Do not depend on images — you indispensable rely on!

Wherever you look there is this flagship “high availability” with which everyone advertises. With this self burdening promise comes also a responsibility. This is exactly where concepts like Kubernetes and CI/CD comes into play. These concepts allow us to serve better uptimes for our applications. Make our releases more error insusceptible.
All these solutions have something in common: Images
If you don’t build them from scratch…
Not so long ago container virtualization wasn’t even a thing. Nowadays it’s hard to find a tutorial where Docker, Kubernetes and Co. aren’t mentioned. These tools got accepted and used by many in our open-source community. Based on this fact, we have seen a lot of improvement since then.
