CURRENT TENDENCIES IN MANAGEMENT AUTOMATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND APPLICATION CONTAINERIZATIONFOR CLOUD SYSTEMS

Abstract

Cloud technologies are transforming the IT landscape, offering organizations flexibility, scalability, and economic benefit. However, the effective use of clouds requires not only the implementation of appropriate platforms but also meticulous management of infrastructure and application containerization. This task becomes more complex with the growth of data volumes, scaling of information systems, and the dynamic development of modern information technologies. The purpose of the work. Management automation of infrastructure and application containerization can enhance the flexibility, expandability, reliability, and security of cloud systems, providing the organization with significant benefits. Thanks to automation,it is possible to reduce the risk of human errors in the process of deploying and updating services, speed up application deployment, improve monitoring of information systems, and simplify their scaling. The methodology. There are various practices and patterns to accomplish this, such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerization, microservice architecture, container orchestration platforms, and various monitoring tools. Nevertheless, the choice of appropriate solutions primarily depends on the specific demands and resources of the certain enterprise. It is important to carefully assess these needs, select proper technologies and tools, and be stuffed with skilled experts for their introduction and support. The scientific novelty. The implementation of management automation of infrastructure and application containerizing is one of key success factors for organizations aiming to achieve effective use of cloud technologies. This tendency has significant development prospects. It is essential to keep up with current research in this field and to implement modern innovative investigation results. This will maximize the advantages of automation for improving operational efficiency and enterprise competitiveness in general. Conclusions. Currently, there is a certain number of technologies, the use of which allows the automation of infrastructure management and application deployment within cloud systems. However, each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Within this study, the authors analyzed these existing solutions, made conclusions about the appropriateness of their application in accordance with the modern requirements of microserver architecture, and provided a reasoned basis for the development of improved models and information technology for the management automation of infrastructure and application containerization for cloud systems.
