portainer can help developers, operators, and service managers alike to deploy and operate containerized applications with that mindset, providing self-service and meaningful insights to all stakeholders.

Since Docker Swarm has mostly been superseded by Kubernetes in recent years, you will learn about the role Kubernetes plays in modern application development, the challenges developers face with cloud native software architecture, and how Portainer enables development teams to manage their application stack by incorporating industry best practices like GitOps, role-based access control, and hybrid-cloud environments.
