What is the containerized Miles delivery?

Miles containerized deployments represent the evolution of our flagship product, Miles Enterprise, into a cloud-native application. Unlike traditional software deployment, which relies on specific operating systems and manual scalability, Miles utilizes containerization technology. Containers encapsulate the application along with its dependencies, enabling it to run consistently across different computing environments. 

This transition means that you no longer need to worry about the underlying operating system or application server. Instead, you can focus on your core business while enjoying the benefits of a dynamically scalable and resilient platform. 

What are the benefits of containerized Miles?

  • Improved efficiency and reduced maintenance 

Containerized deployments simplify maintenance by standardizing configurations through environment variables. This means less effort in maintaining and configuring VMs (virtual machines) and application servers.  

  • Enhanced reliability and availability 

Cloud-native applications are resilient and highly available by design. By leveraging agile best practices like DevOps and continuous delivery (CD/GitOps), a containerized Miles ensures your operations run smoothly with minimal downtime and maximum reliability.

  • Scalability and flexibility 

The containerized approach makes scaling your operations to meet demand easier than ever. The platform can automatically adjust the number of nodes, ensuring optimal performance whether you manage a small or large fleet. This flexibility allows for cost-efficient scaling without the need for expensive clustered setups. 

  • Higher security levels 

The ability to consistently update the entire technology stack, including the latest security patches, is another crucial benefit. This ensures your Miles instance remains optimized and secure, protecting your operations against emerging threats. 

What does this mean for you?

  • Standardized deployments 

Miles Enterprise containerizations offer a clear and consistent deployment process, reducing variability and ensuring reliable performance across different environments. This standardization is key to maintaining operational efficiency and reducing the risk of errors. 

  • Simplified maintenance and configuration 

The shift to containerized deployments means fewer moving parts and simplified configurations. Your teams will spend less time managing infrastructure configurations and more time on strategic projects that drive business value. 

  • Future-proofing your operations 

Embracing a cloud-native approach prepares your systems for future advancements. You’ll be positioned to integrate new developments smoothly, ensuring your operations remain current. Additionally, new updates are automatically checked for vulnerabilities in line with industry standards. 

  • Increased transparency and auditability 

With GitOps practices, every change is tracked, audited, and transparent. This enhances accountability and provides a clear trail of changes, which is invaluable for compliance and security purposes.
